    svchost.exe accesses a "dangerous webpage"


    My Bitdefender software blocked Win 10 svchost.exe from accessing a "dangerous webpage". Turns out svchost.exe Windows/System32 has an expired certificate valid from 6/6/2018 to 5/29/2019.


    Has anybody else experienced similar odd svchost.exe behavior; and

    Shouldn't svchost.exe have a valid certificate?

    Any help appreciated.

    :)

    svchost is part of the OS, it just interacts with other aspects.

    What does the svchost do?

    Lots of Windows services are tied to the SVChost, and /or are listed as SVChost in the process list(s).

    Unfortunatley with Vista, there's a lot more dependencies between the services, and thus you'll be FORCED to run more instances of SVChosts; unlike XP where things were more independent and you could disable more features resulting in less SVChost instances. That and XP and Vista are different.

    Regardless of your Windows version, you can check out some service slimming guides or goto Black Viper's website and take his advice. Depending on your needs you may be able to cut down the amount of SVChost running, and save some RAM.

    XP should never have an SVChost using 50mb. Vista however can.

    Isnt svchost a service related to programs tho, and not the OS itself?
    Like for example, there are multiple svchosts at any one time for multiple programs.

    Though i suppose that still suggests the OS is buggered at the core.
