Virus??

[flysarescary]

This virus deposits a rootkit that causes your computer to freeze up after a certain ammount of time and start a long beep so that you have to restart. Here is the solution:

Overclock.net - Overclocking.net - View Single Post - Windows XP freezes and 1 continuous beep

Rep me biatches!

My AV sucks. Macafee didnt even pick this up.

I have fixed the exploit, but if anyones AV gets triggered again on WF, PM me ASAP.

Yo, is anyone else svchost.exe trying to contact someone at comcast? I can't tell if it's my firewall just asking for new rules and this is normal, or if my svchost is somehow infected despite never being modified

AVG crushed this shit in it's tracks.

I switched to AVG last night, I think its too late tho. Getting rocked by pop ups.

Run Malwarebytes Malwarebytes.org

Then remove AVG and install Microsoft Security Essentials, its the best free AV out there by far.

^ love the sig quote.

You think MS Security Essentials is better than the paid AVG + Firewall package?

 

[Brandon]

Not sure..I've never used the paid AVG version. I have to say, when someone first told me about Microsoft Security Essentials being really good, I laughed. After using it for a while now, I'm sold (well, not really because it's free). It is damn good though. Not sure if I'd give up a paid AV solution, but if you want free...it is the best.

Thanks for the feedback. I've got another machine sitting unused, think I'll fire it up and install MSE on it.

Malwarebytes isn't finding it unfortunately.

 

[flysarescary]

See my post about the rootkit remover atleast for that. I suggest you use ESET Nod32. It will find it

Anyway, anti-virus is cheap as shit for what it's worth. $40 for an entire year? FUUUU internet for killing capitalism. If it wasn't for internet privacy, the prices for this would be like ~$100+/year

Please reply if this is happening to you

My svchost.exe is trying to contact chlm-cns02.chelmsfdrds2.ma.boston.comcast.net

I keep getting something similar too.... Microsoft Security Essentials keeps catching it and deleting it, so so far so good.
