SVCHost Error

[Jay]

After about ten Mins Surfing I receive a SVCHost.exe error
msg. Computer still runs ok but when I go into OE6 I
can't send mail as it gives me a error saying I don't have
enough memory.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I had the same problem last week. Are you running
antivirus with current definitions. I wasn't. Scan
picked up the Blaster Virus. Got rid of it and then I
installed win2000 Service Pack 4. Svchost. has generated
errors blah blah blah hasn't come around again.

I just reformatted my computer and had that exact problem
and did an hours worth of searches before I finally found
the problem being apparently the blaster worm. You can
get the fix for this right on microsofts website just
follow the instructions and make sure you have the needed
files already updated to do so and it should fix it, it
did for me and I got the stupid virus like 2 minutes after
being online myself so I'm almost convinced it's
inevitable since it's like the 3rd time I've had to redo
windows and got it when I first signed on every time lol.

Anyways hope that helps, go to windows download site not
the update site, the downloads page and there is a link
there for it. Good luck it's an easy fix so no worries
