Hello there, the other day I downloaded a program, it had two smaller programs and i double clicked one called load_me.exe and it loaded like 50 or 60 of them into the processes tab and so I immediatly restarted the computer. When my computer started back up, the 60 or so processes that were hogging my resources were gone, but in its place were FIVE svchost.exe programs, i know that they are legit programs that are ran on the operating system, but I don't remember there being five of them before. Also now one of them is huge, ranging at times from 8,000 to 19,000 and is the second biggest process on my list aside from explorer.exe, I have downloaded the weilcha fix, and the blaster fix, (scan utilities norton) and they came back negative, i've checked for registry entires and I didn't see any, When I end on of the svchost.exe's it does the 60 second's till shutdown thing. This site is my only other hope, i've tried everything except reformatting, which judging by the people who have attempted that obviously does no good anyways. I see common posts about hijack this so i searched and downloaded it and ran a scan, I do not know if i scanned it correctly but here is the log it came back with, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a bunch! If you need any other details just say so. I am running windows XP professional build 2600 (i think it's 2600) i have 256 mb ram, a 3mbit cable internet connection, and a 2.0ghz celeron processor, I do not have problems copying and pasting, opening msconfig, or regedit, all of that works fine, however sometimes the windows xp userinterface will get really slow and change into a half xp half windows 98 look. I think it does that because of the lack of resources. Well here is the hijack this log...
