Im not sure if this is normal, they dont appear to be using much cpu but all the same i like to know why i have so many of the same " svchost.exe" there.

I'm currently running XP Home Edition, SP2.

It is normal to have multiple instances of svchost.exe running. That said, you should always make sure that your computer is malware-free.
