I have 6 SVChost.exe running in my taskbar processes (ctrl, alt, del then processes tab)?

Question

How can I check each ones file path? Only one should be running, but how do I know which ones to delete?

Ok, I did a search for that file name, and read that if it is anywhere other than in c:/windows/system32 than it shouldnt be there. If it is not in that directory, should I delete the file from the search box?

Answer 1

It is quite normal to have multiple svchost.exe processes running. Don't delete any!

Answer 2

svchost.exe is a system process belonging to the Microsoft Windows Operating System which handles processes executed from DLLs. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.
