The only one who used the computer during that time was my brother who says he did nothing.
When I fist started up my computer yesterday, many odd things happened:
1. First, it took a while until all processes would actually load. Few times (after entering windows and the user) the start-up process (the load of all the software and processes) failed and just stopped, even without the load of all the desktop features like task bar and icons.
Few times I got messages like this, with different processes-
Generic Host Process for Win32 Services encoutered a problem and needed to close
(I clicked details and it said its related to these files -
c:\DOCUME~1\Guy\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER341f.dir00\appcompat.txt
c:\DOCUME~1\Guy\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER341f.dir00\svchost.exe.mdmp)
2. Also, 3 minutes after the start-up, the windows (xp) task-bar tends to "flip" to "windows old fashioned look taskbar".
3. F-secure uses many processes. yesterday I found MANY more of them.
4. svchost.exe is the most noticeable problem. Last log I posted I thing I had 1. Now I have like 6-10 svchost.exe's and each startup, one of them uses 101k memory and lots of CPU memory untill I end that process.
I tried to make a HJT log after all the processes were being loaded and before my computer will stuck because of that process. I hope I was sucessful.
I took another log after I closed that process just to be sure.
5. Probably just a stupid thing, but I also have 1 or 2 error sounds when the windows(after entering the user) is loaded. No message is recieved.
I had few more odd things happenning, but are less remarkable, I think.
Maybe some aren't related to anything importent, but note that none of them happened 14 days ago, and my brother didn't do anything other than using the browser, if at all.
I also did a system restore which helped with the first problem it seems.
I deleted F-secure which seemed problematic because all of its processes. Although I'm quite sure its not a program bug. I now use nod32 and am about to get Zone alarm.
I really hope you can help me with this. I'm not even sure its a trojan as I can't find it with scanning. But SOMETHING is happening to my computer.
Note that many processes here I don't even remember from before, although they don't seem bad.
Thanks a lot,
Guy
Thats before I closed the svchost.exe that took all my memory.
