svchost.exe problem
in [Help and Support]

From: Kozaki on 30 Apr 2006 18:59 Can anyone offer me either an answer or some help! Recently, whenever I've turned on my computer an error appears as follows: svchost.exe - application error The instruction at oxffbadd11 referenced memory at "offbadd11". The memory could not be read. Furthermore, my computer has been running extremely slow. I tried to use my McAfee virus scan to scan for virus, but I couldn't even start the scan function. I tried restaring my computer and running my virus scan again. But there was simply no response. Then McAfee deactivited itself. Is my computer infected with some big time virus? Can anyone help? Thanks

There are vulnerabilities in them and they are actively being exploited. It is possible that is how you got infected with malware. Therefore, it is highly suggested that if there are any prior versions of Sun Java to Version 5 on the PC that they be removed and Sun Java JRE Version 5.0 Update 6 be installed ASAP. Simple check, look under... C:\Program Files\Java The only folder under that folder should be the latest version... C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06 http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp For non-viral malware... Please download, install and update the following software... * Ad-aware SE v1.06 http://www.lavasoft.de/ http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ http://www.lavasoft.de/ms/index.htm * SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.4 http://security.kolla.de/ http://www.safer-networking.org/microsoft.en.html * SuperAntiSpyware http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode. I also suggest downloading, installing and updating BHODemon for any Browser Helper Objects that may be on the PC. * BHODemon http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=3550&file=11&evp=245a87539eea8ed6904332b4b8b8442d For viral malware... * Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL -- http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe To use this utility, perform the following... Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS } Choose; Unzip Choose; Close Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS } NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files. C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS} This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode. This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site. The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC. You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode. When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm Additional Instructions: http://pcdid.com/Multi_AV.htm * * * Please report back your results * * * -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm
From: Kozaki on 30 Apr 2006 22:56 Thanks for your reply. I'm not a PC guy at all. However, I do have Ad-aware, SpyBot and SuperAntiSpyware installed on my pc; I already ran them and found nothing. How can I fix the problem - svchost.exe application error? Does anyone know? Please help. Kozaki "David H.

From: janfeb on 1 May 2006 04:51 svchost is part of windows as far as i can tell.it needs to connect to internet.if you have a good firwall,not xp's, you'r blocking it.it contans 12 programs so unblocking it is hard.without also letting spyware call home "Kozaki" wrote: > Can anyone offer me either an answer or some help! > > Recently, whenever I've turned on my computer an error appears as follows: > svchost.exe - application error > The instruction at oxffbadd11 referenced memory at "offbadd11".
