Solved Svchost.exe (trojan(something)) returns after reboot

[Jay Pfoutz]

Hi there. It all appears to be good, so we will finish up to make sure your computer is protected from malware in the future.

Clean up System Restore

Now, to get you off to a clean start, we will be creating a new Restore Point, then clearing the old ones to make sure you do not get reinfected, in case you need to "restore back."

To manually create a new Restore Point

• Go to Control Panel and select System and Maintenance
• Select System
• On the left select Advanced System Settings and accept the warning if you get one
• Select System Protection Tab
• Select Create at the bottom
• Type in a name I.e. Clean
• Select Create

Remove tools, temp files, old Restore Points

Please run OTL

• Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, copy and paste in the following:
  
  

  :files
  ipconfig /flushdns /c
  
  :commands
  [CREATERESTOREPOINT]
  [CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
  [emptyflash]
  [emptytemp]
  [emptyjava]
  [reboot]

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top.
• Note: The fix for OTL sometimes hides your Desktop and Start menu so the cleanup can be completed. Do not be alerted, as this is normal.
• It may open a log for you, but I don't need that.

To remove all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created do the following:
Double click OTL.exe.

• Click the CleanUp button.
• Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.
• If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
• The tool will delete itself once it finishes.

Note: If any tool, file or folder (belonging to the program we have used) hasn't been deleted, please delete it manually.


Security Check

Please download Security Check by screen317 from SpywareInfoforum.org or Changelog.fr.

• Save it to your Desktop.
• Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
• A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

Java Update!

Please download the newest version of Java from Java.com.

Before installing: it is important to remove older versions of Java since it does not do so automatically and old versions still leave you vulnerable.
Go to the Control Panel and enter Add or Remove Programs (Programs and Features in Vista/7).
Search in the list for all previous installed versions of Java. (J2SE Runtime Environment). Please uninstall/remove each of them.

Once old versions are gone, please install the newest version.

I went to adobe and I went to java and both sites said I have the latest version. although I removed 64 bit java that was old update 11 and im left with update 15 which is the newest and flash 11.5 which is newest.

rather good tech support. I dont know if there is anything else other than thank you for the help and I learned alot.

I downloaded secunia PSI and found out some programs like flash and winamp needed upgrades so im using that to do that. cause according to adobe.com and java.com it says I have latest version.

 

[m0nk3n]

How do I update flash activex? it's the only thing that need update according to secunia PSI

 

[Jay Pfoutz]

Good. When you go to download Flash, click on Different Operating System or Browser link and find the OS - then download the one for Internet Explorer.
