Fernand,

While this forum is not a general purpose Windows help desk, what you are asking is very simple, SVCHOST run as many instances as the number of services that are loaded require. There is nothing abnormal in itself to have multiple copies of it loaded. If you are performing security checking for things like root kits, try some of the AV and anti-trojan companies to see if they can help you.
