    Virus in Svchost


    For a while now I have been having an issue with svchost.exe. I am running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware with the local protection. When I have the protection enabled it tells me that svchost.exe is trying to connect to an unsafe IP and it blocks it, however when MBAM blocks it, it blocks my internet connection almost completely so I have to disable it to be able to browse the internet. MBAM has not found anything during any scans, neither does Avast! nor AVG (when I had it installed). I also have Spybot S&D and it hasn't found anything either. I uploaded svchost to Virus Totals and the only one that found anything is eSafe and it is saying that svchost is infected with "Win32.TrojanHorse", a rather vague result.

    I did some searches online and the first result sent me here to a thread that was locked for someone not using a legal copy of Windows (good policy by the way :)) and it was not resolved. Just so you know I AM using a legal copy of windows.

    Well, since svchost.exe is a Windows process, it wouldn't be smart to tamper with it... but there is hope.

    Have a look at this tutorial brought to you by Brink. (not the new game) ::

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    I'd definitely recommend running the System File Checker, as it will replace modified Windows files/processes with the original ones.

    [If some sort of malware did attach itself to the svchost.exe file, running SFC should be able to fix it.]

    -------

    Did you know: svchost.exe/Service Hosts control several of the core components of your computer. Most everything, from your Audio Drivers to your Network Card, can fail if one of the svchost.exe processes shut down/terminate.

    You can monitor what processes are calling out, and where, using the netstat command. Open an advanced command prompt:

    Start> Type cmd in search box> Right click on cmd.exe in results above and choose Run as administrator> Type

    netstat -bn

    Enter

    This will start monitoring.

    You can also create a text file of the monitoring:

    Open the advanced command prompt as above, then type:

    netstat -bn 5 >> C:\connections.txt

    This command will run with five-second intervals until stopped. It will save a log to C:\connections.txt. To stop the monitoring, Press Ctrl+c

    Or, an easier method is using a Program called TCPEye, which will do the same thing in a GUI format.
