If the svchost.exe process is running from C:&#92;Windows&#92;System32&#92; then it is not a virus.  For information on what svchost.exe is and how to find the services each svchost.exe process is managing, you can read the following guide:\n\nhttp://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial129.html

Unless you are running MS SERVER NT, 2000, OR 2003, then it is VERY likely you have way too much running.\n\nyou may sort the processes by user. Locate the section listing the user logon you use. You can google anything listed, use full file name and extension, put quotes around it.\n\ngoogle 'running processes' xp list\nfor sites that have them listed.  most listed under your login, are optional, though you may need them to support programs you want to run, like:\nAnti-virus\nMS office\nPrinter software\nModem\nVideo graphics software.\n\nThe OS will not let you kill a process it needs to run.\n\nFor XP (any type,)\nto help optimize performance.  click--start---right-click 'my computer'---choose 'properties'\n\nclick the 'advanced' tab, then click 'settings' button in the performance section. then choose 'adjust for best performance', click 'OK', 'OK'

You have remnants of a trojan here, possibly isearch toolbar. Take a look at this: http://www.fileresearchcenter.com/M/MSCHKSYS.EXE-6330.html\n\nFirst use the antivirus and antispyware software you have to run a full system scan. Do it in the windows safe mode. (AVG and avast antivirus softwares are free while a 6 month free trial for Norton is available at pack.google.com. Lavasoft's free Ad-Aware is the best antispyware to my knowledge. Also Windows Defender from Microsoft is good enough for real-time protection). This should identify the problem and most probably would solve it as well. However, if the antivirus software is unable to delete the malware, go to Norton's website and search for the name of the malware detected. Their must be some instructions posted to tackle the problem. You might have to delete the system restore points and as well delete the particular registry entries manually if the virus still regenerates on subsequent boot up of the machine. Good Luck.\n\nPS. If you are still having trouble, use Hijack This and copy the log it generates and post it on some tech help forum. I am sure there will be plenty of people ready to help you out.

You've got too many programs running in the background.  Try getting rid of some of the stuff you don't use in your systray or startup menu.

thats not good it should eventually drop to 1, 2 or 0 if there is no applications running, but only end a process if you recognize the name and its something your running, otherwise windows might have a damaging error in fact you should only end applications, not processes because ending all applications will end all the unimportant processes

You seem to have way too much running on your system at once. Here are some pointers:\n\n- Shut System Restore off -\nIf you have a virus or adware on your system sometimes it gets put into system restore. This will need shut off till you go through my instructions. No since removing it then system restore putting it back in.\nRight click My Computer->Click Properties Click the System Restore Tab then Check Turn off System Restore. Click Ok. This will take a bit but give it time.\n\n- Remove stuff from your startup -\nGoto Start -> Run, type in msconfig then ok. Click the startup tab. Here you will see many things starting up on your system. Many of them icons down by your time are located in this program. The only things that need to be enabled here are anti-virus programs and any system security. Any printer, graphics, messengers, download programs (bearshare and others) do not need to be here. Uncheck everything you do not need, click ok, and you will be asked to reboot. You can here. Note if you dont know what the thing is or what program it is linked to you can either google it or leave it alone.\n\n- Run spyware/adware remover -\nDownload and install Adaware. On install do the update and full system scan. Once done remove all Critical Objects.\n\nDownload and install Spybot Search and Destroy. Run this and do a complete update on everything. Do a system scan and remove everything found.\n\n- Update windows from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com... be sure to download all High Priority.\n\n- Update your virus scanner and do a virus scan.\n\n- Go into Internet Explorer click Tools->Internet Options\nOnce here click settings. Lower the disk space to 10 or so. This is the space allowed for internet files to be cached on your system. Nobody needs 10% of their storage allocated to it. Click Ok\n\n- Remove uneeded programs\nClick Control Panel->Add Remove Programs. Here you can remove what you dont need.\n\n- Defrag your system\nClick Start->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disk Defragmenter. Once here tell it to defrag and it will take some time.\n\n\nYou can, if you like, turn system restore back on by folling the directions above and unchecking that box. I myself never have it on and as a systems administrator of 1400 systems and servers we never have it on at our place of business. because it caches virusus and adware quite a bit.

It honestly depends on the programs you have installed. There are some processes that are a must no matter what additional programs are installed. If you are running Windows XP: here are some definite ones:\nexeplorer.exe\nlsass.exe\nwinlogon.exe\ncsrss.exe\nsmss.exeSystem\nSystem Idle Process\nspoolsv.exe\n   **sprinkled with a few** \nsvchost.exe

Those programs run on sartup. To reduce the number of programs that load when you start your computer go to-> start-> run type msconfig and go to startup and uncheck programs you want to remove from toolbar. Rule of thumb :IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SOMETHING IS, DON'T UNCLECK IT BECAUSE IT COULD BREAK YOUR COMPUTER. ALSO, DO NOT UNCHECK ANTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH YOUR ANTIVIRUS, SPYWARE, AND FIREWALL PROGRAMS. if you are unsure what to uncleck, use google.

Your computer have been infected with a strain of the Sdbot-Pf worm. You can delete this file without a fear. svhost.exe - isn't a system file (not svchost.exe!).

svhosts loads the services part of windows and serves as a generic host. without it it can't load the list of services.\n\ntry starting up and loading in safe mode, (click f8 a whole bunch on boot). type start->run->msconfig\n\ngo to the services tab, organize by manufacturer. Remove any trash that's the services list.\n\ncan try system restore, or use the "repair" option on the original windows cd setup.exe file

Go to task panel by pressing Clrl-Alt-Delete or Ctrl-Alt-Esc.\nClick on processes sub-menu. Sort the things by memory or CPU. Check those process that uses alot of memory or CPu and see if you need them. If you don't need, uninstall them.\n\nYou can search process names using Yahoo! of Google.

Yes,try task manager to see if so many services are running.If you are expert then close those services which are not used by system,or you can do this:\n1.Type prefetch in run dialog and clear some old entries.\n2.Disk cleanup every time you start the machine.\n3.Defragment your disk once a month.\n4.if these doesn't help then can you forward me the details of your startup program by typing msconfig in run dialog and then write down the services and submit here,maybe i can help.

Start-> Run -> type "msconfig" -> "Startup" tab -> UN ckeck the unwanted programs.. I think the most important are the applications of the antivirus and firewall programs you use...\nYes the startup programs consume RAM..

I would have to agree that your either have a virus and/or you have a very serious spyware or trojan that is keeping your computer busy. Run Spybot, Adaware, or other spyware programs if you can. Also Winpatrol and other programs can tell you what starts up when windows boots up. Ctrl +Alt + delete at the same time can bring up Task Manager. This will tell you what processes are running and how much CPU it is using. Maybe you could end those processes that are going crazy. It may be hard to run anti-virus and anti-spyware when it is too busy with the problem. TrendMicro has a free scanner. http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
