svchost.exe

[joe]

Periodically I receive error message "svchost.exe has
generated errors and will shut down. You will have to
restart the program."
Many functions cease after this time. e.g. cut and paste,
click on website hotspots etc. Does anyone know what this
is and how can it be fixed?
Thanks

This can be caused by virus activity. Get your PC checked by one of the free
stinger downloads or MS removal tools. Then make sure you're up to date with
your Windows Update patches.
