I would like to say that RegRun has helped me on more than 1 occasion when it comes to spyware/adware by letting me know automatically that a piece of it got added to Windows startup. There is so much spyware/addware out there today it's hard to imagine being without RegRun. I like many other features too including the daily registry backups and file protection.

Useless chostsv.exe - Useless
chostsv.exe
PWSteal.Banpaes.C.
Is a Trojan horse that attempts to steal online banking information.

Also known as PWSteal.Banpaes, PWSteal.Banpaes.B

When PWSteal.Banpaes.C is executed, it performs the following actions:
Creates the following files:
%System%\Chostsv.exe
%System%\Mouse32.dll
%System%\Keybrd32.dll
%System%\Kuser.dll
%System%\Serv.dll
C:\Temp\Install.exe (This may not be created if the Temp folder does not exist in this location).

Adds the value:
"chostsv"="%System%\chostsv.exe"
to the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Logs keystrokes if the keystrokes are entered in windows that have any of the following strings in the window's title bar:
Caixa Economica Federal
Internet Banking CAIXA
BESC - Banco do Estando de Santa Catarina
Banco do Estado de Santa Catarina
Gerenciador Financeiro
Teclado Virtual
HSBC
Credicard
MasterCard
and some other.

Then, this Trojan sends the keystrokes to a predefined email address.

Manual removal:
Navigate to the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
and delete the value:
"chostsv"="%System%\chostsv.exe"

Or use RegRun to automatically remove this registry item.
