[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 1101295, member: 7463"] No- If a malicious file tries to connect out (using svchost) the FW alert would be for the Child process and not svchost itself (remember that svchost will never connect out by itself, thus no alert for the legitimate executable). On the other hand, malware can masquerade as svchost (unsigned) and in this case an alert for svchost will be given. This weekend will be a Worm doing just that and bypassing the protection of the anti-malware application highlighted. [/QUOTE]
