Thanks, Mark, Amer Karim and Tim. Yep I have now de-wormed. Had taken down the antivirus and firewall for a few days while tried to port W2K to another Hard Drive. Reinstalled on the 12th - just a little late. So far have not lost svchost.exe since installing the MS Patch and FixTool. Again, thanks to all.
