LloydFoss-- while you are correct that ooglenz is rude, you're wrong about that fact that he's probably right. In fact, he's almost always wrong (including now), and seems to be 14 in addition to that.

I was experiencing the same error. When I updated my virus update definitions it found that my computer had the Welchia Virus and that was causing the problems. I downloaded the following fix: http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/FixWelch.exe and saved it to my desktop. Do the same, then: Double click the icon Click START to begin the process and allow tool to run Restart computer Run the removal tool again to make sure your computer is clean If you have Windows ME or XP you will need to turn off System Restore. Don't forget to turn it back on again afterwards. I hope this works and it certainly fixed my svchost.exe error Good Luck!

Hi All, I seem to be having the same svchost.exe error that everyone here is talking about. I have done all the suggested work around but nothing has worked yet. What I have done: -installed SP3 for win2000- I don't trust SP 4 yet. -installed the security patch from MS -updated Norton to the latest files - clean check -Downloaded and started the worm checks for blast, welchia, and sobig -all came back clean -search for those worm files -none found I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you, Vivian

temporarily u can remove it by installing a personal firewall and block the following ports 4444, 4445, 135 & 69... currently AVs canot detect or find any trace of virus on the local workstation..

Hi there, This may be for Vivian... who had the svchost.exe problem. We had the same problem, or a similar one, and we found out it was the Blaster virus (more than likely). We installed a Blaster patch, which was found at http://www.globalhauri.com/html/. We used the worm.win32.blaster patch located on the left hand side of the website page. You may have to delete your other anti-virus program first and install one at the Hauri website, but we are not sure. Good luck. Sue

I had MSBlast, that lead to welchia, I changed my system date and welchia which killed msblast, killed itself, and I still have the svchost error. Anyone have any clue as to how to fix this problem. It makes my comp not able to copy paste or open links in new windows once the error happens. Anyone know what really causes this....don't say either of the worms cause they are gone....if anyone know's of a fix that isn't removing the worm please share with the group.

this is for janetd. I had the same problems, copy and paste, drag, link, etc. I went http://www.globalhauri.com/html/ and installed the blaster patch as the instruction said. The process was easy and fast, not like that of msn. The patch detected my windows system automatically, so i didn't have to choose anything. Since I installed it, the error message hasn't popped up so far.
