Hi Howard,

Very hard to say without having a sample or knowing what service your server
performs. svchost.exe is a valid Windows process and also commonly used
by/with many many malware.

Dear all,

I discovered that an "svchost.exe" start when the server start.
This svchost.exe try to sync_sent to random http host when I view from
netstat, active port, and pviewer.

However, does anyone know which worms/torjon/normal process causes the
svchost do such job? and how to stop this?
Is this a normal prcoess?

My Server is a fully patched windows 2003 server. net.
The svchost.exe is microsoft verifid and located at c:\windows\system32

Regards,
Howard
