run the malicious software removal tool through your system.

I have not come up against this virus before so cannot give you concrete info, but the malicious software removal tool can repair your system if any files get damaged due to removal of any virus by the tool.

give it a whirl, it may work.

Good Luck.

The file C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe is not infected.

Size = 14kb

Of course you cannot delete it because it is a live file. If you use Task Manager (press ctrl + alt + Delete) and click on the Porcesses tab, you will see many instances of this file in your list of processes. If you try and end the process then Windows may become unstable and shutdown.

This file is also kept in:

C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

You could copy it to C:\Windows\System32 but I doubt if it would fix anything because service host runs all the time even in safe mode. You would have to boot in safe mode and select the Command Prompt only in order to copy the file from one directory to another.

I suspect you have a 'false positive' report from one or more of these anti-virus programs.

Unless they state that the file is in C:\Windows\svchost.exe i.e. it is in the wrong location then it might be a false report.
