Svchost handles processes excecuted by dlls. Ok, fine. But some are good, some are bad, and some just randomly take up a ****load of memory. And all seem anonymous.

Is there a way to find out which programs or processes are utilizing svchost? This would allow me to determine if I should terminate a suspicious instance, or give me general knowledge of what is going on in my system, rather than trusting that its a good process that is being acommodated, because if I terminate it and it is legitimate, bad things can happen, and have.
 
Roy,
Thanks for that... I didn*t know and that seems like a good MS resource you are pointing to. I bet BlackScarlet will make use of that as well.

Techspot comes through again! Excellent! = TG
