    I had 35ish (yeah i rushed the counting thing). Multiple copies of svchost.exe is normal and nothing to worry about, just keep an eye out for slight variations (ie. a process called scvhost.exe probably aint legit).

    What's with all the counting? Task Manager has the number of running processes right in the lower left corner.

    Um, I think maybe I unintentionally led people into that - the 'joke' entry in my poll was "hang on - I'm still scrolling and counting". That probably subconsciously made people think they HAD to Scroll&Count. :o

    My bad - sorry.

    (oh, and 29 right now - I got four Firefox windows, a/v & a/spy running, and isp cxn s/w)
