Hello
Can anyone tell me what svchost.exe is for and why a little window keeps
popping up saying it failed to do something and the program will have to
close??
2 friends have this. One we rectified it by installing upgrading from 2000
to XP
but the other friend hasn't got the space for XP .
Any ideas?

Very often the result of a virus, mblaster or one of the varients.
You have a Firewall?
You have current AV app?
You have critical updates?
Tried running the online virus scan at eg www.symantec.com
