Is it normal to be running 17 proccesses of this same thing all at once? (OS & Specs as in profile info)

[Broni]

17 seems little bit excesive.

Download Process Explorer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
Unzip ProcessExplorer.zip, and double click on procexp.exe to run the program.
Click on View > Select Colunms.
In addition to already pre-selected options, make sure, the Command Line is selected, and press OK.
Go File>Save As, and save the report as Procexp.txt.
Attach the file to your next reply.

Killed one through removal of un-needed services. How do add the text file to a forum post? (file has been formated so that its not all jumbled)

Click on "Additional Options..." under reply window, you'll see "Attach:" option.

System Idle Process is listed at 98.37%, so you're perfectly fine.

Yeah but I'm still wasting valuable system memory 163Mb

I didn't see svchost.exe running any suspicious sub-processes.
How much RAM do you have?

I know that nothing suspicious is going on, I'm just trying to clear unnecessary processes'

[Broni]

It's the best to leave processes alone.
