As u can see u see ALLOT of svghost.exe's, when i try to end this .exe's i get a windows pop-up saying that my PC will shut down.
And u can see the IEXPLORE.exe's, i cant remove those 2, when i do a new one will pop up.

Someone please help me, i think this i one of the main reason's my PC is asking really slow.

Thanks already.

I think I can safely say that svchost.exe is not a virus

lol, but why are there so many of them.
And what about the IEEXPLORE thingy's?

More than one...likely to be virused. That exe can contain many viruses inside it.

I have many svchost.exe's too, and I'm pretty sure they aren't virus...

10+ usually means you're infected. They are only used to load up stuff when you boot your pc, but sometimes people can manage to put nasty things inside them.

Limewire and Firefox are using a dumb amount of process, same with me... Firefox uses so much it's ridiculous

Btw, download Ad-Aware

Svchost = Good, dont try ending them lol, a normal virus scanner will get rid of any harmful replicated ones.

IExplorer = Internet Explorer, dont open that if you dont need to.

Limewire = Limewire, shut that down if you arent using it as well.

Everything else seems to be normal, just run some spyware checks with Ad-aware personal, some types of spyware can really make your computer slow.

A virus would be doing something other than sitting there, just do a virus scan, delete any that come up, and then do a spyware scan

svchost is NOT a virus

"Svchost.exe" (Generic Host Process for Win32 Services) is an integral part of Windows OS. It cannot be stopped or restarted manually. It manages 32-bit DLLs and other services. At startup, Svchost.exe checks the services portion of the registry to construct a list of services that it needs to load. In normal conditions multiple instances of Svchost.exe run at the same time. Each Svchost.exe session can contain a grouping of services, so that separate services can be run depending on how and where Svchost.exe is started. This allows for better control and debugging.
