Noticed over the past few days that at random times I get an svchost.exe Application error as below:
http://mybroadband.co.za/photos/showphoto.php/photo/8675/size/big/cat/500
The error happens at totally random times whether I am idle/afk or actively browsing. If I do not click the X, Ok or Cancel button and leave the modal dialog I can continue to browse and send/receive data just fine. Otherwise as soon as I click to close it my internet connection instantly becomes dead and I disconnect from various servers. I use Neotel and the dialup connection shows as active but obviously am not able to get a ping reply or send/receive any data.
I of course have to reboot and hope the error doesn't happen any time soon, sometimes I go a whole day without the error others a few time's in a row after each boot up. I have not installed any new software recently so not sure what would have caused this.
I use Windows XP Pro
Use Avira as my antivirus
Use Zonealarm Pro as my firewall (have deactivated and random error still occurs)
Use Spybot S&D and RegscrubXP to do the occassional scans.
Does anyone have experience with this error or any advice on how to fix it please ?
PS: As I was typing this out the error occured again and had to reboot and re-write in order to submit this thread.
