Default svchost.exe query

Hi all
Hope someone can help. Laptop running a bit strange last 2 days. When having a look at the task manager in processes the file SVCHOST.EXE occurs 5 times???
Once in LOCAL SERVICE
Twice in NETWORK SERVICE
Twice in SYSTEM

Is this right? Seems a bit strange. All help appreciated.
Cheers
Alasdair

Hi Alasdair
svchost although a pukka system file( and can be used multiple times) was used by a virus a while back now ( bout a year ago IIRC), I cant remember which one of the top of the grey stuff what it did if u had the virus.
But just having multiple svc's running doesnt constitute having a problem.

As long as your windows updates, up to date with AV you will be covered for that particular one anyway.
