svchost.exe - Application error

[Anirban Ray]

I am running my PC on Windows 2000 professional with
service pack 3.I have SQL Server 2000 desktop installed
and .Net SDK 1.0 installed as additional application.The
PC has 512MB of RAM and a PIV processor.

Whenever I'm connecting to the internet through my dial-up
connection I am receiving the following error message:-

svchost.exe- application error.
The instruction at <referenced memory location> could
not be read.

Then the RPC service on the Windows 2000 Professional
shuts down.No other apllication ,viz, Ms Office etc. runs
and copy and paste functions are not working.

You might have been blasted. Go to www.sophos.com/support/desinfection and
get the removaltool voor blast. After that get ms03-039 from Microsoft.
