conhost.exe

[bjorn1805]

Hello,

first of all: i'm new here, so i hope i'm in the correct section.

So i have windows xp, and since a few days, i have problems with conhost.exe. I always appears in the map c:\windows\temp.

I tried to remove it with malware, and he did remove it, but it always keeps coming back.

I tried to clean my registry, but it still returns.

i cleaned my registry a couple off times, and did several scans, but it always returns.

I noticed that my computer works fine as long as i don't go on the internet. But from the moment i go online, i have problems.

It uses a lots of memory, completely ruins my registry and mess with other programs. I don't have an explorer anymore, it won't start.

Could anyone please help me to remove this stubborn thing.

Sorry for my english, i know it isn't perfect.

Sure, if you're running Windows 7. The guy is running Windows XP and I can verify that it is a pain since one of my users has been infected too. 'System' files should never run from c:\windows\temp.

OPTION 1

As we don't deal with malware removal in the

, you need to start a topic in the

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

• Please read and follow the
  directions here
  , skipping any steps you are unable to complete. Then post a
  NEW topic here

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.
