I have a system that occasionally gets this error message: services.exe
terminated unexpectedly status code 1073741819 and will shut down computer in
45 seconds. I've done some research and can only find data on this code for
Win2K or NT 4.0. Any ideas on what to look for would be appreciated. I have
cleaned several viruses from this system although its was doing this before I
removed the viruses. I have also noticed that PC-Cillin Internet Security
firewall propmts me with suspicious activity from components and services. I
have tried to block the activity and this seems to prompt this error more
frequently. If I allow the activity I dont get the error every time I boot.
Looking at the settings in the firewall, there are no ports or IP addresses
listed for the activity, but the are all outgoing.
