svchost is just the services of your windows, basically mini programs that the windows run to handle smaller shit, and also can be installed by other programs.
And one of those could be something nasty.

Usually you just leave them alone except that one fucker that decides to eat CPU usage like crazy.

>>386827240
Every instance of svchost.exe is another user.

When you "log into" windows, you olen one instance of svchost.exe your your larticular username.

Of you see 2 svchost.exe, that means that there are 2 people or entities using that particular pc at a time.

This isn't abnormal, as usually, Microsoft will have "shadow users" running routines in the background to collect metadata, screengrabs and various telemetry that assists with collecting user data.

Anything more than 4 or 6 rumming, is usually bitcoin programs, utilizing your machine to decrypt cryptocurrency, seed torrents or assist with bruteforce/DDoS attacks.

You have to be shitting me. I have an ancient PS2/N64 convertor that works fine out of the box. The fucking PS3 controller works out of the box, and that's something that Windows users need third party drivers for. Controller support is not at all a concern.

cats don't always extend their claws to attack, they can do it when they're happy as a way to hold you, kind of like a person would hold your hand I guess.

whenever my cat is happy and sitting on my lap or in my arms he will slightly extend his front claws when he has his paws flat on me, kind of feeling like he's holding onto me and doesn't want me to let go.

it's really cute when he reaches his arms around you and does it. It makes me feel terrible that my first cat I had for 18 years was declawed, I wish we never did it, he had a lot of problems later on in life solely because of the declawing, not to mention he never got to be a real cat, couldn't ever really play.

There are several viruses that exploit the local network for further spreading, and those definitively escape if you networked the VM with your real network.

Yeah, and they also split the process from ~10 stacks to dozens of individual entries earlier this year. It still looks wrong to have so many svchosts running, even when you know that it's how it is supposed to be.

>>386826275
svchost.exe using a lot of resources might not always be ransomware or a virus.
most of the time when that happens it could be because of superfetch.
its the file indexing subroutine of windows that is responsible for making navigating the explorer and searching for files fasters.
the issue is the damn thing seems to spring to live at the most inopportune moments.
really grinds my gears. i wish you could schedule that thing or atleast do only partial fetches every time a section of a drive changed rather than indexing everything all over again.

yep, in nu-windows the task manager actually shows you what each service host is running (7 does to but you have to manually click go to service(s) on each instance) there's like 90 gorillion backend tasks windows has to run now.

You are right though that a ton of secondary programs will use that to do all sorts of fucked up things though, but window's in general is just bad management.

>i have no issue running any older title on windows
Windows 10 actually uses a compatibility layer like Wine for all Win32 exe software (only actually supports UWP), but not quite as high quality for older games since their focus is primarily on legacy office software.
The upcoming Windows 10 S drops the compatibility layer and so only allows UWP software from the Windows Store to function and its likely this is the direction Windows is going as a whole.

Its entirely possible that games bottled up with Wine inside a UWP will become the preferred method of running legacy Windows games even on Windows in the same way that DOSbox has completely replaced Microsoft's own DOS compatibility layer.

Most viruses made by anyone worth their salt are designed to detect they are running on a VM and self-destruct to prevent any sort of analysis/disassembly. But yes, they can if they are set up to do that by exploiting bugs or exploits to escape the VM into the host system. It's why airgapping analysis machines is standard practice, even if it does breach containment it can't go anywhere.
