svchost syswow64 virus

[calmoran]

I have a svchost virus and need help removing it please and thank you. I have done a few scans with different instructions I've found but nothing has worked so far.

 

[calmoran]

I managed to switch over the permissions of the svchost in syswow64 and delete it. Avast doesn't seem to be picking up any more issues. I think I may have fixed it, but still want to make sure. Anything you guys can help me with is appreciated.

Done

monitoring this thread as I seem to have the same infection

 

[calmoran]

I seem to be getting this error now...
Maybe deleting the whole svchost file wasn't such a good idea.

You need to enter a message.



@calmoran

That was very bad idea. Can you try to use System Restore?

 

[calmoran]

I currently don't have a backup made.

 

[calmoran]

ok turns out I have the scvhost.exe still. it was in my trash bin.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Can you restore it?

 

[calmoran]

done.

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.
