While the file properties state the file is developed by 'Microsoft Corporation', this is not the case and it is designed just to look like a legitimate Microsoft system file. The application svchost.exe, “Host Process for Windows Services” by ABDULKADIR SAHIN has been detected as adware by 23 anti-malware scanners. It runs as a separate (within the context of its own process) windows Service named “svchost”. Although this file uses the name svchost.exe, this is NOT the Windows SvcHost (Service Host) distributed with the OS.
