svchost reboot virus helppppp me

when i restore my acer aspire5920g to factory default
and started windows for first time. i deinstall norton with remove tool
the i installed bitdefender 2008 restart again.

bitdefender say theres a virus called svchost or something thats acting like reboot or rebootvirus.

and then bitdefender say your protected virus put in quaretine ,
press accept. but i could't choose a option to delete this virus

only in bitdefender says clean registry. but i think thats only for the reportlogs.
or scan logs of bitdefender.

later i get once again this pop up of bitdefender saying the virus try to multiply

what the ****. what can i do.

 

svchost.exe is part of Windows, it's not a virus. Make sure the detected file's name is not similar to svchost e.g ssvchost.exe, svchos.exe etc.

 

Actually FYI there is a virus that encodes its self as svchost.exe. The best way to tell is to first use a second scanner such as Asquared or Avast free. Then confirm but using Hijackthis and check through the logfile

 

Really? I've seen viruses that has name similar to svchost not the exact name...I didn't know that.

 

i gonna use hijack this and download avast .

i will let you know about this

thanks for your help

 

I cannot remember exactly but they I believe they change the first letter to a capital S or write the whole thing in Capitals... it is a growing trend with windows services

 

I have another question if i do a restore to factory default will it delete and erase all traces of spyware,adware and all viruses problems that was before on my acer aspire???

or not. if the viruses is still there after factory restore what shall i do.

 

Yes it should do that, for safety you could do a full format instead of quick format

 

flashlight27 , could you post HijackThis log here and also check the location of this all the SVCHOST entries in the task manager .

remember this : if its located in /windows/system32 then it is genuine , all others locations could be considered as Virus .

 

yes i will do that vinumsv yesterday i did not had time to fix it.

but today after work i gonna download hijjack this and put it here on the forum. i will let you know
thanks for you help everbody
