Which version of Windows you are using? Is your Windows up-to-date?

i m using windows xp sp 2

maybe it is not updated.
i'm afraid 2 do live update

no option is working for me.
any other alternative??

Hmmm.... There can be various reasons for this svchost.exe error. Can you try installing these security updates:

Yup, these patches are available in the lins given in my post above..

installing SP3 helped me....

Well i had also encountered this problem a long ago.... which i found out was due to some virus( it was Jeefo32 or some other...) So download antivirus updates and try scanning your computer(preferably in boot mode, if supported by AV )
Hope it helps!
