why are all services named 'svshost.exe', gee, I hope i don't get a
virus and they name is 'svchost.exe'
 
From Ramesh's web site: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/svchost.htm
Also: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314056

To find out more about Svchost.exe entries try Process Explorer:
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html

Once you have Process Explorer installed and running:
Click/Expand the Svchost.exe process that you are interest in.
Then highlight one of the process listed under Svchost, right click and from
the options listed select: google
This should display what out there on the web about that process.

Click to expand...

Are you sure about the spelling? The legitimate windows file is
svchost.exe not svshost.exe. If yours was a spelling error, know that
it is normal to have several svchost.exe instances running.
