svchost.exe

[cornelia]

Just wondering if anyone knows what program this is.
The last 2 weeks, I keep getting an error message saying, svchost.exe has generated errors & program will be closed by windows, which means I have to reboot my computer.

Once I know what the program is, then I can delete it off my system.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Google it. There is a myriad of sites that explain this sort of stuff. Hope it helps.

svchost is system file that acts as a hosting environment for DLL's of other programs. If you have problems with it, then you are almost certainly having problems with some other application.

The recent MS.Blaster worm can cause problems which leads to errors with svchost. I had a similar problem recently and applying the microsoft patch fixed it.
