svchost.exe seems to be a win 2000/xp file. norton antivirus detected it on my win 95 machine with the "trojan.startpage.virus" since it is not a windows 95 program (I checked the registry.) I am just deleting the file. (apostropes not allowed also. lol)

SVCHOST.exe is a valid Microsoft file if it is in the System32 folder as a file. I found another svchost.exe with a recent create date inside a folder inside System32 folder on XP. I deleted it.
