Dave,
I must have missed when it was answered. I went back
through all of the ones that I posted and even checked
the 'subject' of other messages, however, I could not find
where it was answered. You had provided a response
of "http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=826955" I suppose
I read that incorrectly, but it appears to bring you to a
site that you download the patch to fix the 'blaster',
which can not be installed until ms30.26 is not
installed. At any rate, that was more of a FYI for me vs.
what was causing the problem. As stated, it appears not
to be the 'blaster' virus at all , although most, if not
all of the responses that I have had so far is that it is
the 'blaster'. However, when I run the command provided
by Microsoft, the blaster virus is not there. My process
may be incorrect, however, I tend to go with the Microsoft
and if they tell me, through running their command
software, that there is no 'blaster' virus, I have to
believe them. With that, the issue does not have anything
to do with the 'blaster' virus, because it is just not
there, I did post the issue under Svchost.exe. and the
additional information that I had - like the version of
Windows, etc. This may be a similiar issue, however, we
have to go down a different path, and the 'blaster' path
appears just not to be correct. If I did not post a new
issue, I would take the belief that people would be
confused. To make things easy, simpler and to go down a
different path this was posted. This is similiar, but not
the same.
Thank you for the information that you provided, it helped
a great deal. Your specific information led the
conclusion that it was not the 'blaster' virus, and thus
the issue has not been solved and therefore has not been
answered. Your concern for the multi-post is the same as
mine; I would not to see multi-posts either.
If anyone has any ideas other than it is the blaster,
please let me know.
Thank you,
Craig
