A problem when I connect to Internet

[ramprasad]

Hi All
I run a P4, 1.6GHz, 40GB HDD, an LG DVD, and CD-RW.... machine running on Windows 2000 SP4... The problem is that whwnever i connect to the net, the system issues a message after 5 mins or so that "svchost.exe has performed an ilegal opearion and an error log has been created". After that I am not able to use my context menu(right click menu) and not open the link in a new window.............

Please help to solve it and Thanx in Advance........

Regards,

this could be a virus related issue. Which Antivirus do you have ? And since this happens mainly when the internet connection happens, I def think this could be a trojan. If you dont have an AV I suggest you get one ASAP. Tyr Kaspersky. Its very good.

SP2 for Windows 2000 ? The guy has Windows 2000 with Sp4 neways. So I dont see that as an issue. I def think it would be the blaster virus. I have no idea why Norton behaves like that. I would suggest gettin rid of Norton and getting Kaspersky AV. Its much better.
