Computer CPU running at 50-100% because of SVChost, (newbi).

[17redman]

Hi, for the last couple of months my computer has run at 50% CPU when idle. My computer wont update, and jumps to 100% CPU when anything is running.

Here is my Hijackthis log.

_________________________________
Welcome to the Forums.

The fixes we will use are specific to your problems and should only be used for this issue on this machine.

Please only use this topic to reply to. Do not start another thread.
If any other issues arise let me know.
The process is not instant.
Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine is clear.
Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
So lets do this to the end!

• Save and quit any work your doing before beginning the fix.
• All hijackthis logs I ask for should be done in normal mode ( not safe mode)
• These logs should be done last after you have followed my instructions in the previous post.
• DO NOT be installing new programs while you run Hijackthis.
• If I do not hear from you in 5 days from my last post this topic will be closed.

Please if you decide to seek help at another forum let us know. There is a shortage of helpers and tying 2 of us up is a waste of time.
If you have any questions about any advice given here please STOP and ask!




Because your running a vista machine. Some of the tools may require that you right click them and choose run as adminitrator.
Just keep that in mind.



_________________________________
We need to disable windows defender.
A good program but may interfere with our fixes.

Right click the icon on your task bar (bottom right of screen)


and choose exit.
Confirm when asked.




______________________________
RUN HJT

HJT
Run hijackthis and choose scan only and place a check by the following lines if present.
Close all other windows and browsers except HJT before clicking on Fix Checked

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - ?p=ZK
O20 - Winlogon Notify: gebbxwu - gebbxwu.dll (file missing)


Close that.







________________________________________
Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

• Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
• At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
• Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
• Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please post the contents of that log.
  
  If you accidently close it you may find it here.
  Start -> All Programs -> Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware -> Logs
  
  
  
  
  
  _________________________
  In your next reply I would like to see:
  • A new HJT log
  • The report from Malwarebytes Anti Malware.
