Thanks.
I've check all the IP which the process generate. Part of them can be
confirmed as Microsoft IP.
I'm now contacting Microsft for the remaing IP list and asking them the
details about automatic update.
I think it is a valid windows update.

From the dll list you provide, I think it's windows automatic update
service.
This is because there is the dll - wuauserv.dll - which is used for windows
update.
You can see the same name (wuauserv) in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/wuauserv
Another evidence is that when you stop the automaic update service, the
process stop.
So I think it's a valid process, not a worm.

You can use a tool called IceSword.
It can be used to find what program (a dll file) the svchost.exe is
running.

Dear all,

I discovered that an "svchost.exe" start when the server start.
This svchost.exe try to sync_sent to random http host when I view from
netstat, active port, and pviewer.

However, does anyone know which worms/torjon/normal process causes the
svchost do such job? and how to stop this?
Is this a normal prcoess?

My Server is a fully patched windows 2003 server. net.
The svchost.exe is microsoft verifid and located at c:\windows\system32

Howard
