    Ok so eithers a trojan or a natural windows process. I had no problems until randomly the miRC program installed. So I uninstalled it and ran a spyware check. Nothing out of the ordinary. Also a new process was up under my processes which I knew damn sure never comes up when I'm idle so I ended the process. Then I use my registry cleaner. Now when I start up I have an error message whose title is Desktop, and the baisc statement is c:windows/blah blah/svchost/czvhost.exe is not in the registry which I'm sure the registry cleaner got rid of. Now svchost is not running either. All the info I could find about czvhost says its a trojan/virus. I'm running a thorough virus scan now which should take a while.

    So my point is what is svchost and is it necessary because its no longer running. The websites like I said are confusing but nothing is definite.
