It's a bit of bloody sophisticated malware if it's hiding in svchost. You're not going to be able to get rid of it that easily. Even if it is like that, it'll at least be under a different, probably nice, harmless sounding name. But yeah, I don't see why you can't have a look...

Also, as a precaution, if you can, disconnect it from the Internet or at the very least don't type in any personal passwords, it could have a keylogger feature...

or you could try this http://free.antivirus.com/hijackthis/ you will also need to use this forum http://www.hijackthis.de/ be very careful using HijackThis as it will also remove core windows files as it doesn't distinguish between good files or bad ones.

HijackThis would be able to remove registry problems, as i said you need to be very careful with removing registry files.

Indeed. Very very careful. The infamous Windows Registry, touch NOTHING unless you know what you're doing, and even then it's advised you don't touch anything...

"I never could resist a keep out sign"

Make a system restore point before you delve in there, just in case.

That's a bit idiotic if it comes bundled in with it. It's like the Dell Dock that broke, but then I fixed it.

I don't even want to mess with half the stuff. I don't see why I'd ever need to change the fan speed on the graphics card. It's at 54 degrees in there, and I don't know if that's good or bad...

Ohai.

do you know where you got the virus from ?

it wasn't facebook was it ??

i had to sort a mate of mines out last week from something his mrs got from facebook, i had to do a factory reset so he lost everything :(

Facebook. Srsly.

Unless you're using some dodgy Facebook app, just using the site for its purpose (keeping up with friends, checking photos, commenting and whatnot) then you can't really get one...

a women from where his mrs works sent his mrs a message & when she clicked on the link in the message the computer got trojan'd up, because she didn't know that her account had been hacked & the account had automatically sent out the same message to all the friends on her friends list, i also got a message myself, but as i know about these sorts of things i didn't click on the link & knew it was a virus one so i deleted it & reported & also phoned up my mate to tell him.

Oh.. Well that's just a bit silly. Like the Twitter things.. You usually learn about them and then remember. Oh well.

    • Someone in fact posted about it on digital spy and its still on his instagram. James put up a story his dad was in hospital this weekend but it sounds like it's gone ok. That explains that
    • Nikita Kanda is covering the weekend mid afternoon slot a few times over the next few weeks, as is Ore.
    • No sign of James Cusack at Big Weekend. Ore Olukoga and Nikita Kanda were there. Will they be part of the weekend line-up over summer? Even Joel Mitchell and Tinea Taylor made it. 
    • I don't know about that but somebody's messed up with the dates on the lanyards this year, they're all the wrong date!
    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
