I have Win 7 32 bit OS with the Trojan.Powelik Activity. Norton 360 blocks this Trojan every 5 minutes but cannot remove it. I open up Task Manager and look at Processes to find there are a ton of dllhost.exe processes running using up a lot of memory but the worse thing is I cannot ‘end process’ because they keep reappearing. I have tried Avast, Malwarebytes etc, they didn’t help either. What should I do? How do I get rid of this virus permanently?
Trojan.Powelik Activity is categorized as Trojan Horse that targets the computer worldwide and can run in the background to occupy CPU usage of the target machine. Nowadays, Trojan viruses keep updating and most of them don’t even show a clear sign when they sneak into a system. However, if you have been infected with this Trojan virus, your antivirus program like Norton 360 will block it in the first place. But even though the virus has been blocked, it doesn’t mean your PC is safe and virus free as this virus is still inside and cannot be removed or quarantined by any security tools. Apparently, it puts victims in a frustrating situation because Norton will block the virus every few minutes but it just didn’t delete it permanently. In addition, this virus takes up large system resources so that your computer will perform extremely slowly and it sometimes gets frozen up during website loading and program launching processes etc. With this Trojan inside, it can perform lots of harmful activities to interrupt your browsing activities and even violate your privacy.

However, the program won’t go away and keeps running every time I boot up the computer. It is really frustrating so I tried to search solution online. However, it didn’t let me access to my Internet. Is this program real or fake? How do I get rid of it from the computer? I’ve already had Norton 360 and I don’t want any other security tools at all. Please help!!!
