SVCHOST.EXE is malware which infects the registry
How do I delete this registry infection? The problem appears under the name ‘INTERACTIVE SERVICES DIALOG DETECTION’ and prevents printer function (in my case). I have tried using MS Config to eliminate unknown downloads but that didn’t work . Have tried several registry ‘cleaners’ without success.
