SVCHost.exe Virus help needed
« on: January 26, 2010, 10:23:43 AM »
Hi. I'm having some trouble with an SVCHost infection on my pc :'(.
Here is a screenshot of what AVG Free says when detecting in during scan.
It asks me to reboot which I have done, but does not remove the virus.
It's started installing itself on my removable drives, which I need for school work.

Thanks in advance
James  ;D

      WHY DID YOU POST A URL THAT INFECTS?

      At least put some bold around the bit about that or some guy might just click it...

      I've mannaged to sort it using just the detailed scan on SUPERAntiSpyware Free. AVG is picking it up clean. Thanks for your time, everyone.

      Thanks
