SvcHost.exe using high bandwidth

Welcome to Major Geeks!

We don't need or want Hijackthis logs. You need to attach logs from the below tools that were requested in our cleaning procedure in order for us to provide you proper support:

• SUPERAntiSpyware
• Malwarebytes
• ComboFix
• RootRepeal
• MGtools

 

You need to attach the requested log from running MGtools. It is not what you attached. See the procedure. It asked you to attach C:\MGlogs.zip

 

Based on your logs it does not appear that you are having malware problems. It may just be what you are running. I will give you a few things to try inorder to attempt finding out what may be the root cause.

First uninstall the below:
æTorrent
Ask Toolbar

Then immediately reboot your PC.

After reboot see if your problem has gone away. If it has not, then uninstall the below:
Avast
Comodo Dragon
Comodo GeekBuddy

Then again reboot your PC and see what you status is. No matter what happens continue with the below and do not reinstall anything we have uninstall ( at least not yet ). Do not continue with the below unless you have uninstall everything listed above.



Now we need to use ComboFix

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
  • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
• If ComboFix tells you it has expired or need to be updated to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box into it:

• Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
• At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
• You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
• Follow the prompts.
• When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
• I will ask for this log below

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

If after running Combofix you discover none of your programs will open up because you recieve the following error: Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion then you will need to reboot your computer which will normally fix this problem.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).


Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

No it isn't.

Is svchost.exe showing as always using all of your CPU time or is it only when you click on things or run programs. Like when you open your browser for just one example. If it is just a temporary observation while you are actively using your PC, then you need to ignore it.
