svchcs.exe

[Arghaz]

Noticed this as a running process today and read that it is a keylogger, tried scanning using fully updated norton +spysweeper but found nothing. Is it a keylogger and should i remove it manually?

Hello, visitor!

The Hijack This log analyzer has analyzed your log. Please take a closer look on the results.

Your system seems to be infected with malicious parasites. Please follow the steps below in order to eliminate the infection and clean up your computer.

1.   Download the Pocket KillBox utility. You will need it later to delete parasite-related files and folders.
2. Use HijackThis to fix the following entries:

O2 - BHO: Zango Search Assistant Helper /fleok=1D8A83A5C5E315789FA575760EA83FA5EF80752B94E2DF7F5B7845283BCF - {56F1D444-11BF-4879-A12B-79CF0177F038} - c:\programfiler\zango\zangohook.dll
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [zango] "c:\programfiler\zango\zango.exe"

3. The following entries are not malicious, but some of them are not used anymore. You may use HijackThis to fix a few of them. However, please keep in mind that some of the entries marked as Questionable or Not Needed are fully legitimate and might be required by installed software to work properly, while some others might be related to certain parasites. It is up to you to decide whether you need any of them, or not.

4. Now restart your system in Safe Mode. This step is very important!
5.   Use the Pocket KillBox utility to delete the following files:

C:\programfiler\zango\zango.exe
c:\programfiler\zango\zangohook.dll
c:\programfiler\zango\zango.exe


The following files and Windows registry entries are marked as "unknown". Currently, the HijackThis Log Analyzer cannot provide required information on these items. The files and entries in the list below can be both malicious and fully legitimate. Because of this, please do not take any action!

Hi Arghaz. Welcome to the 2-Spyware.com forums!

The svchcs.exe file is actually malicious. You should remove it manually. However, there are more threats in your systems. You should remove them as well. Please follow these steps:

1. Download Pocket KillBox or KillBox utility.

2. Open Control Panel and launch the Add or Remove Programs tool. In the list of installed software find Zango or/and Zango Search Assistant entries and uninstall these applications.

3. Use HijackThis to fix the following entries:
O2 - BHO: My Global Search Bar BHO - {37B85A21-692B-4205-9CAD-2626E4993404} - C:\Programfiler\MyGlobalSearch\bar\1.bin\MGSBAR.DLL
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [jiahus] C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchcs.exe

4. Now restart your system in Safe Mode. This step is very important!

5. Once in Safe Mode, use either Pocket KillBox or KillBox to delete the following files:
C:\programfiler\zango\zango.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchcs.exe

6. After you get done, restart your computer, run new HijackThis scan and post a fresh log here.


P.S. Your system is not up-to-date! You have to install Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Windows XP and Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Internet Explorer. Also apply all latest updates and security fixes.
