Don't do that just yet. I've got the same problem on a W2K laptop. Started yesterday. Svchost.exe wouldn't allow me access to stop it (as admin).
Suspiciously, Spybot seems to have removed itself from the machine too. And I'm getting packet errors on the wifi - hints that it's a WEP problem, but I don't think so.
