User Reviews of the "svchost.exe"

  • THREATrating from user The_Truth_Sets_U_Free for file C:\Windows\System32\svchost_lanmanserver.exe (Variant: 1905003)

    It seems as though almost every time I turn around, a new 'Microsoft' process or service appears on these lists in Task Manager. I don't understand why Microsoft has to be so "cloak-and-dagger" with it's customers, but if you ask me-------I'd say that Microsoft is up to no good behind the curtain! I'm so sick and tired of Microsoft's authoritarian rhetoric about what it's customers needs really are!

    I'm so sick and tired of Microsoft's authoritarian rhetoric about what it's customers needs really are!
    If Microsoft, even for one second, stopped to actually listen to it's customers with understanding and a desire [ NOT TO TAKE THINGS AWAY FROM US ], then things just might start changing for the better.
    Unfortunately, we, the customer, know better than that, and we realize that Microsoft is just another Corporate-Thug just trying to suppress and control what it's customers say, think and do.
    Contrary to it's Merry-Happy-Oneness Mantra, most discerning customers already are well aware that we are being propagandized to accept Microsoft's exploitation of us.
    When is enough going to be enough with all this ho-ranging hoopla. When will our elected officials finally starting growing back-bones and start standing up against Monstrosities like Microsoft?!
    Years ago, I left Google because of their invasion of my privacy and their over-zealous network of connected ad-marketing affiliates whom think they have a right to exploit who we are because we may use a simply email service. I also left Yahoo for the same reason, and while I've been with Microsoft Outlook for quite a while, after watching Microsoft play this same cat-and-mouse game with it's customer's, by forcing advertisements as well as it's Win10 upgrade on so many unsuspecting victims, I've finally jumped ship and said that's it-------I'm done with Microsoft and it's manipulative systems and people and how it passes the buck with every customers at our expense while permitting it's filthy-rotten ad-partners unbridled access to our highly sensitive, personally identifiable information.
