    Kaspersky detects svchost.exe
    My Kaspersky detects svchost.exe every 10 minutes.

    Svchost.exe does not use 100% of my CPU and does not restart my computer, So I does not think that it is a virus.

    So How Can I stop this Message in Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0.0.120 ?

    Svchost.exe is a legitimate Windows operating system file used to run processes from DLLs and should be in Windows' \system32 folder.

    If you think this detection is a false positive, contact Kaspersky. Otherwise, confirm Kaspersky's assessment by scanning the file with Trend Micro's online scanner or another scanner, especially if the file is located elsewhere.
