Task Manager

[Guest elenbe]

I've noticed that in the processes tab svchost.exe is in multiple times.

Is that normal?

Each instance of svchost.exe process seen in the Task Manager hosts a group

of services. Multiple instances of Svchost.exe can run at the same time.

Svchost.exe resides in Windows\system32 folder, otherwise it could be a

virus, spyware, worm or trojan. To see the list of services hosted by each

instance of svchost.exe, do this: (for Windows XP Professional Edition)

 

Click Start, Run and type CMD

 

Type: tasklist /svc

 

To see the list on a text file:

Type tasklist /svc >c:\tasklist.txt

Look for tasklist.txt file on your c:\ drive

 

The tasklist.txt will contain the list of Processes and the Services running

under each Process.

 

For home edition download tasklist.exe at

http://www.computerhope.com/download/winxp.htm . Its the middle download.

Copy the file to Windows\system32 folder
