I didn't.... but now i got this crappy svchost.exe 99% cpu problem,
i know i've been infected by some malware, i got a Pentium IV with winxpprosp1, patched and fully
protected against blaster, sasser etc... I use Mozilla Firefox, Recently I installed a piece of junk
(msn emoticon installer...) that came with 180search assistant...and god only knows what else...
crap!
So i removed everything: the host application, all the specific registry keys, i scanned everythingwith fully updated nod32 antovirus, blocked every malicious application with look'n stop firewall,
removed and cleaned everything with every kind of malware/spyware tool: ad aware, giant antispyware,
panda online virus scan, cwssherdder, secure guard, ccleaner, housecall trendmicro, stinger, spybot
sd, activescan, pest patrol, regscrub, and every other antispy app you can think about.
Now they all say i'm clean, but still have 99% of cpu sucked by that damn svchost.exe, this happensafter 10 mins i start my pc.
If i shut svchost.exe down i solve my problem, but got no more audio!the svchost affected contains these running tasks (found with start/execute/CMD.exe tasklist/svc)
AudioSrv,
Browser,
CryptSvc,
Dhcp,

First off-Xoftspy,and Spwarenuker are suspected rogue antispyware,and you can read up on it from here- Rogue.So i suggest you remove those antispyware apps before you add to your problems.
Secondly-Scan the suspected file from this site that has 10+ of the top antivirus companies outthere from here- Virus Scanners.
Thirdly-Write down the name of the ofending infection file(Virus,Trojan,worm, ect name) so we know what you are up against so that we can offer a proper cleaning of the infection.
Lastly-if all else fails???just post a hijack this log so that we can determine whats in your system.

To start=Fully update nod32,and then turn system restore off,then reboot your pc,and start tapping the (F8) upon boot to enter into (SAFEMODE).
Step 2- Fully scan your pc with nod32 with system restore turned off,and while in safe mode,and see if it can remove the worm.
To turn system restore off,and on,follow these instructions.(Dont forget to turn system restore on after the pc is clean.)
For Windows XP:
1. Log on as Administrator.
2. Right-click the My Computer icon on the desktop and click Properties.
3. Click the System Restore tab.
4. Select Turn off System Restore.
5. Click Apply > Yes > OK.
6. Continue with the scan/clean process. Files under the _Restore folder can now be deleted.
7. Re-enable System Restore by clearing Turn off System Restore.If this fails???here is a link with a removal tool,and manual removal instructions.You cann also submitt a hijack this lof after you have completed all these steps.

Some of the programs that got labeled Rogue where the result of older versions. Like I explained above, some of these programs are finding stuff the main channal guys are not finding. If uncomfortable with the idea they might be malicious, uninstall after using. XoftSpy found 2 Trojans in my computer that the others didn't. Fixed my computer problems great. Alot of the times, scanning in Safe Mode is a better way to find problems that hide on Normal bootup. I have found 1 item relating to SpyNuker, none for XoftSpy when scanning afterwards with SpySubtract, AdAware SE, SpySweeper, BulletProof (SpyBot doesn't like this one), SpyBot, Counterspy, Bazooka etc. My motto is, if it fixes something the others won't or can't, I think the benefits outway the problems. Usually, if the other scanners find problems with the programs, I eliminate the problem found and continue to use the program with the problem eliminated.

I find that Spyware Eliminator 4.0 and Spy Sweeper 3.5 are the best spyware removal products about.
Spyware Eliminator 4.0 shines when it comes to rooting out extra-sneaky spyware and adware. Spyware Eliminator 4.0 identifies stubborn, self-regenerating adware and spyware cleverly hidden deep inside program files—including a nasty, sex-dialer program and a pair of redundant adware files, especially skilled at regenerating themselves once deleted.

I don't really use much other than hijackthis, spybot, adaware, and MS antispy. I also have a strong preference for Avast as a virus scanner.
Spyware Removal I would try www.sarc.com and see if norton has a removal tool for mytob. I'm sure they do.
