The spelling was correct on the svchost file. The soduku program has been on the PC for a while. The original CAUSE of the infection was my own momentary stupidity in running a file I KNEW i shouldn't have. Actually, there is no more room on my a** for footprints right now as I have been kicking myself for my momentary stupidity.
I will update the Java. All scans from the software I can find show clean, but, every now and then I still see pop-ups from avast scanning outgoing email. I realize that the processes using time may not be the originators, it was just something I noticed on the display. The hard drive appears to be clean (if I can trust the X programs i keep scanning with). And yet...emails get sent.
The rest of the PC appears to be functioning OK. Maybe I just have something new, and I will just have to wait till databases get updated and someone finds somthing to remove this?
BTW, ran the rootkit tool, and nothing was found (except a few hidden registry entries). And thanks for letting me know the scan sites aren't working right now. I ... honestly was hoping it was a "second" symptom.
Before I GIVE UP... I want to thank EVERYONE who has made suggestions or offered any kind of help or effort in trying to help me. I really appreciate all your efforts, and I hope someday I can be as nice and return the favor to someone else.
