svchost runs DLL's so it could take up some memory, but there's a chance it may be a virus.

It probably isn't a virus but you can do a scan if you want to.

I doubt that it'd be a virus being I installed this OS fresh just last week

Run a virus scan anyways just to be safe.

the more ram installed the system will find use for it.

But 2.9GB of the 3 at idle isn't normal

Turns out Windows Updater was causing all the problems, but for now it seems fixed
