Apparently there is an update for fairly new HP printers that causes svchost
issues. Maybe check that out.
 
Check the spelling. Rick reported a "scvhost" error. There are usually
many instances of "svchost" running, and they're normal XP processes, but
"scvhost" -- note the "c" and "v" have swapped places -- could likely be
malware/spyware. A place to find out about the various processes is:
www.processlibrary.com which I believe is where I found out about the
svc-scv difference.

I'm not an expert, just a fairly competent user, and a few days ago out of
curiosity I was surfing for an explanation of what the legitimate svchosts
were doing. When I saw others in this thread either missing the c-v switch,
or perhaps assuming it was a typo,
I thought I should speak up.
