Hi, I am a novice in computers and since few days ago I can not get to my e-mails. While waiting, the message: "svchost.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows" pops up. Can you please let me know what I have to do, in detailes.
Thank you,

Sounds exactly like at least one of the recient viruses got to your comp.

Be sure and go to "Windows update" and get the latest patches.(or it can return). and run latest virus scanners with updates.

try this small scanner for seeing if you have a recient virus.

Here is another link you can go to as well, here you can download and run a program called
" fixblast.exe " it will scan for the W32.Blaster.worm virus specifically and remove it.

OK..I've had the same svchost.exe error message. I have the BlackIce firewall installed, yet my antivirus did, in fact, find the Lovesan (sp?) virus on my computer and deleted it. That's when all these problems of not being able to link, cut and paste, or even get into my hotmail account started. Now, it's giving me more error messages, some "Dr.Watson" one, and a YPager error message that shuts down my messenger. I can't even get into my Word program, and all of my history gets deleted every time I restart, which is 20 times a day just to get it to function 1/2 way decent! HELP! If someone can help me out in non-computereze, I'd appreciate it so much! I don't understand the tech talk..! Thanks so much!
