svchost.exe 1032 RpcSs
svchost.exe 1164 AudioSrv, BITS, CryptSvc, Dhcp, EventSystem,
lanmanserver, lanmanworkstation, Netman,
RasAuto, RasMan, Schedule, seclogon, SENS,
SharedAccess, ShellHWDetection, TapiSrv,
winmgmt, wuauserv
svchost.exe 1184 Dnscache
svchost.exe 1252 Alerter, LmHosts, WebClient
svchost.exe 2196 stisvc

some of them look suspicous do they look alright to you?

If you think they look suspect then gooogle the process they are hosting and run some spyware/virus/ trojan scans.
Most of yours are normal or are invoked by tools you are running.

How about the old phrase used by musos looking for other musos: "No time wasters, no wine tasters!"
