Hi,

The chances are you had a virus which was detected and deleted and the message C:\recycle\svchost.exe is one of the left overs of the virus references.

It is not detected by the antivirus or registry cleaners simply because the name "svchost.exe" is a valid operating system file and therefore is ignored by the tools. Here is how to remove it. I assume you are using windows

NB: You will need to remove the reference manually from the registry. But first export your copy of the registry for backup.

1. Click on Start run
2. type in regedit and cling on OK
3. Find the "C:\recycle\svchost.exe"
4. Delete its occurance and more so the one next to explorer key.

Tell me about your experience.

Your success is my concern.

Scary stuff this....
A full scan would scan this file and report if it's a virus or not.
Personally I wouldn't remove entries of this from the registry. SVCHOST is a binding process used to run all essiential components of windows... one mistake and bye bye windows.

Instead go to nortons online virus scan (link is on this site somewhere), once it reports what virus it is/was download the fix (from symantec... they got loads) and run it. It will remove/ repair the damage for you.

Problem with C:\Recycled\SVCHost.exe

Did u say C:\Recycled\SVCHost.exe


The message is caused normally by a string left by a virus variant W32/Rungbu-A which was cured or quarantined by an Anti Virus. To get rid of this, you need a bit of registry editing.

For beginners-Go to Run in start menu and type 'regedit' then enter. You will get the windows registry opened. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER and expand it. Now further expand it till you reach SOFTWARE > MICROSOFT > WINDOWS NT > CURRENT VERSION >EXPLORER > WINLOGON.

NB: In some case the >EXPLORER> case may not be available

Click on the WINLOGON key on the left pane and on the right pane you can see an entry named Shell.

Double click on it and a box appears with the Value of the String.

In the Value box you will see Explorer.exe C:\Recycled\Svchost.exe. Now carefully select the text starting from C:\Recycled\Svchost.exe and delete it. The value box should have only Explorer.exe.
Press OK.

Close the Registry Editor and restart your machine.
That should solve the problem.
