You should have about 4 svchost.exes running. -- Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. |

1 edit | reply to paddy_cass Wait for an expert to come along and help you out (please don't do anything with Hijack This until an expert comments). This looks off to me:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Msrv32] Msrv32.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [avserve2.exe] C:\WINDOWS\avserve2.exe O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Msrv32] Msrv32.exe
I see some things you can fix but will let someone with more experience post. Do you know what this is:
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [soundtasks] soundtasks.exe
EDIT: Please move Hijack This to it own permanent folder (i.e. C:\Hijack This\hijackthis.exe). This will allow it to make back-ups of any changes you make. This is important in the event you need to restore items you chose to fix with Hijack This. |

join:2004-05-03 | reply to darkstar2778 Have no idea, MSRV.exe is a w32.Gaobot virus. When i get rid of the current virus by simply deleting the file its associated with it reappears again.
This is actually the very first hijack log i have ever run. |

| In relation to the file Msrv32.exe, have scanned system and cannot find this file, have deleted and check regedit but no sign of this file.
However i have am still getting virus alert for W32gaobot!inf.
Hosts file is the one infected. |

| reply to paddy_cass You need to take the system off the network and go to your HKLM, software, microsoft, windows, currentversion, run look far an entry 10base-t and delete it, and do the same for runservices. This gets rid of the virus but I have a couple of machinces I have do this to but I have gotten it back once or twice. Still looking for the fix |

| We have had all of our Windows 2000 PCs in our office infected with soundtasks.exe which appears to be very similar to the w32.sasser worm
The only things I could tell it was doing was 1) sending out a large amount of network traffic (trying to infect other computers) 2) modifying the c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file (adding a bunch of anti-virus web sites with loop-back IP to prevent reaching them) and 3) making multiple copies of itself to the root of c:\ drive with random characters as its name (with a .exe extension) all 142 kb in size.
I killed the process, removed the file (c:\winnt\system32\soundtasks.exe), and removed it from the registry (hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run\soundtasks) and all of the excessive network traffic seems to have stopped.
It spreads through the same vulnerability as the w32.sasser worm exploits (I've noticed that once we've patched our PCs with that fix they are not getting re-infected). |

| We are in the same boat here. Soundtasks.exe and Soundtctrls.exe running on machines.
If you scan them for viruses with Trend's Sysclean you get BKDR_SDBOT.M virus on the machine.
After we remove the registry entries and delete the .EXEs from windows\system32 it seems to cure them. They have to have the patches though or they get reinfected.
NONE of the anti-virus companies have anything about this. I've submitted soundtasks.exe and soundtctrls.exe to Trend yesterday. Nothing yet, even scanning with their latest 886 pattern. |
