  Well the last svchost.exe was a owner and it was a keylogger. Spybot got rid of it for me but is it normal to have all these svchost.exe open? i had end tasked two others bu damn that's a lot. Could it be a trojan or spything of some sort?
  
  

  No worries Riki, those are service hosts, much like mini servers on your computer. They allow programs to run on your computer that take a little extra umph, a keylogger is something that would need a host which is why you would have had one. Most computers come fresh from the factory with at least a few hosts, more are added as you install new programs. You can end them if you want but don't be surprised if eventually one of your programs won't run.
