coknuck Posted March 9, 2009 CID Share Posted March 9, 2009 svchost.exe should not be disabled, required for essential applications to work properly. Windows errors related to svchost.exe? The file svchost.exe is the Generic Host Process for Win32 Services used for administering 16-bit-based dynamically linked library files (DLL files) including other supplementary support applications. As operating systems became more complex Microsoft decided to run more software functionality from a dynamic link library (DLL) interface. However DLLs are unable to launch themselves and require at least one executable program, i.e. svchost.exe, is needed to bridge between the library process and the operating system. Through the solitary file svchost.exe, the DLLs efficiently contain and dispense Win32 services as well as neatly facilitate the execution of svchost.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did all the songs get there via purchase or via a file sharing program that came with malware? http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=mncol&cdlPid=10896905 http://www.superantispyware.com/ http://lavasoft.com/ http://safer-networking.org/en/index.html http://www.zonealarm.com/store/content/home.jsp http://www.filehippo.com/download_zonealarm_free/ http://avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
