I have Win2K pro SP4. I have Mcafee AV with definitions up to date. I log on to the network daily at work. For one week, I am experiencing the error message "Svchost.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows..." --AND-- I cannot connect to the internet either through the dial up or company LAN. I am however able to browse the network folders and drives. I have downloaded and applied both MS03-026 and MS03-039. I have run the FixBlast and FixWelchia tools from Symantec. No viruses were found. I have also downloaded and run the DCOMbobulator. It claimed that DCOM service and the corresponding TCP port were already disabled and the computer is already protected. I have read all the recent threads and am still getting the error message and unable to connect. Any ideas.................

Yes I have had this problem many times at home and at
work. The problem seems to be an rpc buffer overrun. To
fix this get the rpc vuln patch. This has fixed every
occasion I have had with this problem. I think it is
KB41246 or something like that.

You still might be infected.

Open Taskmanager and look for the msblast.exe, mspatch.exe or
teekids-proces. Kill it and go to www.sophos.com\support\disinfection to get
the removaltool. This removaltool will clean your registry too. After that
install ms03-039 from microsoft to prevent from happening again. (You won't
need the ms03-026, because it is superceeded by ms03-039.)

Thanks Marina and Brad

Brad, what you are suggesting is Knowledge Base article about the Blaster Virus and I have already downloaded and installed that update

Marina, I have checked taskmanager as per your suggestion and no such processes are running there

It can't hurt to run that removaltool from Sophos again. Does Add/Remove
Programs show that the ms03-039 (hotfix 824146) is installed?
