I know thats a loopback used by antivirus software. How do I stop it from resetting to that everytime i reboot the computer?

Get rid of McAfee and get AVG anti virus instead - it's free and doesn't do half the background crap that McAfee does.

I would go and download the free trial of McAfee Anti Virus from Mcafee.com.  It's the best virus software out there, in my opinion.  That sounds like a better idea to me than trying to remove it yourself.  If you accidentally delete an important system file you have problems out the caboose.

ctrl+h ... if theyre deleting history then get a keylogger and put it on the machine ... make an exception for it in any antivirus or antispyware apps so it doesnt get picked up ...set it to be hid and it will keep a log of everything ..

i got a virus that did that. not harmful to the rest of the system but annoying. update your anti-virus and run a scan.

It sounds like the program is in use by the system and won't go away while the drivers are in use. Try restarting in "safe" mode and then remove the program.

What did you use to get rid of that virus?  I have the same thing and my symantec is not working.  It keeps popping up.

It could be a virus that is changing you system restore point.  Check it out.

This is the easiest and best way to stop this annoyance Start>Run then type in msconfig and hit enter when system configuration utility opens click on the startup tab and uncheck the box next to Bt help notifier,  then apply changes and restart your computer. If you need further help e-mail me...........Oh by the way the help notifier is useless anyway so by stopping it at startup you are also saving resources.

You have remnants of a trojan here, possibly isearch toolbar. Take a look at this: http://www.fileresearchcenter.com/M/MSCHKSYS.EXE-6330.html\n\nFirst use the antivirus and antispyware software you have to run a full system scan. Do it in the windows safe mode. (AVG and avast antivirus softwares are free while a 6 month free trial for Norton is available at pack.google.com. Lavasoft's free Ad-Aware is the best antispyware to my knowledge. Also Windows Defender from Microsoft is good enough for real-time protection). This should identify the problem and most probably would solve it as well. However, if the antivirus software is unable to delete the malware, go to Norton's website and search for the name of the malware detected. Their must be some instructions posted to tackle the problem. You might have to delete the system restore points and as well delete the particular registry entries manually if the virus still regenerates on subsequent boot up of the machine. Good Luck.\n\nPS. If you are still having trouble, use Hijack This and copy the log it generates and post it on some tech help forum. I am sure there will be plenty of people ready to help you out.

There is a yellow symbol in your tray that looks like a badge and that symbol is part of Microsoft platform.  It will show in the tray as yellow when there is a critical update if you have auto updates checked off for Microsoft.  It will turn red if you have turned off any of your security. \n\nIf you are talking about a different box saying "Windows Installer", you have a virus in your system.  \n\nHope that you use an antivirus program.  If so run the program and see if it will go away.  If not "restore your system".\n\nIf you have no antivirus at all, you can download an excellent free antivirus program from http://www.avast.com  They are out of Prague.  And they have an excellent background scanner that really works and would catch any virus embedded in a webpage in real time and destroy it before the virus can enter your system.  Plus you get auto updates two or three times per day. \n\nThis program for sure will remove the virus you have described.\n\nJust remember that you can only run one antivirus program, or you wil have serious conflict with your system.  You can run three or four antispyware programs without any conflict. \n\nI use this progam an never had one virus in over nine years. \n\nSome one suggested you use SpyBot Search & Destroy.  The owner is a personal friend out of Germany.  Friend or no friend I would not use this antispyware program.  Not because he and his students in their University designed the program, because it finds nothing but a few cookies and always "NOS".   Plus the scanner likes to freeze up on you.     \n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France.

Thats a bad virus. It masks your SVC host and also will mask any anti-virus program you may have. Ive only encountered this virus once and unfortunately it was on my computer. Took em almost 72 hours to get rid of it. It infects your system with various trojan downloaders and worms. I will tell you how to get rid of it strp by step.\n\n1 step.  Unplug your internet connection from the back, It accesses the internet and connects to an irc bot. Once it connects to irc bot it will non stop start sending you trojans and worms.\n\n2nd step. Restart your labtop and boot it in safe mode. Make sure there is no connection to the internet. I cannot emphasis this enough.\n\n3rd Step. Im assuming you have access to another computer since you posted, so you will need to download a program called "Hijack This" and burn it on a disk. Also you will need a copy of a virus software, if you dont have the disk for your current anti-virus the download a free anti-virus such as avg.\n\n4th step. Start your labtop in safe mode. Once its up install program hijack this, do not run anti-virus software till you run Hijack This. Run the program and it will bring up the process's that are infected. Note you will see svchost as being infected and it will warn you about deleting the process. Its ok cause its a cloned svchost. Delete all that is infected.\n\n5th step. After you complete hijack this it will give you a prompt asking you to restart your computer. DO NOT RESTART IT. at this point what you want to do is run avg or your anti-virus program. Now you will see a ton of trojans and worms. You must write the path of the infected files down so have a pad ready. No it will ask if you want to quaratine and delte the infected files. You can say yes or no , regardless they will not delete. Thats why you must right the path down. After your done writting the paths down restart the computer.\n\n6th step. Find the files that are infected make sure you booted in safe mode. Then manually delete these files.\n\n7th Step. type in the run menu "msconfig" that will bring up a screen go to tab labled start up. Stop the process from auto run at start up the process named WINDLL.32.EXE and also uncheck the process called js232.exe.\n\nAfter that then plus your internet connection restart your computer. now before you bring your internt explorer up. Go into the internt options and reset your home page. Example www.google.com/

may be you need to try to uninstall your antivirus then try reinstalling it. it should help your problem.

Although this is not what I would consider "typical" spyware behavior, it certainly has that ring---A file reappearing with no warning is in the right ballpark.\n\nRun a thorough Spyware check with at least two trusted tools, along with a complete virus scan.  For Spyware, the Y! Toolbar uses Pest Patrol, which is adequate, and you can get two good freeware programs (Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D) from a TRUSTED place like http://www.download.com/\n\nThat would be where I would start, but it could be something less nefarious like a malfunctioning program that starts at boot-up.  Either way, best of luck!  Hopefully it's nothing more than a nuisance.

Try to boot into Safe Mode (hit F8 before Windows XP boots normally), then the virus probably isn't awoken, and disable the startup entry by using msconfig. You can also perform a virus scan because you have better chance your anti virus program will find it.\n\nEDIT: coincidently rj c says the same ;-)

I use AVG. If you know you have a virus you should turn off system restore, restart your computer in safe mode (windows xp) and then scan and don't forget to update your anti-virus definitions. An online scanner you can use is http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

You might have to delete the system restore points and as well delete the particular registry entries manually if the virus still regenerates. \n\nBetter still, if you are still having trouble, use Hijack This and copy the log it generates and post it on some tech help forum (Castle Cops have dealt with it earlier). I am sure there will be plenty of people ready to help you out.
