Hi,
today i got this process running, it is called SVCHOST.EXE(yes it is in CAPS), it appears in D:\WINDOWS\SVCHOST.EXE(D:\windows is my system directory, not in C, i cannot see it because i think it is hidden, so when i go to folder options > view > check show hidden files and folders..i click apply/OK, and then straight away changes back to "don't show hidden files and folders", so i think this is file is preventing me from allowing me to see hidden files and folders..
