svchost.exe trojan.agent removal help!


Recommended Posts

A quick scan from MalwareBytes Pro detects 2 items - Trojan.Agent, both in c:\windows\svchost.exe (one is a file, the other is a memory process). I select the option to remove them and reboot right away, but after the reboot, I perform another scan and they are both detected again.

Any chance someone can help me get rid of this thing? Thanks in advance!
