    Is svchost.exe a virus?


    Recently I have downloaded some fishy cracked software from the internet, I deleted it the same day I downloaded it and I also ran a scan with HitmanPro and norton power ereaser, both deleted some suspicious files from my PC And I have noticed that there are a lot of svchost.exe procesess running on my computer around 50 and 4 of them are being ran as USER.I heard that svchost.exe processes ran by a USER could be a virus. This happened on a Windows 10. Unfortunately I cant include any screenshots because for some reason they fail to upload.

    :)
