Every once in a while I get this error that says "The application svchost.exe coud not be read" after I get this error many things on my computer are disabled. I'm 100% sure this is not a virus because I've done 2 virus scans and the application when running barely uses any memory or CPU power. I don't know why this happens but I do know that the error comes up when I get and try to install updates for my computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Virus scanners suck; they get at most 75% of any known virii, most get only ~40%

Try replacing svchost.exe with one from a windows CD or service pack. Or install linux Wink

I believe Microsoft has released a fix for that program because many people were getting that error. Try searching it on the Microsoft website and you should find it.
