svchost.exe?

[Jim Miller]

I cleaned my whole hard drive with the McAfee Stinger, but I still get
the error message for svchost.exe. Is there anyway to repair the
damage without having to format the hard drive and then re-install
Win 2000 and Norton Anti-Virus?

McAfee Stinger is NOT a cure all!

It is a virus and worm removal tool that targets some 43 infectors and associated variants
out of the tens of thousands of known infectors!

Please go to BOTH of the below online scanners and perform a scan of your platform then
report back your results.
