before i post. yeah i know its a double post its just an epic update.

ok so i decided to disconect my laptop from the internet.

just to find one thing out

I DO HAVE A VIRUS

thats kicks for the idea on kaspersky.

svchost.exe - "use DNS function for hidden sending of data to the network address"

sites its trying to connect to:
4455pred33.com
fgorknazgaz.com

im guessing its a keylogger

and when i try ending the task it just gives me a shutdown in 1 min screen. silly little 5 y.o. trojan

also. C:windows/system32/drivers/svchost.exe.
not delete-able (and yes im computer admin)
created on 1/14/09 (date i got it)


now.....just how do i get rid of it.......other then xp re-install

DO _NOT_ DELETE SVCHOST.

It's a vital system process. Deleting that will need a reinstall.

Yea When I build Computers & install the operating system WinXP/WinVista & Finishing  with the drivers, SVCHOST was a Common in the Process Tree... If that is indeed Bad Microsoft Has a lot of questions they need to answer.

It's a vital system process, I myself have 13 instances of it running.
Each one, a separate entity. svchost does SO many different things.
