svchost.exe

[IgNiTE]

hey there,
I know there is few fourms out the on this files. But It wasnt quite helpful.
My problem is this svchost.exe file Now shows up in my taskmanaher like 5 to
6 places.

2 files for - NETWORK SAERVICES
1 file for - LOCAL SERVICE
3 files for - SYSTEM
What I mean is svchost.exe shows up in my TASKMANAGER 6 times. So its
running in background or sumthing.
How I do find out which is legit and which one is not. So we can get rid of
it.

Any input is appriciated.

Thanks.

Some services are dependent upon svchost. You can see what service is
dependent upon each instance of a svchost Process by using Process Explorer:
