It more or less dehabilitied my laptop last Fall. The issue could be due to a million reasons: virus, simple maintenance or trojan. This site might help for svchost.exe specifically: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/wind...-is-it-running/ A good source of the best freeware: http://majorgeeks.com/page.php?id=20 Hope I helped! ~ Anti
