SVChost.exe cpu issue with XP Pro after removal of Trojan

My sister recently downloaded a virus on my computer. I removed the Trojan horse and have had problems with SVChost.exe are beginning to eat time CPU. This is usually triggered when I start Firefox. It may be unrelated, but I do not. I did a uninstall/reinstall on Firefox and now it will briefly be blip in the Task Manager process tab, but it disappears almost immediately.

I service Pack3 on my machine, so I don't think it's the SVChost service Pack3 fixed problem. I ran a repair of XP once I have nuked the Trojan horse. I ran across the virus alarm area scan, adaware, and malwarebytes to make sure that the thing had gone gone gone.

I did a check on what is in the regedit for svchost, and it has the following:

default reg_sz

DcomLaunch REG_MULTI_SZ

DOT3SVC

REG_MULTI_SZ

DOT3SVC reg_multi_sz

eapsvcs REG_MULTI_SZ

getPlusHelper REG_MULTI_SZ

HTTPFilter REG_MULTI_SZ

imgsvc reg_multi_sz

LocalService REG_MULTI_SZ

netsvcs reg_multi_sz

NetworkService REG_MULTI_SZ

RPCSS reg_multi_sz

termsvcs REG_MULTI_SZ

wudfservicegroup reg_multi_sz

I did some research, and I don't know where to go next. I think it's a registry issue maybe, or a svchost corrupt, but since I have service pack 3, I don't know if there is something else I can do, especially since the question seems to start when I start Firefox. Don't use not Firefox may be an answer, but I really want to make sure that the problem is resolved so that my computer is not get no more corrupt than it already is.

I saw in my research programs will supposedly fix your registry database, but they seem to be more malicious sites, so I am wary of downloading something that is not specifically to Microsoft. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I might want to do next? Everything I've read seems to indicate the problem but not the solution. Thank you for taking the time to watch it!

I think you can still infected?

Try to run one scan of other suppliers and also if you want you can send me your HijackThis report for analysis on my e-mail address in my BIO profile.

What the name of the Trojan horse?

Thanks Nass and Paulogergo,

I think that I fixed it. I have re-ran all my antivirus programs and I did forget to empty my cache and temporary files. I clear up the registry and system files. I think that the real culprit was Zone alarm. They have this new feature, called force shield. I didn't know that there was a cache that had to be cleared out. Thus, the register needed to be cleared up, but the problem of Firefox was my firewall program. My machine worked fine for the last half hour with no slow worms down or my sessions of cpu overloaded. I run a defrag during the night to make sure. But it seems that everything is copacetic. Thank you so much both to look at this for me. I have not had a virus in 10 years and I forgot what I didn't.

  • Svchost.exe CPU / out max memory due to the update of Windows

    I'm having a problem with a svchost.exe process running the CPU at 100% and more than 200 000 K of memory.  The service seems to be related to Windows Update (PID 6408).  Is there any solution for this?

    Hi SF340_Driver,

    (1) you get an error message?
    (2) how did you get the information that the problem is related to Windows Update?

    Svchost.exe is a process on the computer that hosts, or contains, other individual services that Windows uses to perform various functions. For example, Windows Defender uses a service that is hosted by a svchost.exe process.

    See the link below
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-Svchost-exe

    Method 1:  Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists

    Follow step 1 in the link below,

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.
    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  • very strong the svchost.exe CPU utilization

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:svchost.exe. and taskmge.exe have the constant CPU after starting use, even if I have no active porgrams.

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

    Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

    Go to start / search and type msconfig.exe and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Go to the Startup tab and uncheck everything except Windows Defender and your AV program, click OK and restart.  See if you still have the problem.  Otherwise, it's just a matter of adding startup back both programs until the problem occurs - so you know that the cause and can leave unchecked, recheck anything else you want to start (it can be much less than what it was before the majority is not necessary), click OK and restart.  That should hopefully solve the problem.

    Download Process Explorer,http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx and Process Monitor,http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx and run these programs to see if they can help to identify the real causes of the problem (this probably isn't svchost.exe, but other processes or services and these programs should help you to identify them).  Then we can decide if they are really necessary and disable or remove those who are not needed and that might solve or at least reduce the startup problem.

    I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try other options.

    Good luck!

    Since my Razr has been updated to ICS, I struggled with Launcher Pro + working properly. It will force close, ask me if I want to use as default time and again, it will not download wigits, and it will run like quicksand. Sometimes it is fine (30%). More time for that, what I explained above.

    Almost ready to go to the use of the home interface.

    I did a full cache clear, but it did not help.

    I enjoy using LP + but not like that. He was a great pitcher before ICS and it is quite popular.

    Hi Mikey,

    as a first step, it would be good to know which model you have.

    Then we can compare it with other models and perhaps a driver XP modem to another model fits!

    The Control Panel must be open and go to the phone

  • My (not so great) experience with Premiere Pro & after effects CC 2015 after barely a day of use.

    Right off the bat, let me say that I wish that I had not being updated until 2015 CC this morning. I blame the hype and all the exciting videos, showing off the new features to deceive me in...

    After waiting more than an hour to install everything on my Mac at work, I fell quickly on the first question when continuing on a CC 2014 project in Premiere Pro. The project has had some 4K footage with clips made in them, who I pre-rendered for an obvious reason: smooth playback. Who had worked perfectly fine in CC 2014. But in 2015, CC, it didn't yet... at all. Reposting clips did not cause to run any tool path smoothing, nor did lower the playback quality, even at 1/16 of the resolution (while in 2014 CC that would be more than enough to cause a perfect playback).

    For the same project I also need to do some work in some After Effects comps. So I opened my project and immediately, I noticed that my keyboard pressings were not record 9 of 10 times. I don't think I have to explain why this is especially annoying (and why I went to pounding my keyboard with my fists...).

    As if this was not frustrating enough, mounting Panel started to act up and remained permanently in the foreground, whenever I started a RAM Preview (I use a Setup dual monitor and my editing panel occupies essentially the right monitor). There is no way to make any application to the foreground while RAM previewing, so I ended up having to drag my editing about Panel out of the screen.

    Also, is there a way to stop the new RAM made preview? I don't know it is because of the issue of keyboard or that there simply cannot stop, since the SPACEBAR and '0' on the numeric keypad does not a billion times another thing that frustrate me even more.

    To top it off, I had to also motion-track one, and you have probably guessed Cela has also worked like a charm! * Cough *. Follow-up went well, but as soon as I tried to stop the analysis and you press the stop button, After Effects simply crashed.

    So yes, it was about my day at work. How was yours?

    Allright,-all right, I'll get to the point; Where and how do I go back to CC 2014?

    I'm done trying to force on my eyeballs to the frustration, I'll give CC 2015 another chance when these problems are solved.

    Thank you

    Hi Daniel,.

    I've been looking around on the Forum and just found an easier way to do this via the updater of creative cloud itself:

    How to find and install a previous Version of Adobe Apps in CC 2015 | Adobe Customer Care Team

    The good thing is that I can now run the 2014 and 2015 versions without uninstalling one or the other.

    Thanks a lot for the tip and the response if!

    As for the issue of the first reading, I discovered that changing the rendering option in the project settings of the "GPU accelerated" for "software only" caused much less frame drops. This means that I can actually work with the 2015 first CC version! I'll stick however for now to the CC 2014 After effects version.

  • NTBackup issues with the network after MS10-020 shares

    After installing MS10 - 020 (KB980232), I found that a daily NTBackup job apears to be failed - there are a number of error messages in the newspaper (following excerpt to see) and the event log contains an indication of error of NTBackup.   The specific scenario that fails is to attempt to back up to a network share (via SMB) from a client on the local network.

    Environment:

    o file on a server/NT4 SP6 shares [I know... not supported]

    o all computers that are members of a NT4 domain [ibid.]

    o failure is the same on Win2K/SP4 and Windows XP/SP3 clients

    Notes:

    o the backup works fine with deleted KB980232

    o I have not tested with a file Win2K Server or an AD domain [I'd appreciate your feedback if anyone can verify that he is [or not] working in this environment]

    o the directories/files are all accessible from the client with or without KB980232 [which leads me to believe that the problem is really with NTBackup]

  • WLAN issues with Satellite Pro C50-A-1EL, Win8 64bits

    Hello

    I noticed a strange problem with this laptop WLAN card: it does not connect to the many points of commercial access (Netgear, Hamlet). OK the connection from a certain brands, (zyxel) but not TSF to others.

    I've already updated WLAN driver on Toshiba website, but nothing: often, it disconnects and then reconnects (maybe)

    I already changed my wifi channel by selecting the firmware the best channel available, update to access point but nothing: with some brands the C50 wlan is ok, with the other not.

    You have any ideas?

    Good bye

    > with some brands the C50 wlan is ok, with the other not.
    It seems that the aircraft had WB335 WLan Atheros 802.11bgn card.
    I think it depends on the standard WLan that is selected and used by the Access Point.
    As mentioned above, the WLan card supports the standard 802.11 b, G or N.

    I think you should check what WLan standard is used by the WLan router.

    802 11 B and G operation to 2, 4 GHz,
    802.11 N works 2, 4 GHz and 5 GHz, but only if 802.11 standard would be supported by the wireless network adapter. In your case, it s not picked up and therefore the standard 802.11 N would operate at 2.4 Ghz (20 MHz bandwidth).

    You can change the WLan standard in the properties of the WLan module.
    -> WLan card device manager-> properties-> Advanced tab
    Here you will find the various options.

    Also in the last tab power management, you must deselect the option which disables WiFi in order to save energy. So make sure that is not marked.

    Last but not least attention to the parameters of encryption like WEP, WPA (TKIP, AES, I, II).
    Different encryption settings can affect connectivity.

    Your choice of course, but in my opinion, you're playing with fire if you reinstall Windows properly.
