I have a Win XP Dell E510 and using McAfee Security Suite 10. I am getting a warning popup about 4-6 times a day with the following message:

If you did not expect this change, McAfee recommends that you block it. If you expected this change, allow
I have tried both blocking & allowing, and even checked the box that says don't show this message again but it keeps coming back

Another possibility is that svchost has become corrupted. You can generally fix it by going to a command prompt and typing:
SFC /SCANNOW
Let it run and reboot at the end. It may fix your problem.
