Hi,
I have 43 SVCHOST entries in my taskmanager. Yesterday there were 35. Eariler today there were 41. They seem to by multiplying as each moment passes.
I ran all the scans I was instructed to run on the 'first time users' page. Nothing turned up but a few cookies which I deleted.
I use Norton Internet Security which I update everyday and run a full scan each night.
I have 68-70 processes running on my computer at any given moment. This makes my computer run very slow. If I try to delete these SVCHOST entries, my computer turns itself off.
When I go into the Administrative Tools>Systems to see the full path, all of these SVCHOST's have a -k netsvcs after svchost.exe.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks.

Are you running Hijack this in safe mode, or have you used msconfig to change the programs that start up when rebooting your computer?

skip this step if you answer "NO" to the above queston.
If so please put all setting back to normal and run hijack this in normal mode. post the log with the next step if you did.

Please do this regardless of the answers above
Next, could you please do the following,

start hijack this, next click on the "misc tools" button, at the top hit generate startup list, make sure you check the two white boxes to the right of the button that say:

list also minor systems (full)
list empty sections (complete)

then post a copy of that log in your next reponse.

Hi zeplin51. I'm going to help out here a little. Can you please do the following:

Download rkfiles.zip and unzip it to its own permanent folder.

Important! Reboot in SAFE MODE !!

Start in Safe Mode Using the F8 method:
  • Restart the computer in Safe Mode.
  • As soon as BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until the Advanced Options menu appears.
  • Use the arrow keys to select the Safe Mode menu item.
  • Press the Enter key.
Locate the rkfiles.bat file and double-click it to run it. It will start scanning your computer and could take a little while so be patient. When the DOS window closes, reboot back to normal mode.

Post the contents of C:\log.txt back here and I will review it when it comes in.

Hi zeplin51.Some interesting results. The files found can be valid files but they should not be UPX packed. This normally means that they have been modified in some way. Here is what I would like to do now.

Go to the Jotti's malware scan page and use the buttons at the top of the page to browse to these files on your hard drive and submit them for a scan:C:\WINDOWS\system32\ExButton.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ExMenu.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ExPMenu.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ExTab.dll
C:\WINDOWS\browser.exe
C:\WINDOWS\tsc.exe
C:\WINDOWS\vsapi32.dll

Several scanning engines will be used to check the file for any threats. Please post the results of the scans back here.

Cheers.

Each time I scanned, all the scanner results were 'found nothing'.
Assuming you did not need this info over and over again, here are the results.

Hi zeplin51. Those files make me very suspicoius. They seem to be legitimately used for various types of handheld applicaitons (Palm, Pocket PC,iPaq etc). Do you have that type of software installed? Let's try uninstalling it for the time being and try a different scan, Those files might have been compromised.
  • Download FindQoologic2.zip save it to your Desktop.
  • Unzip Find-Qoologic2.zip to its own folder and then use Windows Explorer to navigate to that folder.
  • Double-click the Find-Qoologic2.bat file to run it. It will take some time so be patient.
  • When Notepad opens with the results in it copy/paste the entire contents of the document back here.
Also include a new rkfiles scan after uninstalling the handheld app if you have one.

Cheers.

I do not have a handheld app so nothing to uninstall. I have not included a new rkfiles scan due to this.

When I ran the Find-Qoologic2.bat file, I got to the first finish and then an error message popped up. The message follows:

C:\ WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
C:\ WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.

I first chose IGNORE but nothing happened. I then chose CLOSE and it took 7 attempts before the process could finish it's scan. The 7 CLOSE attempts brought up the following error message in the DOS window:

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

After 7 of these messages, the text window did open.
Here are the results of that text:

Hi zeplin51. Try this to correct the error you are receiving:

Download xp_fix.exe and install it.

Then please rerun the Find-Qoologic2.bat scan.

Cheers.

Hi zeplin51. Well, I don't see anything in any of the scans to indicate any type of infections at this point. Cn you give me a little background? Did you notice when this started happening? Did you recently install any new hardware or software at that time?

I am leaning toward a corruption in one of the operting system files and we can try a couple of things to verify that the current files are correct if need be.

Cheers.

Hi Old Timer,
The problem started shortly before I posted the original request. Maybe a week to ten days prior. I tried to do a few things that I thought I could do to fix it, mainly running scan programs for spyware.

Right around that time, I did find a BHO called EliteBar and removed it completely following directions from Norton.

My son downloads music off of LimeWire but he has been doing that for months with no problems. He does not and has not downloaded any programs or exe files. He is only interested in the music.

The only software that I have recently installed was FrontPage 2003. This is from a CD that I bought new and sealed from eBay.

I did have a couple problems with Norton causing conflicts with OutLook Express so I uninstalled and reinstalled from the Norton website. I do not have a disk so I downloaded fron the website but it is a licensed copy.

That is all I can think of.
Thanks,
zeplin51
