@iamtulpin guess ur infected.. am not sure which virus..

but svchost.exe is a virus.. plz download this and run a check from a secure location
Stinger

this will find the viruses and take care of it.. after that do this..

Start->regedit

there navigate to Hkey_local machine\softwares\microsoft\windows\current version\run

there del any values stating SVCHOST (also run once)

do the same thing in Hkey_currentuser\softwares\microsoft\windows\current version\run
(also run once) will update as soon as i get more info..

yup buddy u guessed rite.... was with HP/Compaq Desktops/Laptops nd then on to netgear wireless devices....

 

[grinning_devil]

@iamtulipin: try this out....restart in safe mode,uninstall ur antivirus application,restart nd install back the scanner....looks like it wont do much but a frnd of mine had his svchost error fixed by this unusual way!!

@grinn : lemme make another guess : sutherland and slashsupport ?

 

[prathap_lab]

svchost

svchost.exe is not a virus. it is just a process of windows running in background.

@grinn : lemme make another guess : sutherland and slashsupport ?

hmmm so making guesses by looking at call centres which handle HP???
well iam @delhi,so u'll have to make another wild guess!!

 

[klinux]

@grin : nah , thought netgear was supported only by slash support so thought u were in chennai . hows the call center market and openings there ?

 

[bharathbala2003]

@prathap only the SVCHOST tat is in the process menu is needed.. not a SVCHOST.exe that loads in startup and has reg keys in the location i said.. if u have errors saying SVCHOST.exe not loaded like in the above error msgs it means u r affected..

 

[club_pranay]

update to sp2, and run a full spyware scan

see here and u'll know what i mean

@klinux, the opening s r just too many,nyone thats efficient in medium level troubleshooting,have a nice fluency in english will go thru easily...

me having rest now-a-days,will chek out microsoft,they have a hude building coming up in gurgaon,infact the structure is complete,dont know whether they have started the process....
