How do I get rid of this worm on my computer?

Hello, the name of the file infected is called svdhost.exe in my system 32 folder, which makes me hesitant to delete it. It has been identified as a Worm/Agobot.FWI in a trial of AVG antivirus, and classed as unhealable.



In my Spysweeper antivirus which was turned off for AVG scan, it was identified as W32/Rbot-GVH and has failed to quarantine.



Please somebody help me get rid of this as I think it is slowing down my system and I am worried. I can delete this file if it is unimportant, but I don't know if it is a system file required to run Windows. Thanks in advance for all the help :).

No antivirus or antispyware protection is perfect, not even the expensive ones but a good mixture will help you clean your system and hopefully keep it clean. It is advisable not to run two or more anti virus applications as they may interfere with one another and cause false alerts.



As the biggest of the problems seem to be associated with Spyware, for starters, download, update and run a full scan using the following product:

SuperAntiSpyware is exceptional and will remove the majority of difficult Trojans and Worms, not just the easy ones.



If possible it is recommended that you load the application in normal mode but run it in Safe Mode. Safe Mode can be started by continually pressing F8 during the boot sequence. If you are badly infected you might need to run SuperAntiSpyware more than once to help clean your system. If the only infections now being shown are in System Restore, once you are completely satisfied that you can boot normally, you can either delete the infected restore points manually, or temporarily turn off System Restore.
