scvhost not svchost

[Big mark]

my computer is having major problems when opening S3CURITY programmes. it
seems to me that i have a V1RUS and it will not let my type in or use
programmes that contain certain words (such as the ones in capitals). This
means that i cannot open V1RUS SCANN3RS such as a famous three-letter word
one, (---) and another famous one that rhymes with forton. you get the
picture. i need help desperately. It does not even let me look in IE for
online V1RUS SCANN3RS.
I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THIS
Please Help

P.S. btw, it does not let me hit CTRl ALT DEL either. it opens, and then
closes straight away.

You might need to start in Safe Mode to run your anti-virus software.

Some viruses like to ensconce themselves in areas Windows protects while
using them. Safe mode will prevent those application accesses, and hence
unprotect the viruses.
