What is wrong with this svchost??

It is not a very big problem but I would like to solve it because I feel like it lowers my computer and it keeps cpu fan making a lot of noise.

lanmanworkstation, Netman. Did you install some other protocols?

Bob

Sorry but what is a protocol and how should I have installed it?

Let's try just TASKLIST and we may have to move to a HIJACKTHIS log, but for now just TASKLIST.

Uninstall your firewall. Don't go without and connect to the internet. I only see the usual here so far. Let me write your tasklist does look quite normal for all those protection softwares.

Here's why. To protect your machine the SIGNATURES of the pests are growing fast. Those have to be in memory for fast access. Therefore it is not unusual to find firewalls, antivirus and such to soak a machine of a few hundred megabytes of RAM.
