Q On running some anti-virus software I was warned about a
program called svhost.exe.
It seems to be taking a lot of the processor time in Device Manager and the
computer seems slower. Is this really a problem and how can I remove it?
John Burrows
A You are right that this is indeed a malicious program,
although it is classified as a spyware worm rather than a virus.
You should try and remove it as it may steal personal information and will
impair the performance of your computer.
The easiest way to do this is to run a full scan of your computer with both
anti-virus and anti-spyware software. If you don’t have either of these you can
find our recommended software at
