asked on

System Management Process as service.

Ok I hope someone can help.

Yesterday all of a sudden no the network slowed down and no one could get out to the internet.

I think the problem is on our Windows 2000 Workstation keep broadcasting out. I see that there is a service running called system management process and it is called server.fcc in the registry. I also see it in the registry under all the run, runonce, etc...

If I get rid of it in the registry and reboot the machines work fine for about 10 minutes and then it comes back and the network slow down again.

I hope I explained it ok. Very tired. HELP!!!

First of all post the entry from registry for this process located at: -

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

All it says there is

System Management Process REG_SZ scvhosts.exe

Anything else I can do?

Nirmal Sharma

>>> scvhosts.exe

Please check it once again...its SVCHOST.exe or SWCHOST.exe or SVOHOST.exe

Did you download the HighJackThis ? If yes then run it and post the log here to manually fix it.
