I recently reinstalled windows 2000 and I now have to
download all the updates. When I do this I get an svchost
error. I think this is related to the blaster virus and I
have updated my anti-virus software. Everytime I begin
downloading the updates it stops after several minutes and
then says updates failed. Norton says I need to download
the service packs but I can't because during download my
computer gets reinfected.
 
In order to take care of the worm I have been downloading the patch manually
from microsoft onto a floppy disk, dont use the Windows update site. then
run the stinger.exe tool available from McAfee (www.nai.com). This should
take care of it.
