Is all those svchost.exe's a good thing? Probably not, I don't know. Been trying to do some research on it but it's just a lot of mumbo jumbo I don't understand. Can someone just explain what these are to me in the simplest terms possible please? Also, if there any other things in there that aren't welcome then could I have some help with that too please?

Cheers

Here's a direct link to the image if that is too big and has to be removed

Nice background

It's not usually a bad thing. Just say when you've tried to open an .exe or do something several times, and it hasn't worked for whatever reason.

They should disappear on reboot, or you can end them and any ones still needed will start up again.

actually there may be two kinds of that name that runs on your pc, maybe you cannot easily see it.

sometimes if you look at the processes your pc is executing you can see either SVCHOST.EXE or SCVHOST(S).EXE..

me too sometimes get confused about these processes but if you can check out some AV sites they would probably tell you that one of those exe's is a virus.
