Hi MLCgames, and welcome to Malwarebytes Forum

A session of svchost.exe could be running a single Service, or a grouping of Services. You are probably looking at a session of svchost that's running more than one Service. I also at times show a session of svchost that doesn't show the command line, it's not an indication of malware. You can read more about svchost here:

Please let me know if you if you consider this solved, or if you would prefer to check your system. If you would like to do that, please read I'm infected - What do I do now? and post a FRST log to start the process.
