I have a win 7 pc with the poweliks virus. There are dllhost processes spawning repeatedly and clogging up the system.
I have run Norton 360 several times. Norton says it has removed the virus but the problem persists.
Norton forums recommend you for assistance. Thanks in advance for any help.

Have attempted to download requested tool ... ESET Poweliks Cleaner . File downloads to desktop but is not executable. I have changed the Internet options to attempt a fix but no love.
Any suggestions?

I just double checked the link, downloaded it to my desktop and its an exe file, ,right clicked on and ran as administrator and it ran just fine. Drag it to the trash and try a different browser, if still no luck you may have to use another computer to download it and then transfer by usb flash drive to this infected one

There are other methods to remove this pest but ESET appears to be the best but if still no joy with the new link than run these scans and post the logs please

I would still like to see the logs for FRST to see if anything else needs to be removed. In the malware community things change on a dime, new threats and also new tools to remove them, the thing to do now is to download, install and run Malwarebytes Anti Rootkit, its doing a fine job of removing Poweliks
