 Posted: Sat Aug 16, 2003 9:15 am Post subject: svchost.exe problem. Help if you know of this |
 |
|
Hi all
I've posted this question once but I never saw it show up in the
group. Heres the problem; I reinstalled Windows 2000pro on my machine
and ever since I get an error message that says, "svchost.exe has
generated problems and will be shutdown. You will have to restart the
program. An error log is being generated". When this happens my
windows search menu will not come up. I can click on start, go to
search, then to files and folders but the search window will not come
up. Also, I can go into Winnt and it is completely blank as well as
the programs folder. I know what svchost.exe is and I have done some
research on the internet about it. Most sites talk about svchost.exe
using up to much processor resources and bogging down the system. I
haven't seen anything about svchost causing my kind of problems. I can
turn the machine off then back on and all will work fine for a while.
Other than that the system still works fine. Any ideas?????? |

YEP, I got it. It got past my antivirus program and I keep that
updated. I am pretty sure I can manually remove it so I'll do that
first chance I get. Everyone better keep on top of this one.
Thanks for the advise.

I have been having this same problem with errors about svchost.exe! After I
get the error some programs will not run correctly and the search function
will not work! After restarting, everything works fine! Its not the
blaster worm I have updated windows patches, updated virus def. and the
blaster addition to the registry is not present! Also have a firewall and
it is not reporting and attempts on the ports that blaster uses!

I have the same issue on a couple of different computers. I even ran the
msblaster check from Norton to make sure, and nothing.

There is a d.o.s variant of the same exploit utilised by blaster, just
crashes servicehost. walling port 135 stops it

Well I manually removed MSBLAST.EXE and have had no more svchost.exe
problems or error messages. I also went to microsoft and downloaded
their patch and have been keeping an eye on Task Manager. Thanks for
all the good advise guys. Really appreciate it.

I had a customers machine display the symptoms of MBlast ie: shutting |
down in 30 seconds, when scanned with the removal tool(two of them)
didn't pick up anything.I patched it anyway and ran Adaware and Spybot
and picked up around 150 nasties.
Customer picked up the machine and no problems ??? |

Yes, as Dave said - there is a DOS varient out there, and I am thinking a
lot of modern scanners do not check old DOS stuff. |

RussS has kindly posted the links for you, they are easy to run, and
can be set to scan on boot every time. |

Well, I just talked to the one office that was having the service host
error. After they started having it, I went and ran the patch, even though
I didn't find the worm, I figured it couldn't hurt. And what do you know,
she hasn't had the svchost error since.
