Hey all

I'm having some concerns about the number of svchost.exe file/program

runnign window.


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.

Hello malke

I have run mcafee, spydoctor, spyeraser and spy sweeper and all say my
system is clean. My concern is why svchost.exe has to load 6
files/programs
on start up and can be seen when you look through windows task
monitor/processess.

1. svchost.exe = System 8,344k
2. svchost.exe = System 4,280k
3. svchost.exe = Local Service 3,904k
4. svchost.exe = System 5,012k
5. svchost.exe = Network Service 4,540k
6. svchost.exe = System 20,568k
7. svchost.exe = Network Service 3,372k

So i have 7 not 6 ,and some of them are called the same but with
difference
sizes.


The mere fact that 7 different processes are all executing the program
svchost.exe means nothing.
