Hi yea i just recently posted in this forum not too long ago about a vundo infection. I was able to recieve fast and amazing quality help from here soi have returned. Well the thing is that just last thursday when i came home from a party, i ran my computer. I was running internet explorer and all of a sudden it freezes so I decided to attempt to open up task manager to end process internet explore but to my suprise, task manager never came up onto the screen. Instead it completely froze everything on my computer and i couldn't even restart the computer normally without having to press the restart button or the power button on the tower. I decided to reformat my computer which went well but i've realized that i've been hit by something that seems to be disguised as a svchost.exe. After maybe around 10 minutes since the computer was turned on this "svchost.exe" hogs up all my cpu causing my cpu usage to skyrocket to 100% usage. I've attempted to install the patch that microsoft supposing released to solve this problem but no luck. I've also attempted to disable automatic updates and microsoft updates and still no good. So as you can see i'm experiencing a problem where a fake svchost.exe (i'm assuming) is constantly sucking up my cpu and even after i end process it, it comes back within 10 minutes or so. Well here's my HJT log:
