Hi there,\n\nYes there are many malicious files under the name of services.exe.\n\nTake a look at this list:\nhttp://fileinfo.prevx.com/filesearch.asp?Sort=B&Filesearch=services.exe\n\nIf you think you're currently infected with one of these files, the best and easiest way to remove this is by installing the Free Trial of Prevx1.  This will scan your PC and remove this and any other infections free of charge.\nhttp://www.prevx.com\n

MY experiences with scv host is that it always sends out messages. Im not sure its much to worry about but you should probably get someone more experienced to confirm this. You could try and check with a spyware detector or something.\n\nAlso if you dont like the idea of it running at all you could download EndItAll which I use to close all programs I dont need. Just scroll down and "unprotect" scvhost. I do it every start up and have not had any problems whatsoever\n\nDoing a little research, it turns out enditall was superceded but I like to stick to somthing simple. If you prefer you could download the newer TaskPower 2

Infected.  Only Microsoft suffers the "114,000 Microsoft Virus Definitions".  There are 811 Other OSes, that are virus free, and most are free and cost you nothing.\n\nYep, you would probably spend some time getting used to the new one you choose, but, it will be lots less time than you are spending right now, on Microsoft updates, upgrades, anti-malware, anti-Spybot, anti-virus, frustration!\n\nPlus, the other 811 OSes are all based upon Unix, which runs upto 50X faster than Microsoft XP.  \n\nMicrosoft runs Linux on 45,000 servers and computers at Redmond Campus, Hotmail.com, Microsoft.com, MSN.com, and all corporate routers, and firewalls. \n\nLinux saves Microsoft from the Internet!   \n\nI recommend that you try out http://pclinuxos.com (with 1900 FREE games, programs, applications!) .\n\nDownload, burn to CDrom, reboot so it runs in RAM disc, and you can install by clicking the Icon on the desktop.  Provides 20 desktops (right click on screen, "configure Desktop"). \n\nThousands of helpful friends are on the forums, 24/7/365!

No.  WinInstall is not a virus but it looks like it will take up a lot of space and resources on your pc.  Hope this helps...

Hi there,\n\nThe only other information I can find on this filename is from another antivirus company - Prevx.  They state that the file is good:\nhttp://fileinfo.prevx.com/spyware/qqcf9e3014055-piew1812989/piewrap.exe.html\n\nWhy Microsoft mark it as "Bad" when it's actually created by another microsoft application is quite funny though! :oD

Yeah, it's pretty serious, and Microsoft ain't releasing a patch until Tuesday :(\n\nIt's even worse that the threat can be exploited just by getting someone to visit a website, or click a link (so be careful using e-mail). And this time, Firefox/Opera are also vulnerable.\n\nHowever, if you go to the Start Menu, Run, and type in \n\n"regsvr32.exe /u shimgvw.dll" (without the quotes)\n\nyou can significantly reduce (although not 100%) the chance of getting infected.

Try Housecall.  They are excellent and free!  They have found viruses that even my paid-for Norton and Macaffee have missed.\n\nIt's the best site!

it is a virus that replaces the userint file eventually and then it will keep you from booting windows use \nAVG to get rid of it

KB891711 exe  could be a Microsoft "Knowledge Base" fix or patch for your Windows.  But there's a virus that uses that same designator and disrupts Firefox and Mozilla.\n\nI would NOT open or run it.  If it just suddenly appeared, I'd be very skeptical and very careful.  A real Microsoft update will  usually install automatically (if that's how you have your updates configured) or you'll get a yellow shield-like icon near the clock in your notification area.\n\nBut if this KB....exe just showed up on your desktop or in a file, it could be a problem.

No don't worry about this message it often happens with AVG.\n\nYou probably installed a Microsoft Update that changed the shell32.dll (normally happens if service pack two is applied). The only way I have found to remedy this is to uninstall AVG, and reinstall.

I bet the only "virus" you have is probably YMessenger itself!  \nThis is quite a common problem, and unfortunately noone I know has a good answer (please DON'T waste time "reinstalling" - I believe the chance of THAT fixing it is about 0.0001%).\n\nKeep an eye on this forum, where the subject is being keenly discussed: http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34181&referrerid=62526

From the sound of it, yeah, it's a virus/trojan.  You can go to microsoft.com and there is a cleaning tool.  Even if you have windows antispyware, it might help.  Good luck!

Yes!! Go to this Microsoft free site and click on Full Service Scan button. You'll be amazed at all the stuff it finds AND fixes. Checks and fixes registry, temp files, and all kinds of things, besides virus & spyware. \n\nIT TAKES A LONG TIME!!! Patience.... but it's definitely worth it. You'll see..\n\nhttp://safety.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm
