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.

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.

    Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  • Make sure that Addition option is checked.
  • Press Scan button and wait.
  • The tool will produce two logfiles on your desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
Please include their content into your next reply.
 
I seem to be getting this error now...
Maybe deleting the whole svchost file wasn't such a good idea.

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
    FRST.gif
    icon and select
    RunAsAdmin.jpg
    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.
