I keep getting an error with this file
SVCHOST.EXE
I have just formatted my computer and put W2K back on my
system and whenever i connect online, after a few minutes
the error message occurs and i can no longer veiw many web
pages, copy'n'paste or even do a "search" on my own
computer.
I can't even connect to passport.
Any ideas?
 
Possibly blaster virus??


Cheers!

I'm sorry to tell you but I'm about 99.99% sure that you have a virus.
You just can't go on the internet with a new unpatched W2k install
unless you have a firewall up and running, almost a guarantee that you
will get a virus within 30 seconds of connecting on the internet.

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

Based upon the results, we can go on from there.
