OT: What Is?

[Ruatha]

They're required services.
When you Ctrl+alt+delete it should mention something more under username, but mostly it just says "system".
There was one place I could see what each was for but I've forgotten where now...
Somewhere in admin tools I think in the control panel..must check..

Edit:
Here is all you need to know:

Edit2:
To see what each "svchost" is start a dos window and type :
tasklist /svc

Edit3:
Svchost.exe should only be located in your system32 directory under the windows main directory, if it's not you should be able to safely delete it.
