Hello. I went on CCleaner and checked the starup manager and saw these random starup entries:


Their locations all lead to svchost.exe.
Are those items harmful to my computer?

None of these look harmful to your computer.

Update checker: checking for updates
Antivir: your antivirus program Antivir
icq: is the messenger program you use
msconfig: is a system file that runs deals with the startup programs in the windows OS

I can also suggest to go to the startup list link at this site it would probably answer some of you questions. ;->

I don't have antivir nor icq and I don't know what updates update checker is checking for.
msconfig is to be activated in run not during startup

You need to find out the location of the service that is running under svchost to determine if it is legit or not.

How to determine what services are running under a SVCHOST.EXE process

Oh no I just found out it's a trojan the file is actually scvhost.exe not svchost.exe. Look at the picture it's scvhost.
I'll post a HJT log if symantec w32.gaobot fixtool does not work.

Yup these are detected by Sophos as Troj/Bckdr-PUT

These are also all listed in our startup database as bad.
