Every time i shut down a notification comes up saying svchost.exe has
performed and ilegal action and needs to close, after about 2 seconds it goes
away. What is wrong?

this is a service that acts as a host for other programs
it is impossible to say what is causing the problem if you do not
provide more details
take a look in the event viewer to see if there is anything there to
give you a hint as where to look

another way is to use another process explorer like the one you can
find at sysinternals
this can list the programs inside the svchost process
