not sure if this is spyware...

[Foxhound888]

I'm not sure if "svchost" is supposed to be on my computer, i see it when i bring up the task manager and look under proccesses, i would have not of noticed anything about that if it were'nt for my zonealarm firewall saying that the proccess wanted to connect to the internet, should i let it connect or not?

This might be an easy answer question but i just want to be safe. I really need some none the less because i'm sort of worried.

Thanks in advance.

have you ran a spyware scan yet? do that and you will find out

Svchost is a perfectly normal Process. Try closing it it will turn your PC off. Not fun when you miss closing one, and hit closing it.

If you run Microsoft Antispyware just once on full scan for the 10 minutes or so depending on your Hard Drive Size you will have no Spyware. Then you can trust all your processes (except qtask; which is just plain annoying and doesn't want to die, if I could uninstall it I would).
