| Ok, this is how it happened. I was downloading a file from
| internet and when opened the file didn't do anything. So I
| said that's a virus. I run an antivirus program and finds
| a DLL file infected, so I get rid of it.
| Since then when I start the computer on the CTRL-ALT-DEL
| box appears something called SVCHOST.EXE. The computer
| slows down a lot so I think I still have the virus.
| I made some searches on internet and this is what I have
| learnt: SVCHOST is an actual file for windows NT and above
| (but I have windows 98). SVCHOST.EXE is supposed to be an
| actual file in the windows system, but I looked for them
| and I didn't find either SVCHOST or SCVHOST (which I
| learnt is the actual Virus). I read online how to get rid
| of it through the regedit, but in the registry there is
| nothing with those names.
| So how is it possible that I have a windows NT+ file
| running on my computer (that till a week ago I didn't have)
| and there is no actuale EXE file nowhere??
| How do I get rid of this annoying worm?
| Thanx in advance.
