![]() It all depends on wheather it is SCV or SVC host. One is a worm the other is a windows program. SCV is the worm. http://www.ppedia.com/p4_scvhost-scvhost.exe.htm |

![]() Okay, I realized I needed to make all files and folders visible, and found the files and have them copied to the desktop. I uninstalled LW, and stopped one svchost process. The problem has not reappeared since, but I know it's still there. I do not see any of the common viruses listed in TM. System Idle is near 100%, I assume that's normal. Apparently it's hiding under another - as yet unbeknownst to me - filename. ![]() |

![]() GOT it! The way I fixed it was to download the virus protection from AVG.com. It's totally free, and appears to have gotten it all. Ctl-Alt-Del now brings up the task manager. I haven't reinstalled LW yet, I'm still a little gun shy... |
