Hi, my pc is feeling sad

PC generally running very badly so there are probably many problems - but problems which i can identify are that i receive the error message: host process for windows services stopped working...

I tried to find directions online to fix this and the instructions suggested i look at the event viewer to see which program may be causing the problem. However when trying to open the Event Viewer (or any other app in the admin tools area of the control panel) i get the error message: C:\Windows\System23\eventvwr.msc The pipe state is invalid

I also have a reappearing empty folder which appears on my desktop after most system bootups. I delete it (have used recycle bin and MSDos) but it regularly comes back! (a few months ago Broni worked on this problem with me and deemed it not to be a virus issue and pointed me in this forum direction.)

Can anyone help me with these issues please?

Thanks
