Unable to find SSVCHOST

Hi,

Error message after loading Windows XP SP2: "Unable to find SSVCHOST"

What does this mean?

Do I need to do a repair-install of XP?

Actually you have a trojan on your system . I would recommend a full online scan here.

Then reboot aftrewards.

Please download HijackThis to your desktop.. http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en...HJTInstall.exe
Alternate link
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com...HJTInstall.exe
This program will help us determine if there are any spyware/malware on your computer. Double-click on the file you just downloaded.
Click on the "Unzip" button to install. It will by default install to the directory - C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis
Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
Should it not open, navigate to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis and double click on HijackThis.exe
1. If it gives you an intro screen, just choose 'Do a system scan and save a logfile'.
2. If you don't get the intro screen, just hit Scan and then click on Save log.
3. Post the hijackthis.log file here. Do not fix anything in HijackThis since they may be harmless.
