Solved Svchost.exe virus

[Satya Arjun Patra]

Hello once again and sorry to bother you again, but last time when the problem was fixed, it lasted for only a few days. Once again my system has gone slow and many unknown programs are running in background. I have attached FRST log.Thanks.

Forgot to mention, bittorent got installed automatically because I clicked one add by mistake

I tried to search for SafeKill antivirus and I got malware warning when tried to enter their website. My suggestion is to uninstall it at least temporary until we see what is going on.

I uninstalled Safekill years ago. The main thing is that it is still there in my laptop. I tried my best but......... it has promised to stay forever in my laptop. Thanks for replying.

And may I know why is it showing 360 disabled?? I enabled it......

Not sure why, but if it works then don't believe log output.

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

I tried the fix and here is the log file:

Very good. How is your PC behaving now?

 

[Satya Arjun Patra]

Thanks Eagle, it is running fast now. but when I try to install Windows Update manually, it shows "Update is not applicable to your computer" , though I know it has to be updated. What shall I do. I update by using 360 Patch Up. It generates a list and then go to Microsoft's official download page and download the updates. I do this because when I turn on Windows Update in the Control panel it uses a high amount of disk, CPU as well as RAM, maybe around 80% of each. Thanks for replying.

I am not sure what to say. You have 64-bit operating system installed on PC with only Total physical RAM: 1747.53 MB that is not advisable. Under 2GB of ram memory, the better option is 32-bit OS because it consumes less memory.

Anyhow, your PC isn't infected.

Thanks once again.
