Hi,

Have you set the RPC service to reboot on failure, as you asked a similar
question earlier this week about svchost.exe crashing? If so, you probably
don't have a virus. One or more of the RPC exploit attempts causes
svchost.exe to crash on Win2k even when fully patched.

To fix your problem, Google for msblast & block the recommended ports.
