    svchost.exe virus respawning


    The file

    C:\windows\svchost.exe

    keeps respawing.. Malwarebytes says it is a virus, and removes it, but if I reboot (or just sit there for a few minutes) it respawns and is back..!

    How can I delete it for good? or find the process that creates it so I can stop it?
