see if there is a file there named SVCHOST.exe or DLLHOST.exe
check out teh properties, see if it has been signed anmarked with the author, version etc. and the size, a real svchost should be 4-6K, the virus version is usually 10K, also the virus one will not have proper authors/signature/version etc, find and run the msblast fix

I had the same problem and it went out completely after running this patch.
if the link is not active, do the following:
1- go to www.microsoft.com
2. under "Resources" on the left side: click downloads
3. under "product/technology" chose "Windows 2000"
4. under "Keywords" type "worm" then GO
5. the first article is "Blaster Worm: Critical Security Patch for Windows 2000" click on it.
6. in the right side you will find "Blaster Worm: Critical Security Patch for Windows 2000" download it and run it.
thats it

I took my pc completely down- remove partition - new partition - format - clean Win2KPro install(Original WIN2K CD-No Crackwarez), and I still have the problem.
I'm running an ASUS P2B motherboard with (i think) the latest BIOS (BX2i1012).
I've tried innstalling all the updates from WinUpdate, but still with no success..?
As other "repliers" write, the machine keeps torpedo my functions after this ERROR occur..Print Out won't work, network properties won't work etc etc..
A SOULUTION will be met with a big hoooraaaayyy...

It is not the blaster worm doing this, it is in the way memory is handled in Win2k. I have two other computers running same OS and no error message. Seems like it may be a initial install file loading error or dll error.

I was getting the svchost error whilst on the net like everyone else recently. It does seem to be due to the blaster worm. Here is what to do, it takes time but it did work.
Download and run service pack 4, or at least have service pack 3 installed. It takes upto 2 hours to download so be patient.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downl...s/servicepacks/ (http://\"http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/\")
Next download and run the BlasterWorm patch for 2k:

Is it possible that its a combination of MSblaster and a bad install of 2K pro? (for some reason all files in i386 folder could not be installed from Win CD on install so had to skip them all. Put SPK4 over it though.If that helped??
Any help or advice would be much appreciated

Agobot in \WINNT\SYSTEM\WINHLP~1.EXE
Lovsan.A in \WINNT\SYSTEM\MSLAUGH.EXE
Nachi in \WINNT\SYSTEM\WINS\DLLHOST.EXE
However, I did not detect any MSBlaster at any time during my svchost errors.
These problems were all cleared by installing SP4 and Patch KB823980.

after re-installing win2k sp2 on my machine, had previously sp3, still had the same problems. then re-installed my norton av, scanned and picked up the blaster virus. did the proper procedures for removing that.
then downloaded windows sp4 and followed the instructions by another kind helper on this site (cant remember name as am nearly asleep from trying to fix it) about editing regedit...
now i have been online for over an hour and no problems so davids solution is definately the way to go i reckon...if not i will have to pick up my laptop and smash it to pieces!!!

I found that there were two svchost.exe files. The file that appeared to be from a virus was in caps, it was about 18kb, and the original file name was not svchost, it was something else. I deleted the copy cat and got back online and I'm still waiting to see if I get an error.
I didn't run any virus clean up or nothing like that.

These steps have to be taken to solve the problem:
1) goto start->run->msconfig->startup->uncheck msblast.exe and restart system
2) If this does not solve the problem, goto start->run->regedit->HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->current control set->software->Microsoft->Windows->Current Version->Run and delete any string with msblast.exe
3) goto c:\windows\system32 and delete msblast.exe file or folder and restart the computer
4) goto start->run->services.msc->RPC host->properties->recovery->select the three steps to take no action and restart the system
5) Download the patch from Microsoft web-site

Post by: The Hacker on March 26, 2004, 08:50:50 PM
My suggestion is, though much of a pain in the ass as it may sound is to get anti virus software, install the sp4 service pak for win 2000 pro and the other patch that protects your ports or whatever.
The worst thing about this is you need the anti virus software running before you connect to the internet, well if you have a infected dialup server like mine, nocharge.com.
Otherwise you will probably be attacked within minutes, im not kidding. This is after a complete reinstallation of windows 2000 pro.
There seems to be a security hole i'm almost sure, 99% sure in windows 2000 pro that lets the virus in within minutes of a new install. Repeat , you need anti virus software monitoring your connection , even before you download and install service pak4 and the other port secure patch whatever it is, enu?.
Just from personal experience this blaster worm virus really sucks if your not educated about it.
Syptoms are svchost has errors, teekids.exe file is screwing with ya, everything goes haywire and all kinds all stuff starts happening, like notepad opens for no reason, system shuts down, search engine queries become useless because all the text in the results are crossed out and/or unreadable.
You need to do your homework and get use to total destruction of your system files before you can confront this horrible virus.
Fdisk, format c:, reinstall operating system, get anti virus software to monitor your connection before you connect, download service pak 4 for win 2000 pro, and the patch to fix port vulnabilities, sorry no details here, then your ready to conquer the world.
The Hacker
Oh by the way, don't be trying to hack into computers unless you follow my advice, or you will end up like i did. What's next? Who's Next?

If you're infected or you seem to be having problems, COPY THIS into a text file and save it to your desktop.
I'd suggest downloading the two removal tools from Symantec.
BLASTER:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...er/FixBlast.exe (http://\"http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/FixBlast.exe\")
WELSHIA:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/FixWelch.exe (http://\"http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/FixWelch.exe\")
Then download the security patch.
WINDOWS 2000:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en (http://\"http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F4F66D56-E7CE-44C3-8B94-817EA8485DD1&displaylang=en\")
WINDOWS XP*:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en (http://\"http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5FA055AE-A1BA-4D4A-B424-95D32CFC8CBA&displaylang=en\")
Anyway, it's all pretty basic. After you download all three files to your desktop, unplug any "always on" broadband connections you have (IE: Cable, DSL) and restart the computer. DO NOT RECONNECT TO THE INTERNET!!! Run the blaster worm fix and let it complete. When it asks you to download the patch, tell the program no. Do the same with the Welchia fix. Again, do not connect to the internet. Finally, run the windows update patch supplied for your OS. It's one of those really long url links up there. Once finished, you'll be asked to restart your computer. Go ahead and restart. You should be worm and reboot free from then on. If for some reason you still get problems, I'm incredibly sorry for coming off so stupid, but I've fixed dozens of win2k and xp machines infected with these worms and I know the symptoms pretty well.
*Note: If you're running Windows XP and your computer keeps getting shut down after ~10mins on the net, you'll either have to download each file sepertly and restart after each complete download or disable the computer from shutting down by typing "services.msc" in the Start => Run box and click OK. The Services Control Panel comes up. Select the entry for the RCP service, then right-click on it and click Properties. Open the Recovery tab. There are boxes there with options on what actions can be taken should the service fail. These are set by default to Restart. You must set all three actions to Take No Action.

/rolleyes.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':rolleyes:\' />[/quote]I've been trying to access windows update. Unfortunately now, though my dial-up is connecting, what i now get are "these page cannot be displayed" and "dns error" messages.
I cannot browse. I tried my yahoo mail. it takes too long to download the pages.
Is it too late? What can I do? Are there any shortcuts or tools in removing the worm and repair what it damaged.
I already run fixblast and it said the worm has not been found on my computer. Not anymore. But I still get the svchost error message and can't download pages
/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />Can someone help me please?

I was getting the svchost error whilst on the net like everyone else recently. It does seem to be due to the blaster worm. Here is what to do, it takes time but it did work.
Download and run service pack 4, or at least have service pack 3 installed. It takes upto 2 hours to download so be patient.

Next download and run the BlasterWorm patch for 2k:

This really did work so its well worth giving it a go.
Let me know how you got on lovely people.

Unplug your cable network and your system will be fine.
If this sound excessive, disable Services as Automatic Updates and Remote Registry.
