svchost.exe slowing system

According to the following site, the entry C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\hpztsb05.exe is a virus.

http://www.siena.edu/antivirus/viruses/spybotworm.htm

Another entry that is suspicious is C:\Program Files\InterVideo\WinDVR3\SchSvr.exe. See site below.

http://www.2-spyware.com/file-schsvr-exe.html

Everything else seems to be legit.

The sites I've listed have more information.

xgrrl typed these pixels of light:

>According to the following site, the entry C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\hpztsb05.exe is a virus.

It's a legitimate file and not a virus when located in the correct folder as it is:

http://www.windowsstartup.com/wso/detail.php?id=3694

>Another entry that is suspicious is C:\Program Files\InterVideo\WinDVR3\SchSvr.exe. See site below.

http://www.2-spyware.com/file-schsvr-exe.html

The file schsvr.exe is installed with WinDVD Remote Control for WinDVD from Intervideo. If you want to schedule recordings from your TV tuner card, you will need it...so leave it alone.

Not too bad...one hostile .DLL Browser Helper Object (BHO) and one orphan entry:

Run Hijackthis, scan and check the box left of these numbered line items:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {E1ACB2F5-031D-4207-A91F-0FBB2FF76B40} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\umzkksb.dll
O4 - Global Startup: Digital Line Detect.lnk = ?

With no other windows open click on fix checked button in Hijackthis.

Exit Hijackthis.

Reboot to SAFE MODE and Show HIDDEN FILES and folders  (VERY IMPORTANT!)

FAQ 8 and 9 on this page: http://www.russelltexas.com/malware/faqhijackthis.htm

Open Windows Explorer: type the word explorer at Start/Run box and click OK:

Drill on down and delete the following file: (it may not be present after deletion of the Registry entry)

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\umzkksb.dll

Exit Explorer and empty the Recycle Bin.

Reboot to normal mode and download the latest versions of Spybot and Adaware if you don't have them (I didn't see the TeaTimer entry for Spybot so wonder if you have older 1.2 version. At any rate...the running instructions can make a big difference in what they will achieve. Run these two programs (Spybot S&D and Adaware) at the link below. Use Spybot first.

Most Internet baddies can be killed by a one-two punch with Spybot and Adaware assuming these three factors are achieved:

1. Latest version
2. Configured correctly for running options
3. New definitions from update feature

Chris has posted an excellent tutorial by dgosling on how to run Spybot S&D and also how to enable customized deep scanning functions for Adaware. Once you set these options they will be retained for future scans by Adaware.

Follow the directions in this detailed guide for Spybot and Adaware...print out the directions in the custom scan tutorial as a reference while you set these options for the custom setup of Adaware. These custom settings will be retained for future custom scans so don't go nuts thinking you have to do this every time you run it! It may take you five minutes to set them up, but it's worth it.

http://www.cjwd.demon.co.uk/spybot-adaware.html

Please note the free Spybot 1.3 does have a slight bug...it detects some DSO exploits falsely. Hopefully an upgrade will fix this.The problem is not serious and should not deter people from using Spybot.

I also like to run Windows Disk Cleanup after cleaning with those two tools. Make sure you reboot if any reboot cleanup functions of Spybot and Adaware are advised by these tools (this may happen at the end of their cleanup).

Run Disk Cleanup: type cleanmgr at Start/Run. Scan all hard drives and check all categories at the end and click OK.

If you have any problems with Disk Cleanup completing...XP users can fix it here:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;812248

Or try this fix: http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/DeleteOldFiles.htm

Reboot and browse a bit and post a new Hijackthis log.

Special comments: The Kodak EasyShare (AKA Backweb) software is my brother's most-hated software..*;-)

It can be uninstalled in Control Panel/Add Remove Programs. I know I would never install it.
