SVCHOST.EXE

[S.Gecko]

Hi all --

I'm running Windows Vista and when HeRO runs, I get a message from my firewall asking if I want to allow access for svchost.exe to the Internet.

I'm not getting the message for other servers I access (iRO, or Sakray), so wanted to check and see if this is expected behavior, or if somehow a pesky Trojan got installed.

Thanks,
- sG

svchost.exe is a system process belonging to the Microsoft Windows Operating System which handles processes executed from DLLs. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

Just because my explanations can be a bit vague sometimes I included the above quote. Basically you need it to allow the .dlls for the game to work properly.

if you're using windows firewall.... TURN IT THE HELL OFF!

Even the one on vista is so crappy it'll actually INVITE threats.
