svchost.exe error in dial-up connection

[Jay Wooley]

Can anyone help? When ever I dial-up to the internet,
after a few minutes, I get a message that states
that "svchost.exe has generated errors and muct be
restarted" after that, I have many minor problems with my
pc. It won't open up new windows, I can't place anything
on the clipboard, and other problems. I have already
prefromed the registry changes recomended by the windows
help page, but it didn't help. (e-mail address removed)

Please go to McAfee (http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/mfs/default.asp) and/or Trend
(http://housecall.antivirus.com ) and perform an online scan of your platform then report
back your results.

In addition:
If you post to UseNet with your TRUE, not a munged, email address then you have invited the
swen Internet worm [aka; W32/Gibe-F] to visit you.

The Swen is news spelled backwards. The reason it is called this is because the Swen worm
harvests email addresses from UseNet News Groups. It has an engine that allows it to post
itself to UseNet News Groups as well as it has its own email engine. From the list of
email addresses that it has harvested, it will then email itself to those addresses.
