| 652242 | 2008-03-23 22:16:00 | Windows 2000. I have 2 entries under task manager - processes. Is something wrong here? With the following PID: 732 468 One is about 9MB and the other is 5MB. When Windows starts up .. the HDD rumbles a lot .. and via processes one of them has gone up to like 30MB .... then the figure drops and the HDD stops rumbling.... Anything unusual .. Thanks |

| 652243 | 2008-03-23 22:19:00 | Correction I have 3x, the other is 14MB. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 652244 | 2008-03-23 22:23:00 | Well, I got 6 cost me around 63MB memory :) Usually, it is normal to have more than one svhost.exe processes running depends on what kind of or how many system service running. |

| 652245 | 2008-03-23 22:43:00 | Is it svhost, or svchost.exe?? Theres a diff, svhost is a worm (ie: Mydoom uses it / malware), svchost is a windows file |

| 652248 | 2008-03-24 01:57:00 | Thanks its svcghost.exe so its fine .. have done spybot checks.. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 652249 | 2008-03-24 02:10:00 | Thanks its svcghost.exe so its fine .. have done spybot checks.. Spybot isnt a virus scanner, get a virus scanner That file is either a backdoor trojan, or an IRC worm / trojan. If the name of the file isn't svchost.exe, it isnt safe Kill it in task manager |

| 652250 | 2008-03-24 02:40:00 | Oops. It is svchost.exe without the G :D I'll do a virus scan .. with AVG. |
