Okay Im getting the svchost error as well. When I try to delete it it says that I cant delete it cuz Windows is using it. Ive read some stuff about the svchost error but everyone seems to have either Windows 2000 or Windows XP ... I have Windows 98. Can someone please help me? I ran the HouseCall virus scan that Keefe suggested and it didnt find anything. Please either post a reply here or email me at goddess_cheryl@sbcglobal.net and put "svchost" in subj line. Thanks =)
