Svchost Process Analyzer : Test your machine

[Rishi]

When it comes to malware, untrained eyes may struggle to figure out whether a file is malicious or not. The svchost.exe virus, in particular, falls under this umbrella of ambiguity — while the virus attached to this file is obviously bad, the svchost.exe by itself is really a core Windows file.So many times we hear about svchost being a suspicious file in the Malware Reporting Forum, and there is a reason for that.
The authentic svchost.exe file is located in C:\Windows\System32, but numerous viruses and trojans use the same file and process name to hide their activities.
How to check svchost status quickly? The free Svchost Process Analyzer makes it easy by listing all svchost instances and checks the services they contain.This makes it easy to uncover Svchost worms like the infamous Conficker worm.

On a side note : Experts at MT will be digging into their advanced task managers, etc, but, this small utility isn't meant to compete with paid/free ones like process hacker and process explorer.Just a fun, quick way to scan svchost. I am posting my results here, let's see yours .

Not sure it will work great in sandbox without configuring, maybe with SD if you are really concerned.
