svchost.exe application error

Every time I boot the computer i get this error

Svchost.exe Application Error ..... The instruction at "0x77f69ecd" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be "written".

Have a feeling it might be a virus.

Any advice?

I had something similar before I updated my catylst drivers (ati card). I originally used the MS windows update driver download, but when using the latest full catylst driver, the error went away. Also, my ASUS AI overclock thing also gave me something very similar before my gfx problem.

Not sure if its anything to do with ATi drivers, for some reason i cant turn on my firewall, every time i try and open up IE or anything important on my computer i get the error. Nothing i have done seems to make any difference.

Create a batch file, containing the command

Code:

@echo off
echo.
echo Writing tasks to file
echo.
tasklist /svc > c:\task_list.270206.txt
echo.
echo Done

Go into your registry, add a REG_SZ to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run - add a new string value, call it what you want and have it pointing to the fil path of the .bat file.

This will then start the batch file when you restart, and you should be able to see what service is messing up.
