Confiker Worm/Svchost.exe Problem

| Hey everyone! I'm having some weird Internet problems, that I think might be connected to the Confiker worm. A couple of weeks ago, my Antivirus Nod32 blocked the Confiker worm from entering my computer. Then a day later, it blocked it once again, and then a third time an hour or two later. After that I got a bit suspicious, that it must be somewhere in my computer, so I ran 2 Anti-maleware programs and sure enough, MalewareBytes found 3 pieces of the Confiker virus, hidden away at C:/system32/x. one of them were called Confiker.AM worm, the other two were called Confiker.Gen worm. So I cleaned those, and didn't have any more Confiker appearances for several days, although now my Internet seems messed up. About half the time when I start my system, I get an error message that Generic Host Win32 Process, Svchost.exe had to close due to an error. The other half of the time I get this same error message after I've already been online for awhile. After getting this message my Internet usually disconnects and I have to restart my system before it will work again. If I try to reconnect before restarting my system, it says the port is already in use. Today, Nod32 blocked the Confiker worm once again, although I ran a spyware check and found nothing. Do any of you know what I can do to fix this, and if the Confiker worm might still be in my computer? Thanks, [edit] I got disconnected again, right before I posted this [/edit] |

| Havent read all of your post, have you tried MS' Security Essentials? |

| Nope. I 'think' I got the problem fixed though by downloading some Security Updates from Microsoft. Immediately after posting this, I googled around for a bit on how to fix both the Internet problem, AND Conficker. |

| You may be best off searching the likes of Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro or Grisoft websites for a specific removal tool. |
