   I have three Svchost.exe running in "SYSTEM" when I go to my active processes in task manager. Are these viruses or trojans? What can I use to remove these specific executable files?

   No these are valid and required Windows processes as long as they are running from the system32 folder and you will often see as many as 3 or more of these running. I have 5 running right now.
