Rampant Processes

[darkforce898]

Info:
64-Bit Processor
Windows XP 64 Bit Edition


During normal operations of my computer, when I look at the Task Manager, I notice that I have multiple copies of multiple processes running. Some of them are have a *32 after the second process (or both); which I am guessing is the 32 Bit compliant version of that process. But some of them are exactly the same.

Two with *32:
Apache.exe
CLI.exe

Doubled, On With *32:
ctfmon.exe
rundll.exe

Six Occurances:
svchost.exe

The memory usage of these processes ranges from 3,000 K to 50,000 K. I have looked into why my svchost.exe would multiple so many times, but I have been unable to find a solution. It is not located anyplace on my computer other than:
C:\WINDOWS\system32
and
C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64
so i do not think it is a virus or spyware. I have run avast! and trendmicro and do not get any hits.

On thing i do notice though is that when i go into command promt and type "tasklist /svc" i get "ERROR: An internal error occurred."

I can post a HiJack This log if needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

apache- a downloaded program that makes web servers(you may end it if you like)
CLI- an ATI display program( you may end one if you like, probably the non-32)
CTFmon-Windows XP(DO NOT END, nothing will happen if you do, but this may hurt the computer later)
rundll- i have no clue, but its prolly needed with that name
svchost- a network host(if you close, your plaing russian roulette, one of them will shut off your compy)

so it would probebly be safe to stop apache from starting?

my real question is though why they are doubled...
