Is this normal?  Looking through the task manager I have 14(FOURTEEN!!) svchost.exe's running, wtf?

Yep its totally normal. A svchost.exe is spawned for services on windows (some times some are bundled into one.. others spawn their own)

If you want grab process explorer to take a look at what each svchost.exe is being used by (hover over the svchost.exe or double click and go to the "services" tab).
