svchost.exe error

[ziad dodin]

although I have Win200 + sp4, IE6.0 + sp1 but i still have
this serious problem: while I am surfing the web, suddenly
an unknown error occurs saying "eror: memory location
xxxx.xx can not be read and svchost.exe has generated an
error and will be closed, you need to restart your
computer"; I can continue to browse, but the connection
hangs and in most of the time I can not disconnect unless
I restart. I searched the knowledge base for all text
containing svchost.exe but did not find mycase; all
answers say it is in service pack 4 which I have installed.

please help and thanks

Do you get the same message when you click 'create mail'
in Outlook/Outlook Express?

I think its a worm myself.
