Most Common Malware Related Processes-Scvhost.exe

The scvhost.exe process is a prime example of malicious applications using close imitations of genuine process names in an attempt to remain undetected on your system. The genuine process name, in this case, is svchost.exe of which there may be several running on your system at any time. As part of the Agobot worm, this process is partially responsible for opening a backdoor access to your system from where third party hackers can control your system, steal personal information, and perform other undesirable and damaging actions.

The Agobot worm is potentially dangerous to have installed on your system and, as such, it is important that you download the latest updates to your antispyware software and run a full system scan. Ideally you should always have the proactive protection that good antispyware offers enabled. This may prevent the installing of applications like Agobot in the first place.
