Currently I have 7 svchost.exe processes running. This is normal.
If you wish to investigate these processes further use Process Explorer.
In Process Explorer right click on each example of svchost.exe and
select Properties and the Image tab. You will see that each process has
a different command line. Thus one will have
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k imgsvc, which supports the Windows
Image Acquisition service -see the service tab. Others have different
command lines and support other services. You should understand that the
process PID number changes every time you restart your computer so
quoting a PID number has no meaning to other users.
For further information about Process Explorer see here:

BTW so far as I can see SPAMCOP User has no basis for making the
statement regarding Windows Media Player.
