7 svchost.exe running at the same time?

[starrkiller]

hi
i was cleaning autostart items, and i noticed that i have 7 svchost.exe processes running at the same time, is that normal?

by the way, what does winlogon.exe do? can i terminate-it?
and alg.exe (2 running), lsass.exe, smss.exe, spoolsv.exe?

maybe i am in the wrong forum, if so feel free to move the thread.

Everything you listed is normal.

The two things you always have to note,are -

1.The exact spelling

2.The exact location

Spyware versions are usually different in one or both of those respects.
