VSHOST is a feature in Visual Studio that improves the debugging process. Something is trying to run a Visual Studio app when you go to that drive and it’s crashing. If you get a box that pops up and asks “Do you want to debug?” click the NO button and allow the process to continue to find out what is crashing. Visual Studio can be used for so many things that it’s impossible to help you without more information.
If you are actually working on a project in VS, go here to see how to kill the hosting process:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/…
If you’re NOT working on a project in VS then you probably have a virus/malware, but VS Hosting can act weird in Vista with UAC turned on, so you could try disabling UAC if you’re running Vista.
Good Luck
You are infected with a virus. Use an updated AV software to remove it.
or You can try this….. (Not works all the time).
Install winrar. Using winrar, explore the D: drive. You may see a file called autorun.inf. Delete that file and restart the PC. If problem remains, You have to use the first option first. Because the virus process running on the background re copy the file that we deleted.
Thank you dakshina it works for me first of your advice . I use Winrar and indeed autorun.inf was present in my root partition, invisible even if i check from tool menu show hidden files.
Thank You !!!
