No, as the article states, the solution is to rid yourself of the virus you have most likely contracted.

You didn't say what version of WIndows you're running, so I'll assume XP. If Windows Update is causing you that kind of grief, then I'd suspect your Windows install has become damaged. I'd run the System File Checker utility to see if anything gets repaired. I mention that utility here: http://ask-leo.com/archives/000053.html
Good luck!

I am running Windows 2000 Professional with Internet Explorer 6. I have installed Windows Service Pack 3. I am getting the error "Svchost.exe has generated errors . You will need to restart the program". After this I can't open a link in a new window. I can't see contents of the WINNT folder. I can't copy paste anything. Everything becomes ok if I restart. I have scanned with AVG Antivirus but it detects no virus. What Shall I do to solve this problem?

I would try the following: ensure that that the virus signatures are the latest possible, run the system file checker, run windows update and install SP4. It definitely sounds exactly like the virus symptoms.
