Why so many svchost.exe running?
I have 7 svchost.exe running. 3 are under the user name "system" others are under "network service" and "local service". Why so many, and will the Windows 7 change the number of Process running? Thank you for your help. -- Samtheman Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com

Thank you for your help. It's perfectly normal to have several instances of Svchost.exe running simultaneously. A Description of Svchost.exe in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;Q314056 However, if Svchost.exe is using a large portion of your CPU cycles, it may well have been "hijacked" by a worm, Trojan, or scumware. To determine if this is the case, use your preferred antivirus and spyware applications to scan for problems. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot

Just for grins do a search on your harddrive for svchost.exe. Look for the
directories that come up. If any of the files are in a directory other than System32 or Prefetch than this could be the problem. ---- "Samtheman" wrote: I have 7 svchost.exe running. 3 are under the user name "system" others are under "network service" and "local service".
