Sorry guys to trouble you again, I have fixed my update error but now I have another error. If it's not one thing it's another
When I reboot my Pc and it comes back on I get this message 'windows cannot find 'syschost.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search'.

This problem is more annoying than anyhting else.
This is what I have done to try and solve the problem:

Scanned with ZonsAlarm Security Suit....Nothing found.
Scanned with Avg Free Edition....Nothing found.
Scanned with Xoftspy....Nothing found.
Scanned with Ewido AntiSpyware 4.0....Nothing found.
Msconfig/Startup made sure it was not in there....Was not there.
Scanned with HijackThis....Nothing found.
Searched for Syschost in Wizard Search....Nothing found.

I understand that this is a 'Trojan', I think the message is a remaining part of an infection that was not cleaned properly.
The only thought I can come up with is that there must be a Registry Key relating to this message somewhere that has not been deleted.

I'm proberbly wrong on that one, but if anyone has some good ideas as what to do next I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

Is your system fully updated with all windows updates?, and also when was the last time the system last booted without the problem ,and do system restore from the date before it happen.

Bugsey:
My system is now fully updated with all Windows updates.
The last time I booted without a problem was a couple of weeks ago. I can't pinpoint the exact time or what I installed/uninstalled, I'm constantly tying out new software (mainly cleaners), and I have installed/uninstalled a few over the past couple of weeks. It's this that's proberbly caused the problem.

I didn't really want to do a System Restore as yet, I wanted to leave that as a last resort, I'd like to see what's caused the problem first.
If I need to do a System Restore I will, but any alternative suggestions would be excellent
