svchost problem
Hi.. I'm new to this board. I've reently beeen having some major problems. First off, I'm running Windows 2000 Pro. I havent run any updats for a little less than a year. I recently found a virus on my system which is the W32.Blaster.Worm or something of that sort. I was able to get rid of the virus, but now my system has been a little off beat. It is fine when I initially boot up, but then after I am running windows for about 15 minutes, or when I connect to my ISP (through a phone line) I get a message which says that svchost.exe has created problems and will close. Well, after that happens, it seems there are no problems, BUT, I am unable to open certain sites (such as windows update, access to my credit card accounts, cell phone accounts, etc.) Also I am unable to do some random tasks such as copy, paste, drag/drop, access folders through windows explorer, link word documents, and many other problems. I have been trying to download the windows service pack 4, but there continues to be a connection problem after the svchost error occurs. I was hoping someone would have some sort of idea of what there is I could do. Thank you.
