    Question new user - need help

    So I just recently had problem with my internet... I called to that place where my internet is hosted and they said that I cant use my internet because there is coming some sort of foreign country signals from my computer - so Its closed from my main computer now. Any idea what this virus this may be?

    Also I recently did rootkin scan and it found some weird registry keys. Let me copypaste:

    HKLM/system/currentcontrolset/services//gupdate
    HKLM/system/currentcontrolset/services//gupdate
    HKLM/system/controlset002/services//gupdate
    HKLM/system/controlset002/services//gupdate
    HKLM/system/controlset001/services//gupdate
    HKLM/system/controlset001/services//gupdate

    so these are all of them, I was wondering - should I delete these or are these necessary to make my computer run...?

    I hope this thread is not congusing, I have been doing long work day - so I am little bit tired when Im writing this :P

    gupdate appears to be the Google Update Service.

    No, there are many possible scenarios.

    Is this a personal computer, how many computers are networked?

    Also, please list:

    • The operating system.
    • All security programs installed.
    • Any issues with the computer's performance and when they started.


    Best regards.
