svchost.exe infected??
Hello...first off thank you very much in advance, to everyone who replies
and/or tries to help out Norton has been popping up its detected a virus... Backdoor.EggDrop The file infected is svchost.exe, i know this is a system critical file, which is why Norton doesnt have "access to the file" i'm assuming, so Norton is useless. I've tried everything I can think of. My friend tells me to delete svchost.exe, but i'm not sure that would be great for a critical file If anyone can help me out or anything here please let me know, this is kind of my last restort Thank you, Joe |

Well then, since that is the only way to remove the trojan, if it doesn't
work for you then you're looking at a complete reinstall. Take this as an opportunity to learn how to protect your computer. I actually use Norton Antivirus myself and have been since 1997. I have never had a virus on any of my computers. "Protect Your PC" www.microsoft.com/protect Ted Zieglar "EnigmaZ" wrote in message ... i tried that...

Hi,
I`m not sure, but I once remember there was some AV out there that you could run at boot, before windows even starts, so you could remove any virus`s that attached to active programs.

Norton did that to me I tried a different AV and love
it,last time the kids got me 4 at once trojans,Norton wouln't remove them,They had special umf biult in for Norton,I tried Computer Associates EZ-AV,also makers of ZoneAlarm.It removed it and has removed several more from online games that has came along,There scool friends were not so lucky,there Norton wouldn't remove them but my CA poped up has caught and has been removed will not open file and is turminating the program that it came in on.I love CA's EZ-AV and is worth a shot before a clean reinstall,it's free for a year,also comes with a free year of firewall if you select the lite version,if you can't navigate to it from the MS update page,hard for me to find used to be easier B4 SP2 here's the link for you to copy and paste http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...tect/windowsxp /antivirus.aspx it's the one free for a year,all you need is an E-Mail address to send the code to and from there it has a link to the download site.Have went to friends houses and have downloaded it for them and it gets rid of trojans that Norton won't.You'll have to remove Norton first or they conflict when they run,CA's got the removal tool you need on the link they send you.The longest I waited for them to send it to me is 5 minutes.Get it check for autoupdates and run it,You'll be happy if it works,and if it don't You can get your Norton back when you do your reinstall, that Rocky's talking about. -----Original Message----- Hello...first off thank you very much in advance, to everyone who replies and/or tries to help out Norton has been popping up its detected a virus...

You may have to go into the option,option wizard and
change the settings if it don't remove on the first scan from options wizard select delete instead of clean if it wont remove it.Also select the delete and replace boot sector thats infected.I also have it,most fortune 500 use it too.Computer Associates teaming up with Microsoft was a very good thing for computer users.I'm sure it'll remove them the first run thru.Just a thought tho have you tried internet options,,,delete files check box for all offline content,,,delete cookies,,,delete history--- then all programs---accessories---system tools---disc cleanup,,run it thru and remove everything EXCEPT for compress old files,,,then run your Norton again.If that dont work get the computer ass. AV you will like it. -----Original Message----- Norton did that to me I tried a different AV and love it,last time the kids got me 4 at once trojans,Norton wouln't remove them,They had special umf biult in for Norton,I tried Computer Associates EZ-AV,also makers of ZoneAlarm.It removed it and has removed several more from online games that has came along,There scool friends were not so lucky,there Norton wouldn't remove them but my CA poped up has caught and has been removed will not open file and is turminating the program that it came in on.I love CA's EZ-AV and is worth a shot before a clean reinstall,it's free for a year,also comes with a free year of firewall if you select the lite version,if you can't navigate to it from the MS update page,hard for me to find used to be easier B4 SP2 here's the link for you to copy and paste http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...otect/windowsx p /antivirus.aspx it's the one free for a year,all you need is an E-Mail address to send the code to and from there it has a link to the download site.Have went to friends houses and have downloaded it for them and it gets rid of trojans that Norton won't.You'll have to remove Norton first or they conflict when they run,CA's got the removal tool you need on the link they send you.The longest I waited for them to send it to me is 5 minutes.Get it check for autoupdates and run it,You'll be happy if it works,and if it don't You can get your Norton back when you do your reinstall, that Rocky's talking about. -----Original Message----- Hello...first off thank you very much in advance, to everyone who replies and/or tries to help out Norton has been popping up its detected a virus...

I got that one too.I was surfing this free site www.worldsex.com a link took me to a russian site with farm animals(I aint into that so I tried to X it out) Norton poped up your infected,why didn't it catch it before.The removale tool worked for me but I feel that shoulda been caught before it hit me Norton was too slow in catching it.When 2003 runs out next month I think I'm going to try that free one too I paid a lot of money to get a virus that i have 2 remove manually.And free is good. |

Just a thought E ,Have you tried AdAware?get it free from
www.download.com it can remove some trojans,it worked for me several times removing trojans.Get it check for updates Run a smart scan remove the problems if its a boot trojan,it will show uo cannot remove at this time can run and remove when windows restarts select yes and restart,AdAware runs before anything and it will remove them for you.Try that first.Also look into getting spybot search and destroy,and hijackthis while your there.They may come in handy when you go to remove the next time.I recomend running Ad-aware 2 times a week,I have 3 computers and run it every day on all 3.I have 2 teens that just love the online games.I've had dialers,this is a good one because I have cable,but if I didn't I would have a big phone bill.Ad Aware it's FREE get it and try that. -----Original Message----- Hello...first off thank you very much in advance, to everyone who replies and/or tries to help out Norton has been popping up its detected a virus...
