svchost.exe Trojan Alert


Go to solution Solved by LegitMidget,

Recommended Posts

Hello to whoever this may concern; 
I've recently been getting a window pop-up (from svchost.exe) that temporarily freezes everything that is focused on the desktop, even while gaming, and basically alt tabs whatever I'm focused on for about a millisecond and then re-focuses back on whatever I was on. It's super frustrating mid-game because it stops everything for a split second then tabs back in. 
I did extensive searching throughout my PC, didn't do any suspicious installs recently, I just bought this PC last week and only installed my games and necessary trusted software. 
Went on Task Manager and looked at the file path for svchost and all that I saw was filepaths in System32 (so no signs of malware). 
I ran multiple malware software and not one has fixed the issue yet. I get a notification ~ 5minutes telling me about the Trojan from svchost from Kaspersky. 

I'm currently on Microsoft Windows Version 21H2 (OS Build 22000.918)
Using Kaspersky Premium version 21.7.7.393 (a)

I'll also attach a log of the report I get regarding the trojan.

I'd like to know a fix to this problem, as I don't want to get a notification every 5 minutes about it (I have notif's disabled, but still annoying seeing svchost.exe pop up as malware every 5 minutes)

Hello once again and the last time. I managed to figure out the error on my end as to why I was getting the popup and telling me it was 'svchost'. I took a look at the videos I posted on Microsoft's forum and went frame by frame as slow as I can to see what that popup was and if there was a directory path to it. Turns out there was, and it wasn't a system32 directory, it was my OneDrive and this virus was acting as an svchost application. Already cleared out my OD and cleaned out any other junk and viola! No more System Watcher flags that I got every 5 minutes and no more popups when turning Kasperkey off so this topic is all set now, thank you all for helping, much appreciated!
