odd security analyser result ?

[jackdinn]

just seems odd to me that the security analyser (HJT) log shows this line as a dodgy service :-

 

O23 - Service: Automatic Updates (wuauserv) - Unknown - %systemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe

 

is this not just the normal auto update service "Automatic Updates" running :-

C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs

 

i cheeked all 4 of my pc`s and they all have it and on this comp i have just re-installed XPp SP3 2 days ago.

 

it wasn't flagged before i just updated ASC3 today,

i suppose it could be malicious but would like confirmation on this one please.

 

Thx for your help.

JackDinn.
