 |
|
Lately on alot of our PCs they have been crashing giving the svchost.exe
error. All the machines are virus/spyware free and with all Windows/AV
updates. To stop the error I have been disabling the System Event
Notification service, this seems to fix the probelm.
My question is - is there a fix for this error yet?
I assume it is a issue with a Windows update or something like that, has
Microsoft acknowledged the error yet? |

You might want to look through the posts in the Windows Update newsgroup.
If it comes as a result of a windows update they are the best resource.

With all due respect and as I indicated earlier, the suggestion that malware
was responsible was 'off the mark.' I discovered that the fix was stopping
and disabling the Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework
service. For anyone else to whom this suggestion may be of value: Start -
Run - Enter "Services.msc" (without the quotes) to get to the interface to
stop and disable the service.

With all due respect, I still recommend having an expert take a look at your
HijackThis log.

Hi Robear,
I'm not at all daunted by that process. To be clear, in addition to
on-access virus scanning and full computer virus scans, I run 6 flavors of
anti-spyware regularly: Spybot S&D, Ad-aware, Spyware Blaster, A-squared
Free, Super Antispyware, AVG AntiSpyware, AVG Antirootkit I also use
Process
Explorer, msconfig, Hijack This as needed to troubleshoot issues as I have
in this instance. There are no rogue processes on my computer.

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis
log to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

analysis, not here.**
If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting
this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.

Sorry, I erred in stating I just applied kb916089. The hotfix I applied
was
KB927891 and that did not fix the problem.

Thnx for the links but I still have the same problem after applying the
kb916089 hotfix. Also I use basic Windows Update, not Microsoft Update.

On bootup I am receiving the following svchost.exe error msg:
The instruction at "0x7c918fea" referenced at "0x00000010". The

could
not be written. Click on OK to terminated application, Cancel to
debug.
I've read posts on the net that Windows Update can cause this, so
followed the course which worked for others--disabled Windows Updat,
reboot, perform
a manual update, then turn Auto Update back on. Didn't work.
