I don't know what happened, but my computer has a lot of svchost in the processes. They are user Local and network. It is unusual because I check the process quite a lot. How I can clear them?
I have searched all over the Internet but all of them said its normal but in my case its not normal for me.
Its not slowing my computer a lot, but still annoys me.

Like 3 weeks ago. I stopped using my computer 3 weeks ago because I'm using another computer to play games.
I think maybe because I ticked "Show processes from all user"?

How many users are there on the computer? (un-check that and see how many are there)
If you send me a private message I can help you farther.

Multiple svchost is legit. Their used to hold up your computer. The idiot telling you that there is only one, then he is incorrect. It's perfectly normal.

Brandenx781 is correct although not quite how i would have worded it.
svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries.
They are simply separate legit processes used by windows.
That said if i was to place a rat on someone i would be using names similar to that in the hope of the user not detecting it.
But its entirely normal so dont worry about it.
If there is no AV activity or weird firewall activity then all is good.
