Smitty Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I keep getting this annoying fake svchost.exe trojan on my computer no matter how many times I remove it with stuff like Malwarebytes, Avast etc. It eats up a massive amount of memory on your computer then forces it to the BSOD. It is really annoying. Anyone know a permanent solution for getting rid of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 So I ran Spybot S&D and it detected the dreaded Smithfraud virus and Babylon which can also be pretty bad supposedly. Think I found the culprits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
