Hello everyone,

As the title says, i have a little problem with svchost.exe (which could also be the bitcoin miner).

 

Kaspersky found something in C:\Windows\temp\svchost.exe around one month ago. I tried to fix it but it came back after every restart. As it did nothing to my pc and as it was called svchost.exe i thought that it is a mistake of Kaspersky.

 

My gpu is on 100% while idling. As i had a bitcoin mining virus before, i rememberred the same symptom and did some things:

 

Combo fix: I ran it once and it seemed to fix my problem until i restartet.

 

Kaspersky: Was unable to do anything but recognise the virus. I tried the secure Disc but it couldn't get rid of the virus.

 

Malwarebytes: It found two svchost.exe and two lsass.exe. But because it needs a restart and my pc was unable to shut down, nothing happened. I ran it again later in secure mode and the restart was possible. It seems like it solved the problem but Kaspersky still tells me there is svchost.exe in my temp folder.

 

RogueKiller, HitmanPro and ESETPoweliksClean... didn't work.

 

When i run Combofix my gpu usage goes down and everything seems to be normal but i have no internet connection and when i restart it's like i never ran combofix.

 

 

 

Could anyone please help me to fix this problem so that it doesn't start again in a month.

Thank you for those logs, unfortunately they do indicate illegal software installed and active on your system. That is a direct breach of Forum protocol, I cannot offer any further help, your thread will be closed and locked shortly.

If any further advice/help is needed you will have to contact a forum moderator....

 

Thank you,

Is AutoKMS, unfortunately you will have to take this to a moderator for advice. I am a volunteer and also tied with forum protocol. We cannot offer help when such software is on your system. I guess Microsoft would take not be very happy with Malwarebytes forum if we are seen to help when that software is installed and active...

 

Thank you for your understanding,

 

Kevin...

Nevermind

 

I will reinstall Windows as it is the safest for the future and because i only have a few games, so it's not a big deal

 

Could you please close or delete this topic, as it's not needed anymore.

Thank you for your time.
