hey all,
I just downloaded an new app called process explorer and have found
that I have the svchost.exe win32 service active on my computer five
times. Is this normal or what? Surely I can't need it running five
times at once?! Any hel greatly appreciated!
 
Hi,
Yes it's normal. Number of this processes depends on services launched in
system. You can check it in services.msc and turn off some unneeded services
if any.
