svchost.exe virus

I’ve been infected with an svchost.exe virus that is making svchost usage shoot through the roof after a few minutes of logging in. This is the second time I’ve been infected with such a virus but all the things I did last time to clear it up aren’t working. Between Avast (That to put it bluntly let this virus in twice), Microsoft security essentials, Malware Bytes, Cccleaner, esat online scanner and the Windows Malicious software remover, nothing seems to clear it out (only stuff started by the virus itself). I also have process explorer and that isn’t showing anything unusual either

I’m running Windows XP and I keep getting an Avast alert with 199.80.55.19 and pointing to the svchost.exe file

I’ve completely lost my patience for this whole thing so any help would be great

Are you sure you are infected and your problem is not a conflict of softwares or another windows problem?
If any software detected a malware, can you name them?

Soul Tsukino,

There is only one other thread that I can find on the forum, and seems that maybe essexboy will need to help.
Seems something is using svchost to call home…
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=72125

Are there any detections in from the other tools you have run?

Just a side note, do you have avast and MSE installed at the same time?
This isn’t advised and could cause issues in the long run.

@ Soul Tsukino
Well svchost is as the name implies a service host and is most likely being misused by another function, either undetected or hidden (by a rootkit), this could be a trojan downloader.

In this case, fortunately the network shield is usually quite good at blocking access to the malicious site. See image, click to expand of the location of that IP address, does it ring any bells ?
Though the only time svchost should connect as far as I’m aware is for windows update.

So given all of the other tools you have thrown at this appears to come up clean, e.g. ‘nothing seems to clear it out,’ presumably because they didn’t find anything ?
If they did what was it ?

Notably you you mention MSE, if that is also installed on your system with avast, that in itself could be causing issues, duplication of scanning, possible conflict, etc.

Having two resident scanners installed is one too many and not recommended as rather than provide twice the protection it can cause conflicts that could leave you more vulnerable.

Honstly I uninstalled Avast for a long time after it began letting antivirus 2010 and similer viruses into mysystem and went with MSE. However MSE decided to start letting in viruses after a while to so they seem to actually work when they are both running.

Sorry but hijackthis is virtually worthless now as so many malware variations can avoid it and it doesn’t look in areas were malware hides.

Add to that it hasn’t had any development in years, so a security application has to be maintained to keep pace with developments, otherwise it is worthless.

So I would advise going to essexboy’s post and start with OTS, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=72125.msg601861#msg601861.

However MSE decided to start letting in viruses after a while to so they seem to actually work when they are both running.
Never install two antivirus (see reply from quietman7) http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/index.php?s=7c8217673a726b92cfc91ecfd4294a29&showtopic=260844&view=findpost&p=1441638

http://www.freedrweb.com/cureit/?lng=en

is your XP up to date? because I have seen this behaviour on a previously infected computer which was cleaned. svchost.exe was “eating” all of the CPU, rendering the computer almost useless. scaning with several tools (besides avast) showed nothing. I brought XP up to date and the problem was gone.

If malware was created svchost, update will not help. HJT can not show this malware.

And yes, those are legit addresses. Godaddy was having a sale on .info addresses at the time.

Also here are the pop ups I’m getting from Avast.

First is a delete warning that has: MBR://physicaldrive 0

The other is a “suspicious” warning that has a bunch of: ??C:.…{10bc73c-cd25-411D- followed by a: .\physicaldrive0 mbr:TD4
