More recently, I came across a rather unpleasant situation. My laptop began to slow down very much, which did not allow me to work normally with it. For a long time I could not find the true problem. The system monitor constantly shows that the central processor is fully loaded. I already closed almost all applications in the tray, left one desktop and waited up to half an hour. The load on the stone did not even fall.
Out of desperation, I did not know what to do. I wanted to reinstall the operating system already. However, before that he went to a neighbor and began to rummage around on the Internet. I reviewed many posts on this topic.
Many users have described similar syndromes. At the same time, it was said that the svchost process loads the processor. I looked at my own and found that it was he who was pulling the entire resource of the laptop. Moreover, this process was not one. The task manager displayed more than a dozen tasks of the same name. Everything indicated that my car had caught a virus somewhere.
In general, there is a large number of enemy software, due to which the svchostexe process loads the processor. I will tell you specifically about my case. Consider that my creation is merely an exploratory one and is by no means the ultimate truth. If you doubt your strengths or abilities, it is better to entrust this matter to specialists. They will certainly tidy up your computer.
So, I started looking for the reason why svchostexe is loading my system. It turned out that the system was infected with a modified
trojan. I had a GCD installed, which still could detect the threat, but could not do anything about it. A constant message was issued that cleaning was not possible.
After that, this message crashed every time the computer started. At the end there was already the following picture. In the task manager, two svchost processes were reflected. The processor loads each of them equally, fifty percent of the resource for each.
With one free Microsoft application called Process Exlorer, you can see what these processes are and what exactly they relate to. At its core, this is some kind of advanced task manager. In my situation, svchost loads the processor, but is in its place. This suggests that it is necessary to look for enemy software in the startup area. A special application for removing Trojans helped me in this. It coped with its task and found some muck in my registry.
The rootkit agent was located in the drivers folder, which was in the System32 directory, which, in turn, was in the Windows system directory. In addition to this rubbish, nothing else could be found. I understood that there might be traces, so I launched Dr. Web’s utility and performed a full scan of the device.
She also managed to identify the Trojan in the startup folder. As soon as the procedure was completed, I decided to still clean the laptop from temporary files. I did it manually, but you can use the Kaspersky utility called AVZ. If you see svchost loading the processor, you know what to do.
