Svchost Process Analyzer lists all svchost instances and checks the services they contain. Svchost.exe is a generic host process name for Windows services that run from dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). The authentic svchost.exe is located in C:\Windows\System32, but numerous viruses and trojans use the same file and process name to hide their activities. Svchost Process Analyzer makes it easy to uncover Svchost worms like the infamous Conficker worm.

I check it with virustotal - everything is fine. @mars it was a false positive. I can recommend this tool.

I like it. Program is fast to launch (less than 2 seconds), is responsive and does the job to quickly kill frozen apps. |

a2hijackfree v31016 seems to corrupt system.ini and win.ini when checking Autoruns. I was forced to scanreg /restore to get Win 98 up & running again.

Advanced Process Manipulation (APM) is an advanced process/module viewer and manipulation utility that allows particular control over target processes by becoming a part of them. APM attaches a part of itself to the target process and once 'inside', APM is free to perform actions on its behalf (e.g.: determining which ports are in use, un/loading DLLs into the target process, allowing you to make plugins for virtually any program...)

Regmon is a registry monitoring utility that will show you which applications are accessing your registry, which keys they are accessing, and the registry data that they are reading and writing - all in real-time. This advanced utility takes you one step beyond what static registry tools can do, to let you see and understand exactly how programs use the registry.
Note that Vista and above are encouraged to use Process Monitor.
