IIS and SMTP terminated unexpectedly

I am getting the following messages in Event Viewer...
This is obviously affecting the mail flow to our company. It all started
yesterday so perhaps it started as early as this weekend or last week
without us noticing. Can someone recommend a fix? I have reinstalled
Norton AV using latest EXE and DAT and that did not fix it. Anything else?


Event ID 2273
Worker process could not access metabase due to disconnection error. Marking
process as unhealthy.


Event ID 1000
Faulting application W3WP.exe, version 6.0.3790.3959, faulting module
davex.dll, version 6.5.7651.61, fault address 0x000689b9


Event ID 7031
The IIS Admin Service service terminated unexpectedly. It has dne this 52
times.


Event ID 7034
The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service terminated unexpectedly.
It has done this 52 times.


The problem is due to failing of IIS first which then brings down the SMTP
component.

I wanted to share with everyone that removing GFI spam filter and Norton AV
10.1.5 worked. I have sinced installed NOD32 (better AV anyhow). I don't
think Norton was the problem though because I uninstalled it yesterday and
it was still affecting IIS / SMTP - now GONE completely.
