Wow I really appreciate the Avast community reaching out to help.Once again sorry Mikaelrask.I had already cranked out afresh post.Never thuoght to even come back to here. When my laptop boots up I am getting a dreaded SvcHost Application Error-the system still works,but then a window opens to reveal my system 32 folders.Like I said it still runs .I tried the links some folks had posted,but to no avail.In case anyone is wondering I have Dell Latd620,XP PRO,PSI Secunia,AVAST 7 Free,WinPatrol,SAS,Online Armor, and COMODO AutoRun Analyzer. Thanks
