<h1>Svchost.exe and Igfxpers.exe Windows Processes</h1>

As a kid I pretty much knew what a computer program was: it was
what you loaded on to your system after 15 minutes of screeching
from a cassette deck (if you were lucky: if you weren't lucky it
crashed after 14 minutes). Nowadays software is so many times more
complicated and sophisticated. Programs are now collections of
smaller programs each handling different aspects of the larger
program's functionality such as printing and graphics etc.
Now a computer program is a sequential series of instructions
that your computer follows to, say, print a document, in the same
way that a recipe is a sequential series of instructions that you
follow to bake a cake. If the program is the series of
instructions, a process is an instance of these instructions being
executed.
You can actually check out the processes running on your PC at
any point in time. All you have to do is either press the CTRL, ALT
and DELETE keys together and then click on 
Task manager from the window that then appears, or you can
press the CTRL, SHIFT and ESCAPE keys together which will call up
the task manager directly. Depending on how much software you have
running and installed you'll probably see something in the region
of 30-40 processes.
Taking just one process as an example, to see what it does, lets
look at igfxpers.exe. This is a process installed alongside the
NVidia graphics cards and provides additional configuration options
for these devices. This program is a non-essential process, but
should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing
problems.
Not all processes are useful and some are out and out harmful,
and so terminating processes is an effective way to remove threats
and increase memory. However you have to be careful since malicious
processes sometimes disguise themselves as important processes in
order to side-step your security.
Take svchost.exe as an example. This 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.
However scvhost.exe is a process which is registered as
W32/Agobot-S virus. This Trojan allows attackers to access your
computer from remote locations, stealing passwords, Internet
banking and personal data. This process is a security risk and
should be removed from your system, but to hide this virus, the
virus writers have chosen a name that is similar to that of a
necessary process.
