    OVER 160 RunDll32.exe in TASK MANAGER !

    Have you got lots of Rundll32.exe or svchost.exe processes running, or both?

    On a normal Windows 10 system, you should not have any Rundll32.exe processes running at all. Check your startup apps the see what is causing this:

    • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc together to open Task Manager, click on the Startup Tab and see if there are any entries that are starting under rundll32, if there are, disable them
    • Press WIndows + R keys together to open the run dialog, type msconfig and hit enter. Click on the services tab and check the box marked 'Hide all Microsoft Services'. Then scroll through the list of services looking for rundll32 entries, if you find any,
      uncheck them and reboot

    With regards to svchost, i have noticed a huge increase in the number of these processes since the Creators Upgrade - I have 77 currently running on my system. They all are using 0% processor and HDD and on average about 1MB - 2MB, though this number does
    seem excessive . . .

  4. svchost.exe has about 5+ in task manager?

    Suspicious activity and lots of svchost tasks

    Haha i am aware, Its just that I gained today a lot of tasks related to remote, control and sharing which is very unusual and is the opposite of what i want, i have no intention with communicating with other networks or computers

    This is very unusual for my pc and i usually have the very average amount of svchost tasks.

    I want to indetify why is it happening and i suspect of a malicious attack
