sychost.exe is a process added to the system as a result of the LEOX.B VIRUS. This program is a registered security risk and should be removed immediately.
Go to Start and run msconfig - select all of the services and start up files. you will have ot restart your PC. This will stop the viruses from loading. Go to Limewire.com and download Norton Anti virus - follow the directions in the .txt file to install it.
Disconnect from your modem so that you are NOT online. Install Norton and do a full system scan. You will probably have to restart your PC 6 or 7 time before this process is finalised but your PC will be free of viruses and you will have a registered version of Norton.
After everything is back to normal, run msconfig again and select everything in service and startup. This will load the viruses and Norton will be able to delete them.

run system restore before the changes and then kill out all but the file ,,,or do the original restore system discs,, and do it in safe mode ,,and that should return any needed files then remember to make a restore discs for the current system settings and add-ons in case of a failure to keep like yahoo or your firewall or virus scan alive after the changes from the systemdisc

It sounds like you would have a difficulty at the same time with your confusing disk. you would favor to open your case and hear the confusing disk to work out even if it really is causing the clicking noise. at the same time as the hardpersistent is failing it would want to look like applications are freezing because the OS will continually attempt to re-examine the records on the disk because it really is getting mistakes. in case you determine the HD is the priority you want to backup any major records previously doing something else.

Get rid of AVG,reinstall your system and get a new antivirus.I recommend Kaspersky AV Personal Pro (get it at:www.phazeddl.com)

Hi, restore your computer to an earlier time.(date)
START
ALL PROGRAMS
ACCESSORIES
SYSTEM TOOLS
SYSTEM RESTORE
that will bring you back to normal. After three days without problems go back and clean your restored points. this way your computer will never have a chance of going back to that virus of yours. latez!
