problems with svchost.exe

[foca23]

Hello, I hope someone can help me, it turns out that the system reports many incoming connections blocked for svchost.exe, later I installed a firewall and it tells me that it has other processes running from other addresses. Later, I do the antivirus scan and it tells me that everything is clean, but I don't know how to stop the incoming attacks on svchost.exe, could you guide me?
1) what could you do to correct this risk
2) in your opinion, I should format the hard drive.

thank you so much for your opinion

many incoming connections blocked

The attempts on various ports are tried by bots.   But they are STOPPED  by the Malwarebytes real-time web protection.

Malwarebytes is protecting your system.

See this article  https://support.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048565893-Receiving-message-Website-blocked-due-to-compromise

 

In most cases the attempted probes will eventually stop on their own. If it continues you can add the IP to the local firewall to prevent it from contacting the computer period.
If you wish to do so, here is one how-to guide for the Windows software firewall

Additionally or alternatively, if this is on Windows 10 PRO  and if you do not need or use Remote Desktop,  you can turn that off.

Another solution to the issue is to have a router between your ISP modem and your computers.

[foca23]

Porthos thanks alot.

 

Hello Porthos, sorry for the inconvenience, and I thank you for all your answers, just one question: what is a router between your ISP's modem and your computers, or where could I look for more information about it?
Is it necessary to use a firewall in addition to malwarebytes?

Actually, thank you very much for your attention and answers, you help me a lot, I don't know much about these things but it's happening to me.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your support because I don't know very well about these things, excuse me this Router, how it could help us face the attack, or by chance there is a user guide for this type of case. Once again I apologize and thank you very much for your attention Porthos.

Routers are hardware firewalls. The incoming probes would be blocked.

Are all of these blocks incoming?

If the attacks are detected but malwarebytes does not tell me what stops them, does any router have a firewall? My internet provider gives me a router, do you think I could configure some options on it? Does having WiFi bulbs reduce my router's security? In these cases is it advisable to reset the router to factory data? Thank you very much, if there are many questions that you could guide with I would be more than grateful
