Hi,
I would like to inform you that svchost is usually associated with virus. Hence, the computer might be infected.
Method 1: I request you to run SFC scan and check if the issue is resolved.
The
sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions. When the scan is complete, the System File Checker tool indicates whether integrity violations were found. If integrity violations
are found, the System File Checker tool lets you fix the integrity violations.
Follow these steps to run SFC scan:
**a.**Press
Windows key + X and click on Command Prompt (Admin).
**b.**In the command prompt, type
sfc /scannow and press Enter.
NOTE: This may take a while to finish running.
Method 2:
I request you to download Microsoft Safety Scanner, boot the computer in Safe Mode and run a full virus scan.
Safe mode is a troubleshooting option for Windows that starts your computer in a limited state. Only the basic files
and drivers necessary to run Windows are started.
Follow the link below to learn how to do so.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode
Run a full virus scan and check if the issue is resolved.
The
Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free-to-download security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software.

Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after
being downloaded. To rerun a scan with the latest anti-malware definitions, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.
**Disclaimer:**Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss.
