I have a very high ping on game servers when I allow SVChost.exe to run.?

When I shut it down in the task manager the pings go back to normal. I feel like this is a solution, but one that could be better for sure. Any help would be great.

I have a very high ping on game servers when I allow SVChost.exe to run.?
Hi.





As no one has yet replied I think it would be best posting this in the Internet section too.

Svchost.exe is a legit Windows system file. It's strange that it is causing you to get high pings. Some viruses can disguise themselfs as Svchost.exe, but I *think* they would usually be in other folders, not the System32 folder - I could be wrong though.





You could try searching your PC for "svchost.exe", then upload them to http://www.virustotal.com/ and http://www.virustotal.com/


They will scan the file(s) using multiple antivirus engines.





Just go to start %26gt; search, and go to "all files and folders", then "more advanced options" and make sure the "search hidden files and folders" box is ticked, then search for "svchost.exe".
