| 764874 | 2009-04-14 07:00:00 | svchost is a windows file svhost.exe isnt (notice there's no C in the 2nd file) Yes, svchost is legitimate whilst svhost is a nasty worm...If you try to kill the svchost process it won't allow you to since it is a system file.. |

| 764875 | 2009-04-14 07:03:00 | There is a very big difference between svhost.exe and svchost.exe. svchost is a Windows process and it is normal to have several instances of this running. svhost is a virus process that tries to fool users by having a very similar name to a common Windows process. |

| 764876 | 2009-04-14 07:20:00 | Sorry everyone. That was my fault. It is a svchost.exe file that has to close usually at the beginning of log on | nzjab06 (101) | ||
| 764877 | 2009-04-14 07:43:00 | I would get rid of Nortons, then install Avast Home (free) or NOD32 (If you want to pay for it). Update it then scan In the meantime, get trojan remover update it then scan. Its below. Then select all options under utilities. svchost can also get infected. And post a hijackthis log, its below as well. May pay to disable system restore |
