Can you be a little bit more specific please? Windows version? Exact error message? Laptop or PC? Access denied to what?

It is common for the Administrative Events console to have thousands of error listings. Windows encounters lots of minor issues that it deals with automatically. It logs these minor issues to help administrators pinpoint the errors that may be responsible for major issues. Unless you are having problems, these events can be ignored.

VSS is the Volume Snapshot Service, also known as the Volume Shadow Copy Service. The service is related to System Restore and Windows backup. It takes a "snapshot" of your system files at at a certain state to be used at a later date if necessary. Unless Windows Backup or System Restore is not working properly, I wouldn't worry about it.

Under no circumstances should you pay anyone to fix this, especially if your computer is working. It is quite likely that their "fix" will amount to merely deleting the event logs and telling you that it has been "fixed."

If you post the exact message that appears on the General tab in the events console, it would help to diagnose your particular problem.
