To run dll files you need exe files which in this case is SVCHOST.exe. Whenever a service is run a SVCHOST.exe will run. Terminate unnecessary services.

like for example i have avg and comodo running right now(antivirus)
internet download manager is downloading instantbird. i am chatting with my gf on qip. and i am also browsing via opera and kmeleon cause fast browsers.

now tell me which one to end, should i stop viewing IBF??
Should i stop downloading a good softy??
or should i say to my GF go baby i have no time for you....


i have just these processes and i see atleast 12 processing sucking the compy's life.. :sad:

If you are using all processes running then don't do anything.

what happened when there were just .exe files and not many dlls??

Not possible according to me.

you have to help me luke before it makes the proccesser chips burning like ashes.. :sad:

Svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) in Windows Operating System.

The Svchost.exe file is located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder. At startup, Svchost.exe checks the services part of the registry to construct a list of services that it must load. Multiple instances of Svchost.exe can run at the same time. Each Svchost.exe session can contain a grouping of services. Therefore, separate services can run, depending on how and where Svchost.exe is started. This grouping of services allows for better control and easier debugging for Windows.

Because it is a common system process, malware often uses a process name of svchost.exe to disguise itself. You can run a good antivirus scan to determine if the System is infected. As far as I understand from the image you have provided, there is nothing to worry about.

Leave the svchost.exe processes running because they are required for the normal functioning of the Windows.
