windows svchost

[Jorz]

i have read somwhere that it svchost should be displayed only once on the task manager,and if its up to 1 then its a virus?

heres a pic: http://img830.imageshack.us/f/svchost.jpg/

but it displays that its on from system,so is everything ok?if yes can i terminate any of those or should all of them run?

svchost.exe is needed to run different services out of DLL files . Its normal that theyre running multiple times , i have 5 of them atm running on my comp . They are always started from Windows/system32 , if thats not the case it maybe some virus . Already checked your system with a antivirus programm ?

I have also 7 of them running with approximately same descriptions as yours. I never paid much attention to them. I use Nod32 as antivirus and didn't have problems with viruses so far. I wouldn't terminate processes that I'm not sure what they actually do.

I was wondering the same thing, so I did a quick Google check, and the reason for separating them is because they run critical processes, and if one fails, then it won't terminate the whole system.

yes checked no viruses.

I searched this exe file and founded on systen32 just wondered why it was runing multiple times and thought it was also somewhere on program files.

Anyways thanks guys

you can check every process where it from. Or use my tuto for a total malware clean. This task is the updates for your OS.
