How do you people who have Agnitum Outpost block the SCVHOST queries coming in? There are dozens each day.
My cable company has to get through, but what do I do about the others. It's a pain trying to set up a block on each one.
TIA

If you are seeing 'SCVHOST' instead of 'SVCHOST', then you probably have a worm (possibly W32/Agobot-S).
Agobot is in the same family as Gaobot. The Gaobot Removal tool from Symantec might get rid of it for you.

Sorry, I had a typo, its SVCHOST.
I use Outpost Pro, and I don't get any SVCHOST messages at all. I wonder if you might have some malware on your PC.
Run these two removal programs first, after updating the definitions:
Spybot S & D
Adaware
If you still experience problems, unzip this program into its own permanent folder, run it and post the logfile in our Hijack This Logfile forum here:

I posted the hijackthis log. I checked some of the url's of the people wanting in thru SVCHOST and some were government agencies, some were cable ISP's, some were colleges.
