svchost issue


Recommended Posts

Hello:

I use Malwarebytes Premium and have an infection which the software can't seem to remove.

I did read the FAQs and saw this:

"Download DDS from here: dds.scr or here: dds.com and save it to your desktop."

However, my system issues will not allow dds.scr to run, so I am afraid I can't post those results.

I had a series of Trojan infections which MWB seemed to fix. However, I get a message saying "svchost.exe" is causing some sort of problem and must be quarantined. I choose that option. However, I know have security updates from Microsoft which apparently require svchost in order to install, because I get a MS error code indicating svchost is blocked and therefore the update isn't ocurring.

Adding insult to injury, I get a blue screen every other day or so, and Windows Defender (MS free product) tells me I have the Trojan "Alureon" but it can't remove it. MWB's doesn't show that same problem.

I would certainly appreciate any assistance. I've backed up all my files as I fear a total hard drive wipe may be necessary.

Thank you

Hello and welcome to Malwarebytes

If you think you are infected, here are the steps needed to get your computer cleaned....

Please read the following so that you can begin the cleaning process:

IMPORTANT: Don't use any temporary file cleaners unless requested - this can cause data loss and make recovery difficult

You have 3 Options that you can choose from as listed below:

  • Option 1 —— Free Expert advice in the Malware Removal Forum
  • Option 2 —— Paying customer -- Contact Support via email
  • Option 3 —— Premium, Fee-Based Support

OPTION 1

As we don't deal with malware removal in the General Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Forum, you need to start a topic in the

Malware Removal forum so a qualified helper can help you fix any malware related problems/infections you may have.

  • Please read and follow the directions >>Right HERE<<, skipping any steps you are unable to complete.
  • After posting your new post, make sure under options, you select Track this topic and choose Immediate Email Notification,
    so that you're alerted when someone has replied to your post.

NOTE: Please do not post back to (bump) your topic within the first 48 hours.

Replying to your own posts changes the post count and helpers are looking for topics with zero replies.

If you reply to your own post helpers may think that you're already being helped and thus overlook your post.

  • If there is no reply from any experts after 48 hours, you can reply to the topic, asking for help again.
    Or
  • You may send a Private Message to a Moderator asking for assistance.

OPTION 2

Alternatively, as a paying customer, you can contact the help desk by filling out the form located >>Right HERE<<

OPTION 3

If you would like to use our Malwarebytes Premium Services, Comprehensive solutions to all your computer support needs—from installation and set-up to troubleshooting and tune-ups go to our Malwarebytes Premium Services support site >>Right HERE<<

Please be patient, someone will assist you as soon as possible.

PS: Please use the "Reply to this Topic" or "More Reply Options" buttons (instead of the “Quote” and “MultiQuote” buttons) when replying here & at the other forums. That will make your topic easier to follow. :)
