I know this this a system file for DLLs, but I shouldn't have, like, 5 or 6 of them running, should I? If not then is there any know cause to this (Prolly virus, ill run a scan, but id like to know if there are any other possible causes.)
 
Yes, you should have multiple instances of svchost. I have 12 of them running!! There should be one that is using alot of memory b/c that one is for the aero interface. If you cancel it, your theme should change to basic.
 
A way to find out if its a virus or not is to right click on each instance and click "Open File Location". For each one you do that to it should direct you to the same file every time and highlight it. If it doesnt direct you to the same file then, most likely it is a virus.
 
its ok if its only eat your memory, mine eat the whole cpu for 3 minute or so while loading windows. its so troublesome but seem cant get it right
