[QUOTE="Silas Charleaux, post: 657534, member: 21524"] Is it normal to have svchost.exe being injected by dllhost.exe, unsecapp.exe, rundll32, WmiPrvSE, while other instances of svchost (they are multiple in any Windows installation) being randomly injected by dwm.exe, ctfmon.exe if any of the prior get process tree terminated or suspended? If I successfully end process all trees by being persistent svchost behaves normal, no injections. Until I open chrome or disconnect/connect to web. I know these are all windows apps, but so does Powershell. Just so you get an idea: [URL="http://imgur.com/a/dsWvk"]Poweliks and conhost minor? Both?[/URL] Whenever I close the prior, the later get in action and restore the prior to the original state. Also I've read about Poweliks: [URL="https://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2014-080408-5614-99&tabid=3"]Trojan.Poweliks Removal - Removing Help | Symantec[/URL] Exactly as it was told in the page above, I had the localserver registry keys placed, as well as Powershell installed (I never installed it) in System32 with took me several permission, inheritance overrides, including learning to use powershell scripts to remove its installation, since permission there was absolute impossible to manually retrieve and software was not listed into Windows Updates for removal. I don't want to bother you, I just can't fathom that this could be Windows normal behaviour. [/QUOTE]
