Hi. I copied and pasted from my previous. Hope this helps: -
Please search your registry for this exact string. Copy and paste it to your search parameter.
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svdhost.exe
If you have this, it is a Trojan Virus and you need to act quickly to remove it.
It's an oldie, so most good antivirus programs and anti-rootkits should save you.
Other forms of LP5 may be genuine and related to Zip file problems from genuine programs, and are simply corrupted which may be the case here as the system program kill.exe has been invoked.
- PS: you should also check for these variants of the virus: -
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Microsoft Updates] svdhost.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Microsoft Updates] svdhost.exe
- ADDENDUM. A simpler search in XP would be to just type in: -
svdhost
Ensure you enable search for hidden and system items too.
deleting all svdhost related files may help too.
