February 25, 200719 yr When I go to task manager I see like 5 svchost.exe is there suppose to be this many? I know they are for different things but couldn't it just be 1 svchost?
February 25, 200719 yr No, that wouldn't be safe. Run "tasklist /svc" in a command prompt to see which services are loaded inside each svchost.exe instance. And yes, 5 is quite normal.
February 25, 200719 yr As cluberti said, that's normal. You only have to worry if it says scvhost.exe, because that's a virus.
February 27, 200719 yr Author C:\Documents and Settings\holenone>tasklist /svc'tasklist' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
February 27, 200719 yr tasklist only works on XP. Have you got 2000?svchost is fine. It's a generic process that runs various dlls or executables as determined within various parts of the registry. If you want to see what's running within svchost on a non-XP platform you can try psservice.exe (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/psservice.mspx), but unless you've got problems I wouldn't bother.

February 28, 200719 yr Do you use nLite? tasklist works for me.The other explanation is that your path is messed up.
