Directly related to virus problems this message appears in a window with a "dos command" (?) window thats all black behind it. I have done registry cleanings, virus scans yet this one seems to linger.

Windows cannot find 'c:/windows/system/programas/svchost.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search.

After searching for it the file shows up in the System32 folder. When I look in the location that it claims is missing, there are strange files including one that say 'svchost.ex0'

I have tried everything to get rid of these and I beleive the files in that 'programas' folder are viruses. I really need some help here. I've backed everything up but I don't want to reinstall windows, Ive also noticed more than half of the programs that load in my taskbar are no longer loading. Can someone please help me out here??

Did you ever find the answer to your question? I have the same issue?

Thanks
