Svchost Process Analyzer lists all svchost instances and checks the services they contain. Svchost.exe is a generic host process name for Windows services that run from dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). The authentic svchost.exe is located in C:\Windows\System32, but numerous viruses and trojans use the same file and process name to hide their activities. Svchost Process Analyzer makes it easy to uncover Svchost worms like the infamous Conficker worm.

I check it with virustotal - everything is fine. @mars it was a false positive. I can recommend this tool.
Tried to run "Svchost Process Analyzer", but 'commodo internet security' decided to quarantine "Backdoor.win32.Blackhole.sj@2950603"
I don't know if this is a Trojan, So i'm taking no chances.
I could never hate a free application unless it was total garbage. It's what keeps me coming back to this site. This one isn't total garbage but it is limited to looking for one type of problem that the authors have a solution for, on their website, for a fee. It's a marketing gimmick. Can't hate that, but don't have to buy into it either. Can always just keep this app in your toolbox as one more specialized tool.
Antivirus apps are notoriously bad at detecting svchost intrusions.
I can see why the scum who write viruses and distribute trojans would hate something like this, but wonder why anyone else would.
Shouldn't you're anti-virus cover this kind of thing. I would hope so!
No, don't delete it! Run it through a file shredder utilizing the Gutmann 35-pass overwrite scheme. I don't care for this one, either.
Yep, well said...just deleted it!
Think this program is a smart commercial scam.
It is not the first time i have seen this kind of attempt to lure people to buy another program.
Put it in the bin where it belongs.
VirusTotal doesnt detect all new viruses
and badware.
Always run new stuff on a seperate
machine and watch for wierdness...
