How to Repair after Virus removed?

Question by mariner31: How to Repair after Virus removed?
AVAST Anti-Virus detected “file c:\windows\RVHOST.exe is infected by Win32:Hakaglan[wrm]” We clicked 8 for repair, and got a message “Repair: Error 42060 { The File was not repaired.}”

When we powered the computer (desktop running Windows XP) back up, the computer freezes on the desktop screen and displays a message “windows cannot find RVHOST.exe”

If RVHOST.exe is located in the folder C:\Windows then the security rating is 57% dangerous. File size is 272,643 bytes (50% of all occurrence), 296,888 bytes. RVHOST.exe is a file without information about the maker of this file. The file is not a Windows core file. RVHOST.exe is able to record inputs, monitor applications, manipulate other programs.

File RVHOST.exe is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32 or sometimes in a subfolder of “C:\Documents and Settings”. Known file sizes on Windows XP are 268,216 bytes (58% of all occurrence), 268,288 bytes, 292,864 bytes, 468,480 bytes, 273,920 bytes, 13,179,660 bytes.
Program has no file description. The file is not a Windows core file. The program has no visible window. The file is an unknown file in the Windows folder. The program starts upon Windows startup (see Registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run). RVHOST.exe is able to record inputs, monitor applications, manipulate other programs. Therefore the technical security rating is 87% dangerous, however also read the users review.

Note the registry keys indicate what to remove. Be careful, backup and be exacting. Good luck

A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone and a hand phone) is a device that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link whilst moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. By contrast, a cordless telephone is used only within the short range of a single, private base station.

In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones also support a wide variety of other services such as text messaging, MMS, email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming and photography. Mobile phones that offer these and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.

The first hand-held mobile phone was demonstrated by Dr Martin Cooper of Motorola in 1973, using a handset weighing around 1 kg.[1] In 1983, the DynaTAC 8000x was the first to be commercially available. In the twenty years from 1990 to 2011, worldwide mobile phone subscriptions grew from 12.4 million to over 5.6 billion, penetrating the developing economies and reaching the bottom of the economic pyramid.
