Can you send the file c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe to www.virustotal.com and check if it is infected?

Most probably not. Seems a false positive.
Can you send the file to virus (at) avast (dot) com
and explain in the email body it seems a false positive. Maybe add a link to this thread.

I believe it's a false alarm in this case.
Can you please pack the file into a password-protected ZIP or RAR and send it to virus@avast.com, with "False alarm" in subject (and the password mentioned in the e-mail body)?
Thanks!

It's in use by Windows and probably its access is denied...

No, it's normal. Every Windows system has a svchost.exe file running.

Sorry for my english.

In france we are a lot to have this problem. I send an alert to my friends at 6 pm today because i have deleted the file svchost.exe and of course windows was down !
you just have ton re install windows and perhaps sata driver to solve the problem but it's not necessary to format. some other drivers must be re installed like graphic card for me.
all is ok for me excepted for my USB key.

thank you very much avast !

Do you mean avast detect a virus (rootkit) and clean your computer?
If so, to be sure you're clean, I suggest:

1. Disable System Restore and reenable it after step 3.
2. Clean your temporary files.
3. Schedule a boot time scanning with avast with archive scanning turned on.
4. Use SUPERantispyware, MBAM or Spyware Terminator to scan for spywares and trojans. If any infection is detected, better and safer is send the file to Quarantine than to simple delete than.
5. Test your machine with anti-rootkit applications. I suggest avast! antirootkit or Trend Micro RootkitBuster.
6. Make a HijackThis log to post here or, better, submit the RunScanner log to to on-line analysis.
7. Immunize your system with SpywareBlaster or Windows Advanced Care.
8. Check if you have insecure applications with Secunia Software Inspector.

The original alert was : win32:rootkit-gen [Rtk] has been found in c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe and by inattention i have choose deleted but of course its was a big mistake.

i just scan my folder windows/system32 and i have a new alert :

File:    C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\svchost.exe
Name of virus:   Win32:Rootkit-gen [Rtk]
Type of virus:  Rootkit
VPS Version : 080603-0, 03/06/2008

Hi All !

I've just restored a svchost.exe file from an unused PC ( it has not been connected to anything since last year ). I restored this file under an arbitrary name and compared it with the suspect sp1 svchost.exe file ( using Edhex ). They are strictly the same !

So I think it is definitively a False Positive and I suggest to Avast to urgently communicate ( maybe by mail to all users ) because many many people who are not familiar with this problems are about to crash their windows system by deleting a so important file !

Best regards.

Yes, it is... file is in use and it's essential for Windows to work. It will be replaced or any change will be blocked (move or Chest). So, I won't be alarmed. I hope Alwil correct the false positive soon. Which is your language? Maybe it occurs just in some Windows languages...
