I saw the virus was in the documents and setting folder, today i did a manual scan on this folder with my avira and found no virus, however the wuauclt.exe issue is still there. i know this windows process its not behaving accordingly as i manually disable windows update yesterday after shutting down my PC and today after restarting my PC the file activates in the proses tree as it never was disable.
So to prevent the 100% CPU usage glitch I forced shutdown the file before it did anything, preventing the svhost.exe file to activate that glitch, several times till it didn't show up again up until now. But pretty sure this process will activate on its own later own as happen to me yesterday.

so basically is wuauclt.exe together with svhost.exe and then 100CPU usage. So this cause my PC to run Very slow, all task are lag and in essential making my pc worthless to work with.


yes, i know you guys ask me to install OLT but before downloading any programs and running them, i want to know is there is an issue with windows update or if its in fact a malware. Don't want to download and install programs if there is really no reason too, please understand me.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any info you can give me.

Hi and welcome to the malwaretips.com forums!

I'm Kuttus and I am going to try to assist you with your problem. Please take note of the below:
  • I will start working on your malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine!
  • The process is not instant. Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine is clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
  • Refrain from running self fixes as this will hinder the malware removal process.
  • It may prove beneficial if you print of the following instructions or save them to notepad as I post them.
Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.


Before we start:
Please be aware that removing malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.

Because of this, I advise you to backup any personal files and folders before you start.

Please run the following utility so that I can get a log of your system...
