[QUOTE="cecanima, post: 489919, member: 50655"] Started a couple of days ago. It makes couple of svchost.exe processes that eat a huge chunk of my resources. I have been trying everything to fix it and even formatted my computer and here it is again. Since the format, I found a web post by one of your members I guess regarding the same matter, written in a couple of steps. I followed them thoroughly but they didn't help. So, as at the end of the page was a note saying that if the steps didn't help, thread should be started on this forum. So here I am. As mentioned before, I found a post by what I think is a member of yours, listing a few steps on how to remove svchost problem, but they didn't help, so I am starting a thread here. A couple of minutes before writing this, I tried to edit the permissions of the .exe file that is starting this process. At first I was denied access, then I edited the ownership of the file and edited the permissions after that. I think it didn't really solved anything as I still have many svchost processes runing with the top resource consumer eating 150mb of memory. One thing I noticed is that before I changed the permissions, a thing called TrustedInstaller had all the permissions of the .exe file and yesterday I followed a tutorial on youtube on how to remove TrustedInstaller as it appeared to be a malware.
