Red face SVCHOST.EXE causing lots of problems - can I use another users fix?
Hi

This is my first post so please excuse me if I'm asking anything daft.

I keep getting a svchost.exe error followed by either :

0x75606eb5 or 0x7c9108b3 or 0x76f6122e.

coming up on my computer at different times. It seems to be when I go on the net, however I am getting a host of other problems as well.

They are in fact identical to another users problems -

http://forums.techguy.org/malware-re...ion-error.html,

however, not wanting to muck up my computer for good, I wasn't sure whether or not I could follow the solution you gave to that problem ( using combifix).

If I'm safe in using that solution, then fantastic, if not, then please please please can you help me.

The other problems I'm getting are :

My system seems to struggle doing 2 things at once ( a bit like me according to my wife!)
All sounds have disappeared, apart from error and startup sounds.
IE freezes, or takes an age trying to close a window.
My task manager does not work, which is annoying when you want to try and stop the freezing!
I can't use windows update either manually or automatically.

I've run antivir scans, which found a few viruses, I've run spyware, but nothing seems to fix the problem.

I'm tearing my hair out, and would appreciate your help.

I've downloaded the hijak app, and it gave me all this

Genuinely looking forward to hearing from you soon

Hi, Welcome to TSG!!

Sorry you have waited so long for assistance.

How old is the computer and how much ram does it have?


Download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
  • Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
  • Under Main choose: Select All
  • Click the Empty Selected button.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.




Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here.

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
  • Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
  • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  • Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.
Extra Note:

If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediatly.

Hi, and big thanks for the reply.

However, I've got a problem.

ATF Cleaner stage is done and completed, but MBAM will not run, no matter what I try.

It downloads fine, but will not run either from the download itself, or from the desktop. I've tried putting it in different drives on the system, tried disabling current antivirus etc, but nothing seems to work.

Is it a bad link, or is my computer fighting the thing that's trying to help it??

I've had the comp about 4/5 years by the way, and it's apparently got 512 of ram in it. It runs like it's got 5.12 though !! CPU usage goes to 100% when one application is opened !!

I await your help and suggestions, and I'll keep trying in the meantime.

Many thanks

Jon

IGNORE LAST POST

I've renamed the MBAM file as 'jon' and it ran.

Stand by for log report.

Cheers

The P2P programs you have installed expose you to risks because of the nature of the P2P file sharing process. File sharing/P2P programs rely on members giving and gaining unrestricted access to computers across the P2P network. This practice can make you vulnerable to data and identity theft. It also exposes you to very malicious worms and trojans. You change those risky default settings to a safer configuration but the act of downloading files from an anonymous source greatly increases your exposure to infection.

I suggest you go to add/remove programs and remove all P2P programs from your machine!




You need to clean out the Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail folders to remove all of the infected files.



Please download the OTM by OldTimer.
  • Save it to your desktop.
  • Please double-click OTM.exe to run it.
  • Copy all the lines in the quote box below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy):

    Quote:
    :Files
    C:\Documents and Settings\Jon\Local Settings\Temp\tmp1521.tmp
    D:\Kathryn\kathryn's music\13.03.09\jon allen - greatest hits.wma
    D:\Kathryn\kathryn's music\13.03.09\jon allen.mp3
    D:\Kathryn\kathryn's music\All Tunes\jon allen - greatest hits.wma
    D:\Kathryn\kathryn's music\All Tunes\jon allen.mp3
    D:\Kathryn\kathryn's music\Eternal\salvation army christmas - greatest hits.wma
    D:\Prog Stuff\Digital play\areslite181.exe
    D:\RECYCLER\S-5-9-99-100022251-100024658-100005233-4384.com
    D:\Unused files and folders\Prog Dload\areslite181.exe
    D:\Unused files and folders\Prog Dload\setup_ares.exe

  • Return to OTM, right click in the "Paste Instructions for Items to be Moved" window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
  • Click the red Moveit! button.
  • Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar) to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it in your next reply.
  • Close OTM
Note: If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes. In this case, after the reboot, open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and copy/paste the contents of that document back here in your next post.


Restart the machine and post a new hijackthis log. Let me know if you are having any problems.
