Urgh before you read this I am about to rant about Microsoft so if you're not interested then leave.

It seems their recent update has caused a few unlucky people problems regarding SVCHOST.exe. I was able to fix it using this fix:

But my PC started freezing and I believe a driver update somehow fixed it...Or at least I believe has fixed it.

Now this blog seems to think the update messed up System Restore:

Now I tried going back and it said it couldn't so that shows you something...

Anyway after spending 4 days updating SP2 and re-installing programs and updates I think I have fixed my PC to a functioning state. It seems my Mcafee is acting up also and I'm not the only one so I am waiting for an answer here:

Wish me luck >_> Thanks MS for updating my PC to Hell.

Edit Oh and feel free to laugh at me for using Dell + Mcafee...(They're good enough for me.)
