If your computer does not have an up-to-date antivirus, or does not have an antivirus solution at all, follow the instructions below to delete the malicious program:

  1. Use Task Manager to terminate the "svchost.exe" process launched from %WinDir%.
  2. Delete the following parameter from the system registry (see What is a system registry and how do I use it for details on how to edit the registry).
    [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
    "SVCHOST Generic application" = "%WinDir%\svchost.exe"

    Delete the following file:

    %WinDir%\svchost.exe
  3. Update your antivirus databases and perform a full scan of the computer (download a trial version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus).

This Trojan program enables a remote malicious user to use the victim machine as a proxy server. Consquently, the malicious user's activity will appear to be coming from the victim machine. It is a Windows PE EXE file. The file is 43,008 bytes in size. It is written in Visual C .

Installation

Once launched, the Trojan copies itself to the Windows root directory (%WinDir%) as "svchost.exe":

%WinDir%\svchost.exe

It then registers itself in the system registry:

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"SVCHOST Generic application" = "%WinDir%\svchost.exe"

This ensures that the Trojan will be launched each time Windows is booted on the victim machine.
