I am having problems with Fraps (A capturing software for games) not recording properly. I'm trying to rule out software it may be conflicting with... I completely disabled my anti-virus before I went into a game. I did nothing else but play the game with it disabled. It seemed to work at first... but then it started acting up again.
I went to my task manager to end task EVERYTHING that was not important when I noticed a file that should not be on my computer... svehost.exe (notice how close it resembles svchost.exe).
I have no idea how long it has been there, how it got there and why my anti-virus didn't catch it. Either the server had the trojan and it got transfered to my computer while downloading a map in-game or my anti-virus failed to detect it. I think it failed to detect it because I did a full scan and it never found the file but I manually removed it from starting up ever again. I can't seem to locate the file however.
While scanning, my anti-virus did pick something up which I had no clue of... another trojan. Where did these come from?????????? I have no idea but now I have to change my password of every single application and website I use...
I think I'm just going to format...
One thing im thankful for, I rather have trojans than viruses. Trojans are easy to remove and rarely do damage... viruses on the other hand infect everything and destroy everything.
