yeah, it's svchost.. how can i fix it?

Its normal to have multiple instances of svchost.exe running as a normal part of windows (essential, in fact). The problem is there is also unwanted spyware using the same name. I think you have to find out where the file is in your file structure to know if it's genuine or not.

Suggest you don't try to remove these apps unless you have had quality advice about it.

What I really dislike about the multiple instances of svchost.exe is that there is no indication what they are involved with. It's not surprising people wonder what on earth is going on. It would be nice if after the process name in Task Manager, there was an additional description of what each instance of svchost.exe was associated with.
