i got svchost.exe error frequently.i am using win2k.so i try to reinstall the OS but in the middle of installation i got the same error and showed it fail to register com comp(Sub-component COM+ raised an exception while processing the OC_COMPLETE_INSTALLATION setup message.
..\ccompluscore.cpp (line 274)
Error Code = 0x80040206
I got the same problem. Svchost error may occur even on fresh installations of Windows 2000 SP3 without any virus (maybe it has to do with some network frustration of windows, I do not really know).
I have also found that "svchost.exe error" can be generated without any detectable virus / worm infection. But it always occurred while online (by 56k modem) and was usually accompanied with the inability to disconnect the modem (needed to restart Windows). Other times, AVG would detect one of the following worms:
Agobot in \WINNT\SYSTEM\WINHLP~1.EXE
Lovsan.A in \WINNT\SYSTEM\MSLAUGH.EXE
Nachi in \WINNT\SYSTEM\WINS\DLLHOST.EXE
However, I did not detect any MSBlaster at any time during my svchost errors.
These problems were all cleared by installing SP4 and Patch KB823980 from Microsoft.
im having some problems where to locate the solution to this svchost.exe error. i looked up at the site you gave but i can't seem to find the patch that you posted. can u just give the exact name of the patch, please and do i need a service pack 3 for that??? thanks a lot !
Hello,
I have the answer to your problem, try to change the port address of communication port in CMOS setup, and re install Operating Systems, If the problem persist, locate the correct modem driver.
