I have been battling sine June 26 on a pc xp sp3/2gb/250G - was using free and upgraded to professional version. Symptoms are:
runs ok for a day or so after cleaning, and then POW… something repaints pixels across bottom of start screen and I have my task manager open to kill svchost running 300+Mb and keeping system 100 busy. WHen I kill pocess machine returns to normal. Same problem, but AVAST has found and killed what it suggests as different issues each time. Win32:Malware-Gen is the latest find.
I moved it to my chest. I have turned off system restore and performed a boot scan, and then after complete, I turn system restore back on.
starting to try my patience… Has found Other:Malware-Gen, (Loaderx.class,google.class,f.class,email.class)Other:Malware-Gen, (execservice.class)Java:Agent-AR, and (6to4v32.dll)Win32:Malware-Gen, from July 30,2010 to present
Been very careful with surfing…
Same thing happens with svchost (the one performing Net services:Found this out from using Process Explorer from MS) going over 300M RAM and blacked out pixels across Start button and blue applications bar across bottom of screen.
PLS help! :o Thanks in advance for all your time in this matter, ;D
i had the same problem,i couldn’t even run malwarebytes,i formatted my pc and now i can run malware bytes and my pc is even better,dunno what was the problem,MAYBE you have too many viruses in your pc.download mbam( http://www.malwarebytes.org/ ) run a full scan to make sure that you’r pc is clean
install mbam,update,scan
i have no idea about hijackthislog
but this is weird, O23 - Service: WPEServ - Unknown owner - C:\Program Files\Common Files\WPE\wpeserv.exe
i googled it i saw results like : WPEServ eats the ram,maybe that’s why your pc is slow
