windows/system32/svchost start up issue

I am currently experiencing issues regarding the subject issue. When i turn my laptop on avast warns me a threat has been detected and verifies it has blocked the infection. It lists windows/system32/svchost as the problem. I have run avast and malwarebytes which pick up problems and clean my PC however when i start my PC up again the same thing happens. My PC seems to run ok outside of this issue. Is this a serious problem or am i just even more useless with computer software than i realised. Pease please help me if you can???

follow instructions here https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
attach Malwarebytes and Farbar Recovery Scan Tool logs

Monitoring.

should i post the logs in this topic?

Please attach the logs :slight_smile:

Under the textbox you click on " Attachments and other options ".

Greetz, Red.

Normally I prefer posting of the logs as copy-paste but logs are generally too big to post hence post them as attachment.

malwarebytes found no threats however avast still blocks an infection on start up. errr

here is the farbar log

There should be an Additions.txt log as well :slight_smile:

Greetz, Red.

no additions txt log. unless i need the premium version?

farbar info

It will produce [b]two logs[/b] called [b]FRST.txt[/b] and [b]Additions.txt [/b]in the same directory the tool is run from. Please attach both [b]FRST.txt[/b] and [b]Additions.txt[/b] logs that are generated.

I am talking about the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool.
Did you select " Addition.txt " ? ( see screenshot below )

Greetz, Red.

apologies. here it is.

How is your PC?

its working again but avast warned me twice about a blocked infection

Hello Wooky. Question buddy? After you ran Avast and then Malwarebytes, did you Reboot your System? You can also Try a “Clean Boot.” Try-That…Go to Start, Run, and Type in msconfig. Then Stop all-services and Then after she comes on again Start up Windows “Normally.” See if that does anything,ok? Michael
