I keep getting this message on startup of my laptop.?

svchost is a generic service host for windows and its actually c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe

some tojans, spyware, adware apps use this service or mask as this service.

I would run a scan for viruses, adware, spyware etc

You may need to load into msconfig and look in the startup options and turn off anything that is not requried. This SHOULD stop the errors if it was to do with the virus... i had a svchost virus a good few years ago while i was in school. makes the computer run very very slow on the internet. to get itno msconfig start>run>type msconfig>startup then untick the items you do not want...all you need to keep in here, is you security any graphics and network software you may have.. if the computer is doing things you dont want, load back into msconfig and turn the process back on. If you do not know what a process is, bang it in to google and mostly it will tell you what it is and what it does. ---------------- oh and for the loving dude at the top, an svchost virus will open loads of the svchost process effectivy grinding network use to a halt. If AV software has removed the the registry will still be trying to startup the two viruses. Hence the error message

think u deleted some important files in windows

u need to install ur windows again in order to make these messages disappear

sounds like you might need to start up in safe mode and repair your system files. (have your xp installation disk handy ) :D good luck
