Help! My computer is sooo-oo slow and freezes up. I just freed up alot of space by deleting files and I ran the defragmenting operation. I had to run a CHKDSK/f , as was schedulled by my computer's system. My anti-virus application ran its daily scan and found a "virus", yet it was not exactly a virus, but some kind of system gliche. I did some research and found out about a problem called the "svchost/windows update syndrome". What exactly is this and is my computer affected by it? What can I do about it?
