486465 2006-09-21 13:14:00 When I reboot my Pc I get this message when the Pc comes back on ' windows cannot find 'syschost.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search. '.
Does anyone know what this, and how do I stop it, It's not affecting the Pc, just annoying me:)

486466 2006-09-21 23:05:00 It looks to be a trojan of some sort that has been partially removed.

www.sophos.com

From the looks of it, the trojan creates a registry key to start itself on bootup. You'll need to remove the key to stop the message coming up.

Start
Run
Type 'msconfig' & hit enter
Go to Startup tab
Find the link to syschost & uncheck it.

Almost forgot, make sure your virus scanner & spyware removers are up to date & run scans of your hard drive to make sure it's gone.

486467 2006-09-21 23:54:00 I think the virus and the legimate file look similar in file names. (but i forget which is which) just make sure you are not deleting the legitimate MS file. netchicken (4843)
486468 2006-09-22 02:40:00 'syschost.exe' is a Trojan.....

Download HijackThis (www.cyberanswers.org). It will create a directory folder for you in C\Program files. Run a scan and save the log file. Post the whole log file here. Do not fix anything since most of them listed there are harmless (some are system required).

486470 2006-09-23 01:10:00 Have "Hijack This" fix all the following items in the list below by placing a check in the appropriate boxes . Confirm that you have only the listed ones checked, then press <Fix checked> and Close HJT .

Delete the following red folder/s

C:\Program Files\Tronbar_Install



Download and scan with Ewido Anti-Spyware v4 . 0 ( . ewido . net/en/download/" target="_blank">www . ewido . net)
1 . After download, double click on the file to launch the install process .
2 . Choose a language, click "OK" and then click "Next" .
3 . Read the "License Agreement" and click "I Agree" .
4 . Accept default installation path: C:\Program Files\ewido anti-spyware 4 . 0, click "Next", then click "Install" .
5 . After setup completes, click "Finish" to start the program automatically or launch ewido by double-clicking its icon on your desktop or in the system tray .
6 . The main "Status" menu will appear . Select "Change state" to inactivate 'Resident Shield' and 'Automatic Updates' .
7 . Then right click on ewdio in the system tray and uncheck "Start with Windows" .
8 . Go to Start > Run and type: services . msc Press "OK" .
Click the "Extended tab" and scroll down the list to find ewido anti-spyware 4 . 0 guard .
When you find the guard service, double-click on it .
In the Properties Window > General Tab that opens, click the "Stop" button .
From the drop-down menu next to "Startup Type", click on "Manual" .
Now click "Apply", then "OK" and close the Services window . 9 . Select the "Update" button and click "Start update" . If you are having problems with the updater, manually update with the Ewido Full database installer from here ( . ewido . net/ewido-signatures-full-current . exe" target="_blank">download . ewido . net) .

Once the updates are installed do the following:
1 . Click on the "Scanner" button and choose the "Settings" tab .
Under "How to act?", click on "Recommended actions" and choose "Quarantine" to set default action for detected malware .
Under "How to Scan?" check all (default) .
Under "Possibly unwanted software" check all (default) .
Under "What to Scan?" make sure "Scan every file" is selected (default) .
Under "Reports" select "Automatically generate report after every scan and UNcheck "Only if threats were found" . 2 . Click the "Scan" tab to return to scanning options .
3 . Click "Complete System Scan" to start .
4 . When the scan has finished you will be presented with a list of infected objects found . Click "Apply all actions" to place the files in Quarantine .

IMPORTANT! Do not save the report before you have clicked the Apply all actions button . If you do, the log that is created will indicate "No action taken", making it more difficult to interpret the report . So be sure you save it only AFTER clicking the "Apply all actions" button?

5 . Click on "Save Report" to view all completed scans . Click on the most recent scan you just performed and select "Save report as" - the default file name will be in date/time format as follows: Report-Scan-20060620-142816 . txt . Save to your desktop . A copy of each report will also be saved in C:\Program Files\ewido anti-spyware 4 . 0\Reports\
6 . Exit Ewido when done and submit the log report in your next response .

486472 2006-09-23 13:51:00 I just rebooted and still got the same message 'windows cannot find 'syschost.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly. To search for a file, click the start button, and then click search'.:confused:
I was wondering, could this be a Registry Key that needs deleting?
and if so, how would I go about locating it?
Thanks for all your help Pancake, I really do appreciate it:thumbs:
