sychost.exe

[budhop]

After boot up End-It-All reports I have 3 copies of sychost.exe running
concurrently. Virus scan shows no problem so I assume all are safe copies of
Windows software. Can I delete two of these??????

Thx in advance,

Budhop

Did you make a typo? Do you mean that you have 3 copies of Svchost.exe?
You cannot delete ANY of these! See:

No, do *not* delete them. Having multiple copies of svchost.exe running is
normal, and each is different and necessary. Read here for more information:

Hi Budhop,
It is normal to find more than 1 Svchost.exe runing processors in your Task
Manager, but the thing to look at is if any one of this processor is Runing
Heigh say from 60 to 90% without any runing Applications even if with runing
applications should n't exceed 10-20% percent.
I wonder why you ask about them specialy not others!, did you notice drop in
your System speed and things start to behave badly recently?.
If you have any concern do a scan for both Malwares/Viruses to be sure your
system clean.
HTH.
Please elt us know.

It's perfectly normal to have several instances of Svchost.exe
running simultaneously.

right heres what my machiene is doing for me... after booting up to the
desktop i open my task manager. i see several svchost.exe processes. from
what i understand so far this is normal. My laptop is clean and checked but
there is still that one svchost.exe running at 95-100%!!! this is outrageous
because the laptop which is new just grinds to a halt. i decided to be brave
and end the process only to have lost the usage of Windows Media
player(resumes on restart).
It then goes onto wreck my task bar and display the following error:

"Microsoft Visual C++ runtime Library" (title bar)
"Runtime Error!
program: c\PROGRA~1\MESSEN~1\Msmsgs.exe
R6025.
After checking through microsoft's site for help i found nothing, Does this
my problem is unigue? or just a case of software troubles? Who is to blame?
Me or microsoft?
-pure virtual function call"
