svchost.exe file in the /windows directory not system32
Anyone else able to help on this?
My issue is pretty much the same.... I have a svchost.exe file in the /windows directory (not system32, where it SHOULD be). All the usual virus/malware cleaning programs can't get rid of it (I've run Hitman Pro, Malware Bytes, and TDSS Killer). Malware Bytes is still finding it on quick scans and full scans.
The effect it is having on my computer is that it is not allowing the computer to see get on the internet. It will "see" my router, but it won't connect to the internet, or interact with the other 2 computers on my network.
The Farber Service Scanner results are:
Connection Status:
Localhost is accessible
LAN connected
Attempt to access (Google/Yahoo, etc...): unreachable
Other Services:
sharedaccess Service is not running. Checking service configuration:
The start type of shared access is set to Disabled
ImagePath of sharedaccess service is OK
The ServiceDll of sharedaccess service is OK
Since I cannot get online with that machine, it's very difficult to fix, having to download scanners/cleaners on my other computers, transfer them by USB drives or SD card to the infected machine, then take logs or whatever and move them back to the healthy machine to try to get help from experts. Any help you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
