svchost eating a lot of RAM
Hello everyone,
I've 1.5 gigs of memory and when I open up the Processes window from the Task Manager I see a lot of "svcHost.exe" is running and it's eating a hell amount of RAM. I read it in an article regarding the "svcHost" that it might be because of a virus. I've made a full scan of my system with BitDefender Internet Security 2008 but there seems to be no virus at all. What could be the problem? There are lots of process going on with svchost.exe Please help. Thanks in advance. Regards, Sudatsun |

That's quite normal, not excessive.
