    AVG is detecting this and said something about C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe. I just ran Spybot, Adaware, CCleaner, and AVG.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    The report is an infection in the system restore folder ....which can only be removed by toggling system restore. If you suspect you have malware:

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions. If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    Note: If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can running steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:

    Looks good....let's do some cleanup from running the scans:

    First - Run thisDisable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

    Now Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.
    We will toggle system restore with the next set of instructions if you are not having any other issues.
