Re: Downloading updates in advance

1) You may need to go to the Windows Update Site first and install the most
recent version of Windows Update Software* (accept the download before a
regular update search) and after that you can install updates by any means.

*Check in C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files and check update software;
Validation tool and Update Class, activex controls are necessary to update
your system.

2) svchost is a normal system process

3) and Generetic Host Process may be a problem with a scanner or printer
driver. updated drivers will solve it.

4) How to disable or remove Messenger (msmsgs.exe)
