yes your right but I was only on line for seconds when I sent the post back

to that group not had chance

to do the same to this one (sorry) but your quite right it was a cock up by

me. Sorry my mistake I went

and checked again after reading the replies and like an idiot I am (blind as

a bat as well ;-)

yes your right it is SVCHOST.EXE and not sychost.exe

 

but the same question is, valid why do I keep getting it??
