I've got 8 svchost.exe's running atm.

If you have Windows Defender, you can go to Tools>Software Explorer, then select Currently running programs. There you will see the svchosts listed ("Microsoft Generic Host Process for Win32 Services"), and it tells what each one does. Mostly they appear to be Services related to networking/internet.

I use Process Explorer. Its a great little free prog that allows you to track

every running service, see which dll's each has loaded, security rights etc.

You can download it here:
