When XP file sharing works in Safe mode with networking and doesn't
work in normal mode, the problem is probably caused by an incorrectly
configured firewall program. Note that some antivirus programs, such
as Norton Antivirus 2005/2006 and PC-cillin, contain firewall
components.
C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe is an essential Windows XP system
file. A file by the same name in any other folder is suspicious and
could contain a virus.
