3-5 i guess its normal. as long as ur svchost is located in windows/system32 if not its certainly a virus..

svchost exe is used from programms using DLLs.

The more programms you use, the more svchost entries in the taskmanager can pop up.

 

The Svchost.exe file is located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder. At startup, Svchost.exe checks the services part of the registry to construct a list of services that it must load. Multiple instances of Svchost.exe can run at the same time. Each Svchost.exe session can contain a grouping of services. Therefore, separate services can run, depending on how and where Svchost.exe is started. This grouping of services permits better control and easier debugging.
