How to stop svchost.exe to connect to internet?

I used a software known as TCPview. I used it to monitor what are the services that are connected to the internet. In this I found out that svchost.exe is always downloading something. It is not the automatic windows update since I changed the windows
update to manual. So please help me since my internet speed is very slow & in that svchost.exe is always downloading something....

On a newly setup system svchost.exe is the process that runs a lot of services. This means that some service may be downloading something that is important to it. Or it may always be a different service.
The resmon.exe can tell you more about which service is downloading stuff. Under network you can look for the PID of the svchost.exe that is downloading and then go to the services tab in the task manager. There you look for the PID again and hopefully find
a useful description that let's you decide what to do.
On the other hand svchost.exe is a very loved name by some shady programmers looking for new bots for their networks or for some useful login or credit card data. Meaning is all of your software and especially your windows up to date and have you an always
watching and updated anti virus software installed? Even if so a virus might be something to consider

  • How to stop FIM from Deleting Connections?

    There is something that i need, but have ben unable to do... and that is to keep my BDC data even when there is no connection. I have not been able to figure out how to stop deletes from happening... this is what happens when my service is down
    This is the result of the DeltaImport... It adds a SPS-Dummy object and removes all my objects, this causes all my fields in the user profile to become empty. I do not want this to happen. How can I configure FIM to not do this?
    This is the result of the DeltaSync...
    I have been working on this for days, and I just can't figure it out. I am going crazy!!! Please assist me.

    Hi Marc,
    Sorry for the typo. It's a BDC source, I use a WCF client to access a SQL Database (HR External System) that has 4 fields that are necessary to present in the Sharepoint User Profile. The issue occurs with a Full or a Delta Sync. The problem is that if the
    BDC source is not present the fields are deleted (I get a SPS-Dummy Added and all of the pbjects in the BDC Connector Space are deleted).
    I do not want this to happen. I do not want the User Profile Attributes/Fields to be empty/deleted if there is no connection I simply want them to stay what they are... I have two issues.
    1) Is that the even if i change my data on SQL Server side, the changes do not get picked up by the sync. Since the only field that is being tested for change is an ADid, since the id does not change the BDC does not consider them changes.
    2) If there is no connection I do not want the attributes to be deleted. I have not figured out a way to effectively do this.
    So my issue appears to be simple to solve, but after 4 days and hundreds of tutorial pages read I have yet to figure out a proper way to do this.
    Here is the pseudo-specification
    The Fields that come form the HR System (SQL Server) are to be presented in the user profile. If there is no connection to the BDC file the fields remain as they are until there is a connection and updates can be made. Changes to any of the fields are performed
    manually in the HR system. These changes must be picked up by the daily sync.

  • How to stop certain applications accessing the network/internet

    Hi.
    How do you stop certain applictions from accessing the internet/network.
    Thanks,
    Nathaniel

    Hmmm.
    I'd say that there's probably a setting in the final cut preferences to enable/disable automatic updates. Not sure about Office.
    +("Office, Software Update, Final Cut etc.")+
    And then there's the "etc"...don't know what that refers to . sorry.
    Is this process using an extraordinary proportion of your allocation of internet? Or is it more like on or two percent.?
    Sorry, I am not familiar with FinalCut, nor this mysterious "data card" with the allocated bandwidth.
    Are you so severely limited by this 'data card' service that you're on such a meager connection allowance? (sounds like the mileage limits on a car that I leased from nissan a few years ago. I was limited to something crazy like 10,000 miles per year, {adding} that's not a lot of miles here in the states)

  • Podcasts stopped downloading, says not connected to internet but laptop is.

    Podcasts stopped downloading. Refresh dosent work. Tried connecting to iStore but error message says computer not connected to internet but it is.

    Here are several things that you can try that might help.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Check Settings>General>Date &Time>Set Automatically>On.
    Reset your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.

  • How do stop a hum after connecting my mac book to sound system?

    hum problem

    Try resetting your PRAM.
    Resetting the NVRAM/PRAM
    Note: This will not delete any data.
    The NVRAM/PRAM stores information such as speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and recent kernel panic information (if any). You should reset the NVRAM/PRAM if you experience issues relating to these functions.
    Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
    Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
    Turn on the computer by pressing the Power Button.
    On the built-in keyboard, press and hold the Command (⌘), Option (⌥), P, and R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Continue to hold down the keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup chime for the second time.
    Release the keys on the built-in keyboard.
    If that doesn't work, try turning down the volume of the external speakers when they're not in use.
    I hope I helped.

  • Windows 7 desktop and laptop browsers stopped working even though connected to internet

    I have Fios connection for more that a year and I have ActionTec router.  Yesterday 2 of windows 7 devices stopped working on the browsers .   None of the browsers IE, Chrome, Firefox work on these machines.
    I know the internet is connected as I can see ip addresses using ipconfig and use ftp to remote machines.   I also see downloads for autoupdates are working as network panels show downloads going on.
    I have Kaspersky and it shows no virs activity.  
    On network panel it shows devices are connected to the router. I also tried wired connection but browsers on win 7 are not working.   
    I have tried winsock reset, ipconfig /renew and netip reset as some of users have sggested.   I have also tried sing 8.8.8.8 with 8.8.4.4 but still same issue.
    Please help

    I'd go into internet options and under connections tab and check if a proxy was added.
    commonplace now a days for malware and virus's to add proxy settings that divert your traffic, and unintended consequence is that you lose your connection when they are done siphoning whatever it was they were trying to get.
    With a proxy server configured, you will still be able to ping outbound, and tcp udb functions will work fine like downloads and ftp, and torrents, but anything that requires a domain may get invalid responses when their server goes offline.
    check them here.
    when you get to this window, leave everything unchecked, OR only the first auto detect

  • Firefox 5.0; how do I get it to connect to Internet via dial-up modem?

    Firefox 5.0 does not trigger dial up modem access when the program starts. I cannot find any way to get on line except to open another program such as IE that does the dial up, then switch to Firefox. I can find nowhere in tools to tell it to access dial up internet connection.

    Your original had tabs on top, the current one does not. Also I note a dark background, is that some none default theme or persona, or a side effect of system display changes ?
    I have noted others comment about pages needing zooming, no idea why that happens on some sytems, possibly something to do with the font changes.
    I do not notice much difference between versions screenshot attached Firefox 4 and Firefox 6.0a2 open adjacent to each other.

  • Memory leaks- high memory usage svchost.exe

    hello!
    im having a kind of a similar problem. Im using a Q6600 with 4Gb of RAM running on Windows 7 x64. My physical memory usage history is 1.75GB idle but my CPU usage looks good ~ 0%.
    In Windows Task Manager when i arranged the memory column, the process with the highest memory usge is svchost.exe with 116,572K. And i have 14 svchost.exe in my computer! I opened process exporer and check the legitimate of all those svchost.exe
    and they are all legit. When i look at the properties of the highest svchost.exe in process explorer, the services which is running under it is as follows
    AudioEndPointBuilder c:\Windows\System32\Audiosrv.dll
    CscService c:\Windows\System32\cscsvc.dll
    hidserv c:\Windows\System32\hidserv.dll
    Netman c:\Windows\System32\netman.dll
    PcaSvc c:\Windows\System32\pcasvc.dll
    SysMain c:\Windows\System32\sysmail.dll
    TrkWks c:\Windows\System32\trkwks.dll
    UxSms c:\Windows\System32\uxsms.dll
    wudfsvc c:\Windows\System32\WUDFSvc.dll
    All are legit DLLS.
    Is it normal to have 14 svchost.exe running at the same time(system, local service, network service in Task Manager)
    and how can i reduce the memory usage of the svchost.exe?

    Hi,
    There can be multiple instances of Svchost.exe running at the same time. Each Svchost.exe session can contain a grouping of services, so that separate services can
    be run depending on how and where Svchost.exe is started.
    If you would like to reduce the usage of this service, I could share the following article with you:
    Getting Started with SVCHOST.EXE Troubleshooting
    PRF: High CPU (SVCHOST.EXE)
    Hope it helps.
