My computer has a virus

So there's two issues:

1) My computer has a virus with the svcvmx program and anything related to it. My antivirus won't start or download. I've tried everything possible I could but nothing is happening.

2) My Internet will connect but there's no Internet. I've tried to troubleshoot but its saying that my Ethernet and WiFi drivers aren't working when in actuality they're gone from the Device Manager list.

Hi.
You can try Kyhi's Recovery Tool, but you'd have to get to another working computer to download it, and make a boot-able flash drive/DVD.
Windows 10 Recovery Tools - Bootable Rescue Disk - Windows 10 Forums

In the Tool, he has a wifi connection wizard which should work for you, (with the standard drivers in there), and you can run Malwarebytes Antimalware from the Tool (be sure to check the settings box to scan for rootkits). This is especially beneficial, because you'll run MBAM while the operating system is offline; making it easier to remove the infection while it's inactive.

Perhaps a friend or neighbor has a computer you can borrow to download the Tool? Then boot to it, connect to the internet (if you can), update the virus definition database for MBAM, and run a full scan on the OS drive. If you're unable to connect to the internet, simply run MBAM as is - the existing virus database may be enough to render the infection harmless.

Once complete, an in-place repair, as zbook suggests, would probably be in order.

Note: The infection you mention would not disable your internet connection, because it's Adware, and requires an internet connection to perform its tasks. Something else is going on with your system. *Sad

Remove the Svcvmx.exe Trojan

 

My computer has a virus

check you have not got any proxy settings setup redirecting you and set it to automatically detect settings.

win + R inetcpl.cpl and the select connections lan settings, Next

check the hosts file is clean by going to the command prompt and type the following command.

type C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

once you have checked those settings you can go ahead and install a fresh copy of your network drivers

at this point I would then attempt to enable F8 menu and boot into safe mode with networking enter the following command in command prompt.

Enter the following command
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy

this will give you the F8 menu options back when you reboot.

when finished you can put them back to normal

bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard

now you check your anti virus with updates if this fails login to a boot environment using an anti virus of your choice.





also another thing to check if this fails go to win + R services.msc and check that the network connection services are running




Hope this helps some if you have any questions please just ask.
