Do you see svchost.exe in sqlserver 2005 jobs?

  • Hi,

    I have a SQLServer 2005 on a client server and it seems that the server has some viruses.

    I have stopped many of SQLServer jobs and remove them, but I cant stop this stupid 'svchost.exe' job, and so I cant Remove it.

    There is only one application using the SQLServer (MOSS 2007) and I don't know why this job is created.

    Please help

    Best Regards,
    Ashkan

  • Dear Dev,

    As you said it is Windows XP service, not sqlserver2005 job running on windows server 2008.

    I'm shocked!

  • I don't know what to do? is it a real task or it is fake?

    did anybody see something like this? Is it possible that a virus has created this job?

    Dear Dev,

    As you said it is Windows XP service, not sqlserver2005 job running on windows server 2008.

    I'm shocked!

    It's also there in W2K8... See below (not related to your issues. Just to support the thought they are known components of W2K8)

    A memory leak occurs in Svchost.exe when you apply or update Group Policy preference settings in Windows Server 2008

    The Svchost.exe process that has the WMI service crashes in Windows Server 2008 R2 or in Windows 7

  • Thanks , but does it make any sense that you have it on your sql job list?
