svchost.exe

Am using Win2K, sp3, and Netscape 4.x, and I created a dialer with Win2k. After
connecting to the internet for a while I get an error message that says "svchost.exe
has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the
program." The only consequence of this message is that I have to shut down the computer
to disconnect from the internet ... a big nuisance. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi
Sounds like you must download and install the win2k patch for the blaster worm. Can't
remember the MSB number but put a search in Google and you'll get straight there.
Hope this fixes it, it did for me and many others.

It is very important that you make sure that your virus definitions are current when
you do a scan. If the OS doesn't give you time to do the scans and patching; Go
to RPC in Services and change the Recovery options to Take No Action instead of Reboot.

You may have the Welchia or Nachi virus, Same virus different names by different
AV companies.
Fastest wau to find out is to open c:\winnt\system32\wins (c:\indows\system32\wins
if you upgraded from w9x) folder if you see svchost dll or exe or whatever you have
it. Easy to clean.. go to Http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/FixWelch.exe
Run it and then patch your system with the ms03-026 and more importantly! the ms03-039
patch from Microsoft

That you turn off this vulnerability from microsoft?
In win2k and Xp and nt4
Hit start | run type dcomcnfg on the default properties tab unselect 'enable distributed
Com on this computer'
You can always re-enable it the same way.. if you need it for something... which,
you won't :)

The following is the change required in your registery for solving above problem
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
In Registry Editor, expand the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Telephony\Locations
On the Registry menu, click Export Registry File.
In the File name box, type locations, and then click Save.
NOTE: You can restore this registry subkey by double-clicking the Locations.reg file
that you saved.
Under the Locations subkey, delete all Locationx folders (where x is a number) except
for Location1 and Location2. For example, if the Locations registry subkey listing
is similar to the following -Locations
|
|-- Location1
|-- Location2
|-- Location3
|-- Location4
delete the Location3 and Location4 subkeys.
To delete a subkey, right-click the Locationx folder, and then click Delete. Click
Yes to confirm the deletion.
Rename the Location1 registry subkey as Location0 (zero). To rename a subkey, right-click
it, and then click Rename.
Rename the Location2 registry subkey as Location1.
NOTE: The Locations subkey should appear as follows: -Locations
|
|-- Location0
|-- Location1
Click the Locations registry subkey.
In the right pane of the Registry Editor window, right-click CurrentID, and then
click Modify. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
Right-click LocationListVersion, and then click Modify. In the Value data box, type
2, and then click OK.
Right-click NextID, and then click Modify. In the Value data box, type 4, and then
click OK.
Right-click NumEntries (if it is present), and then click Delete. Click Yes to confirm
the deletion.
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
Type NumEntries, and then press ENTER.
Right-click NumEntries, and then click Modify. In the Value data box, type 2, and
then click OK.
In the left pane of the Registry Editor window, expand the Location1 subkey that
is under Locations.
If the AreaCodeRules subkey is not listed under Location1, follow these steps:
Click the Location1 subkey (to select it if it is not already selected).
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key.
Type AreaCodeRules, and then press ENTER.
Quit Registry Editor.
Restart the computer.

I also had the same trouble, Norton 2002 has a seperate "Worm Remover" if you search
their updates for 'worm 32'

Hello
What part did not work? A more detailed question gets a more detailed answer, but
to the original question, Yes, I am sure
