This one is strange. I'm working on this win 2000 computer that recently got the w32.welchia.worm virus. I flushed the virus and it is gone but I have 3 instances of svchost.exe running and the yahoo and msn messengers will not connect. I am on the verge of re formatting but if anyone has dealt with this in the past couple days... please speak up!!!

I think the three SVCHOST instances you're worrying about are a Red Herring, that seems to be normal for three W2K machines here, and they have no problems. Stop looking there and you might make progress...

W32.Welchia.Worm

Posting links maybe illegal on this site but it is a fix for the W32.Welchia.Worm

You might have a point, but my win2k machine only has one svchost running.


It would have been quicker to re format.

I ran the worm fix allready but thank you.
