Solved possible Hijack/virus..

I think I have something very fishing going on.

I can browse the internet fine but My firewall keeps popping up to connect to svchost.exe odd ports...

pictures provided.. I've started to run a lot of anti-rootkit/virus programs and it occasionally finds things that I ofcourse fix..

I feel like I've installed something or clicked things that are hijacking my firefox..

the best example I've seen is different home pages when I start firefox up.. and taking long time to connect to websites etc.. slow download speeds.. so I know something is up..

How do I go about defusing the situation with possible hijacking ..

I will eventually probably just reinstall windows clean.. but is there anything I can do now.. I do have a lot of programs installed etc..

As you can see from my pictures, I have Svchost.exe already allowed by default windows firewall rules..

so why is svchost.exe trying to connect more? I know this is a red flag.. especially the ports its trying to connect to..

Can be software you have trying to connect, but firewall is blocking it. As you think, yes, a virus can hijack a svchost.exe.
Look here too How to remove SvcHost.exe virus (Malware Removal Guide)
As shown here need open location. Use Task manager.

What exactly did you run to scan ? Added any new extensions or plug-ins to Firefox ? Run Firefox with all disabled or reset it. Should use Adblock plus for Firefox too. Windows Firewall and what else do you use as Anti-Virus? Try Windows Malicious removal tool full scan, MRT.EXE at run. Use Malwarebytes.

I think I have something very fishing going on. I can browse the internet fine but My firewall keeps popping up to connect to svchost.exe odd ports...

The ones you posted don't seem abnormal.

- Outbound connection from svchost.exe to 93.184.215.200 Port 80 (EdgeCast)
- Outbound connection from svchost.exe to 184.51.112.80 Port 80 (Akamai)


Akamai and Edgecast are both high-end CDN networks. As they are CDN's, the IP address alone won't tell you anything, and it's not possible to know what svchost is requesting from them without capturing the traffic with something like Wireshark/Microsoft Message Analyzer and looking to see what it's doing exactly. However it's not abnormal to see connections from svchost to these companies and in all likelihood it could just be checking Certificate Revocation Lists.

- Outbound connection from svchost.exe to 224.0.0.252 Port 5355 (LLMNR)

That's for Link Local Multicast Name Resolution, which is normal as well. In all probability it will also make outbound requests to ff02::1:3 Port 5355 too (for LLMNR IPv6).

As you can see from my pictures, I have Svchost.exe already allowed by default windows firewall rules.. so why is svchost.exe trying to connect more?

From the screenshot you posted, I can't see the details of the rules that you have set for svchost. However it's likely that they're set for different protocols, addresses and ports. For example, your "Core Networking - DNS (U..." rule will be UDP out to Port 53, which is obviously totally different to TCP out to Port 80, etc.

the best example I've seen is different home pages when I start Firefox up.. and taking long time to connect to websites etc.. slow download speeds.. so I know something is up.. How do I go about defusing the situation with possible hijacking ..

I will eventually probably just reinstall windows clean.. but is there anything I can do now.. I do have a lot of programs installed etc..

If you suspect something isn't right, then you can't go wrong with going down the lines of a clean reinstall of Windows.

Nice find and explanation ARC1020. Feel reinstall will probably put these back on unless OP knows reasons why they are there in first place, by what's installed on system now.

I'll answer more after I eat but really quickly, I have the default windows firewall Rules set for svchost.exe.. so with the "default" windows 8.1 firewall rules why is svchost.exe trying to connect with more ports? that is what disturbs me..

I assume the default windows firewall rules allow all the svchost.exe needs to connect.. so why is there all the sudden more needing my approval?

I'll answer the rest later.. too hungry.. gotta eat.

thanks for replies though..

Ok well I dont' know if this helps but like I said, I reset windows firewall and then just left "core networking" all "allowed"

I imagine windows knows what svchost.exe connections it needs to allow from the default right?

my point is, Why does svchost.exe need to connect to anything I dont' care what it is on ports like 52390 etc.?

here is my latest try to connect picture..

latest1.JPG


anyway, here is my rules allowed..

I also turned off ipv6 and file sharing ect.. Anyway i'm basically wondering why after resetting the default windows firewall - svchost.exe still has connections its trying to make..

So after I reinstall windows clean, am I going to see svchost.exe trying to connect like this ?? and i'm talking before I install any of my programs..

(also to install windows clean, do I need to actually wipe the drive or just a "quick" reformat like windows does when installing..)

Well i tried to look through them quickly, they all seem to be in system32 folder.. (svchosts.exe)

I also haven't allowed them to connect though.. maybe I should let it connect and see if I notice anything..

You may get a better idea using task manager too. If concerned with Virus, run more scans as i mentioned in post #3. Those 2 services are legit, EdgeCast and Akamai. How they were installed probably from some software you have, do not think Firefox, just because use Firefox see it happening then possibly.

Again as listed in post # 3 go through Firefox's Addon list and extension list, see what is there and activated. We are guessing if it's legit or browser hijack, usually with these get redirected to other webpages and changes your default home page. Try running firefox with a add ons disabled for awhile on Help menu bar in Firefox. Not a malware expert, but not sure, do more scans with MRT and Malwarebytes, whatever Anti-Virus you have.

As you can see from my pictures, I have Svchost.exe already allowed by default windows firewall rules..

so why is svchost.exe trying to connect more? I know this is a red flag.. especially the ports its trying to connect to..
No, you have allowed svchost only TCP Out via port 443 and UDP via specific ports.
You need to add TCP Out via 80 and UDP In/Out all, or at least range 49152-65535.

--- Ok yes, Unless I messed something up, why doesn't the windows firewall naturally allow those ports for svchost.exe?? thats all i've been trying to ask..

I will reset my firewall again and see if it has a rule for svchost.exe on those ports you mentioned from the default, which is what I"m trying to say..

why wouldn't windows have those ports open from the default windows firewall rules..

for everything else, I will create rules for programs I want going in and out etc.. but Svchost.exe is windows process and they should have already opened what they needed from default firewall rules..

am i crazy? that is logical right?

By default Windows Firewall does not even block outbound connections.
You are using Windows Firewall Control addon, which added that option.
