sychost.exe generated errors (win2000pro)


Recommended Posts

Computer running win2000

IEv6

broadband just set up

After a short period of time an error popup appears:

'Sychost.exe generated errors & will be closed. Need to restart the program'

When this happens, in Internet Explorer I loose ability to:

*copy and paste

*click certain links that need new windows to open

Anyone know:

*what and why this is about

*where the file is

Appreciate any knowledge or thoughts.

sorry...... I posted this into your other thread.. I have some stuff to do but I notice a couple of others lurking about who could help you with this one

'sychost.exe' is an indication of the Blaster Worm I think

Is your AV up to date?
