svchost
Svchost is a windows process, however I recently noticed that I have 6 different instances of it running at once. I read that it can be a virus, so I'm wondering if some of those instances are a virus, or if window is just running multiple versions for some reason?
I have the latest version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus with the latest definitions, and Kaspersky is top rated. So I kinda doubt they're viruses, but any insight would be helpful. Here is how they show up in Task Manager-- |

It is normal to have multiple versions. You can search for it on your computer. It should show up in the System32 folder in the Windows directory. Anywhere else is not the genuine article.

Often, it's Scvhost when it's a baddy. Easy to overlook...
