I found out recently that my computer is afflicted with the Service_KMS.exe Trojan. I detected the Trojan with Avast Free Antivirus. After running a boot-scan Avast deleted the files associated with this Trojan. After a day, the Trojan was detected again. I ran another boot-scan with Avast and the process repeated. The Trojan is still there.

Current Problems:

  • Computer has drastically slowed down
  • Computer Shutsdown/Restarts/Logs Off
  • Computer Freezes temporarily and either unfreezes or shutsdown/restarts

I began to research the Trojan and it says that it is very dangerous. I have tried the methods so far in this article; however, I was not able to locate the files after selecting Show All Hidden Files http://www.removewindowsspyware.com/fixerror-exe/service_kms.exe.html

Thank you for your time

That's not a Virus. That is the Scheduled service to run every time you log in to your windows to keep your windows and Microsoft Office programs suit's licenses activated. the service is made by programs like kmspico, KMSnano or KMSauto.net. if you're willing to stop using those programs you can go to "program files" folder in your C drive to remove them. hope that helps.

This is really a virus. the KMS Activators don't create Service_KMS.exe...

Good tutorial here: http://www.computerimprovment.com/exe-file-error/service_kms.exe-fix-35646/
