Do you have Visual Studio running?. Or IDA?. Have you tried stopping your anti virus and running the program again to rule out the AV ?

Maybe long ago you installed Softice or DriverStudio or more lately, Syser. Some programs will look for traces of those debuggers on your machine and refuse to run if found. If that is the case, and you paid for the software, then complain loudly. If you didn't pay for the software then you will have to either uninstall the debugger or hide it. There are utilities to hide softice, don't know about syser.

There's a registry entry that tells you what the registered system debugger is, but I can't remember it right now.

No, svchost.exe is a very important part of Windows.

I think your software was protected with "EXECryptor"
("debugger detected - please disable it and restart application" is a typical message for EXECryptor)
Search the registry for entries of Sysinternals "FILEMON" and "REGMON" and delete it.
What software solves this message?
