My PC - Virused again?

I believe it was 2-3 weeks ago when I had to reformat my PC because of Conficker/Kido sad.gif

 

Anyway, in this time, Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 didn't detect any virus on my pc but some fake alarms for CLEO GXTHook as Win32.AutoRun.

 

Now, Kaspersky detected "Heur.Trojan.Win32.Generic" in one of the applications which were actually batches transformed into .exes. Problem is, I said one application: Designer's Security 1.0.

 

And, looking in the task manager, I see 2 3 svchost.exes - one from the SYSTEM, another one from LOCAL AREA, and the last from NETWORK.

 

I ran Kaspersky's Kido Remover, didn't detect anything.

 

Now I'm running a full system scan, and it detected other Heurs in System Volume Information.

 

So my pc is virused again...

 

Will I have to reformat again? I have very important data on it cryani.gif

Don't you get an option to quarantine or delete the file when it alerts you of the trojan? Try quarantining it. If you can't, delete it.

 

If you still can't get rid of it, there is a manual method which is kind of user specific. To obtain that manual fix, ask for help over here: http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showforum=19

The moderators at the Kaspersky forum will help you out.

Well, it automaticly quarantined them.

 

So it seems I got rid of them, but problem is - I hope they won't come back confused.gif

 

But is it normal to have 2 3 svchost.exe running at the same time?

Yep, perfectly normal. I have the exact three you mentioned running right now.

So:

- no more Heurs

- no other viruses

- perfectly normal svchosts

 

Can that be called that my PC is safe? colgate.gif

Hmm? I have 5 svchost.exe 2 on system, 2 Network Service and 1 for local service. But I don't think my PC has virus because I always monitor my PC health confused.gif

 

It's normal! smile.gif

When it finds something in System Volume Information that means System Restore files. Simple fix is to disable System Restore, then do the full scan and fix anything it finds, then if you really want to you can enable System Restore again.
