[Larry]

Hi Recently I discovered that their is many processes with the same name
running in task manager proccesses. I am not pc smart, so I don't know if
these should be there or not.
I am running Xp Pro sp 3. The file that is listed 5 times is svchost.exe
.. I could use some help with this. Larry

It is normal for multiple instances of svchost.exe to be running. See:

Svchost.exe in Windows XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314056/EN-US/
and http://windowsxp.mvps.org/svchost.htm
