sorry for posting this BIG LOG of hjt.. but it was the only manner to you undestand what is happening!

I hope someone could help me as fast as possible!

thanks

I have split your post out to your own thread. Please do not tag on to other members threads. You will not get the required assistance and it is unfair to the original poster :).

Go here to TrendMicro for an on-line scan & set it to autoclean for you.

Try this scan at Panda as well.

Post another log when done please.

Hi again! i've tried the scan, but the svhost.exe is still here... =(

I've deleted svhost.exe a lot of times... but it reapperas all the time... :sad:

the send and receive lights of my modem are ON... forever... :(

what can i do? :\
