VI. Firewall
Well This method is easy........
Control Panel> Windows Firewall> Uncheck No Exceptions.
Make sure you have an antivirus and a seperate firewall..... It's easy but it fix my friends computer..........
VII. Virus Related
Virus may cause to alter you svchost structure... so I recommend you to run combofix and malawarebytes.......
Download ComboFix from [url=http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe][/url] But, BEFORE saving it to your Desktop, Rename it to Combo-Fix.exe with a hyphen ? in the middle.
? Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
? Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and install it [url=http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe][/url]. Follow the prompts and reboot if required.
Launch Malwarebytes either by running C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe or double-click the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware shortcut on your Desktop.
Configuring Malwarebytes
? Click on the tab Settings.
? Make sure only these boxes are checked:
Terminate Internet Explorer
Automatically save and display logfile after removal
Always scan memory objects
Always scan registry objects
Always scan filesystem
Always scan extra and heuristics objects
Updating Malwarebytes
? Click on the tab Update.
? Press the button Check for Updates
? Wait for Malwarebytes to be fully updated.
Scanning Time
? Click on the tab Scanner.
? Check Perform full scan and click on Scan
? Wait for the scan to complete, and then click on Show Results.
? Make sure all items are checked, then click on Remove Selected.
**If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If you are asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.
after following those solutions, you may also download CCLeaner....... and try to google it to download... idont have links for that.....
If it is not a virus... or dont have any detection .......... the last solutions is below....
VIII. CA Antivirus
They have a hotfix for you in this link waiting for you.....
[url=http://homeofficekb.ca.com/CIDocument.asp?SimpleUI=1&GUID=95781F6810644AAF9A0AA509450E414B&ExternalCallID=0&Ver=&AddBookmark=0&KDId=3196][/url]
If none of those mentioned above would help... try my last two reserved options for you......
XXXXX. Destructive Process.
1.) Either you Reformat your computer to a whole new Level
2.) Or end process the svchost.exe..... HOW?????
CTRL+ALT+DEL> View> Select Columns> Check the Virtual Memory Size> Ok
then end process the svchost.exe that has the biggest Virtual Memory Size.... and dont worry, it will the restart again the svchost......
But this process is harmfull and dangerous........
You cant have sound because the Windows Audio is Stop and you Firewall will be disabled..... unless you start them all again. (refer the services above V.)
3.) Get a new fresh windows vista..... because the problem is common in xp SP2 and SP3
And these are my solutions... If none would help......... and you have found a solution..... I'm open in all ears..... just PM me so that I can post the additional information.....
Cheers..... And Good Luck Fixing.......
