Stopped Services in Msconfig - means that a virus is on my system?

In the starting area, went into msconfig, who took me to the Configuration of the system, where I clicked on Services.  During the opening, there was a long list of entries, which most had a 'Running' status, but 76 listings had a marked status "Stopped".

I have an infection in my computer or is it normal for these marked to be shown as "Stopped" if it is not wrong, so what steps should I take to fix this problem?

Thank you.

Mike

Hello

No, it is not a virus.

Services will not run if it is not used

Ex: If you do not use the sharing of connection Internet (ICS) service, the Application Layer Gateway Service and sharing of connection Internet (ICS) can be safely disabled.

A SERVICE IS A SPECIALIZED PROGRAM that performs a function to support other programs. Several services operate at a level very low (by interacting directly with the hardware, for example) and will have to run even if no user is logged on; for this reason, they are often run by the System account (which has high privileges) rather than by ordinary user accounts.
