    How to remove RVhost.exe error

    One day when i started my computer i got a message saying that "Windows cannot find rvhost.exe. Make sure you type the name correctly and try again." When i try to click OK to proceed further, I face problem in saving and retrieving files. To complete the process it takes long time. Most of the time my computer just get hanged up and it doesn't respond. After that when I try to access Task Manager, a message is prompt saying that "task manager has been disabled by the administrator". Please somebody help me to solve this problem.

    This problem i have also faced and i will let you know that what heppens when this virus infects in our system. It is a floppy disk and network worm which is developed for the Windows platform likw "W32/SillyFDC-G" and other updated versions, it installs itself in the registry of the system. The worms which are associated with this virus are Worm.Win32.AutoIt.c, Win32/Hakaglan.B. When we try to run W32/SillyFDC-G, it copies itself to the locations like
    1. Windows>\RVHOST.EXE
    2. System>\RVHOST.EXE
    3. Windows>\Resources\Themes\Luna\Shell\Homestead\<o riginal worm filename>
    You can do the updation of the antivirus of your computer to avoid this virus.

    The "RVHOST.exe" file is located in the folder C:\Windows. It is a file with no information about the maker of this file and how it has been made. This file is not a Windows file. This file is able to record inputs, monitor applications and also it can manipulate other programs. So please check that the RVHOST.exe process on your computer. I use Security Task Manager which helps me for verifying the computer's security. It is also practical that you can do a online scanning which can help you to remove this virus.

    1. You need to close down all programs.
    2. Then go to the Start> Programs> Sophos> Sophos Anti-Virus and run the program.
    3. You can scan your system by the 'Available scans' list, you need your system to be clean by doing system scan.
    4. You can select the cleanup tab by selecting 'Automatically clean up items which contains virus/spyware' and click Apply> OK.
    5. Click on the 'Save and Start' button to save the scan, and run the scan immediately.
    6. After the antivirus detects the virus select items needing removal and 'Delete'.
