No idea how I got this thing, possibly may have gotten it via messenger. i never click on random links that would lead to the download of the virus, so it may have been something else. Not entirely sure, as I'm not a programmer and have never really worked with viruses/programs. I have trendmicro internet security, however; I don't think it's being detected due to it being attached to the svchost file.

Basically, given time, it duplicates itself within the svchost file (this is just a guess) as it increased the memory needed by about 100,000k from it's original 36,000k (which is where it normally is). Thus, pissing me off. I don't have time for this madness! Please help!

It's been a little over a week now, and still no progress, and no responses. I can reset my computer when it gets too bogged down and that seems to fix it for a little while.
