(C:)\Windows\syswow64\svchost| Another svchost appeared and is using more then 50% of my PC's CPU

I've found a video :
It says that there should only be one svchost in C:\windows\system32. It's true that I have that in that location and more appeared at different locations. The video/description says that any other ones in different places are viruses/malware and i should get rid of them. But I know that svchost is an important file to my computer so I'm worried about deleting the one thats using 55% of my CPU in the location (C\Windows\syswow64\svchost. Should I delete it or not?

It appears that it was worse then it seemed. I'm new so when I went to the guidelines and tried to go to the link to download the farbar scanner. My chrome browser immediately shuts down. Then I tried searching it on google. I found out that anything I search that contains farbar or any link that contains the word farbar it would shut down my browser(which is chrome by the way)

Nevermind. I used bing on a different browser and it didn't shut it down. I used avast secure browser. But it still concerns me that I can't do it on chrome

Well I downloaded the farbar recovery scan tool and now i've encountered another problem. The virus/malware on my pc prevents me from opening the file

Hello,


Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool x64 and save it to a flash drive.

• Plug the flashdrive into the infected PC.
• Boot to windows recovery by using one of the methods on this link: Boot to Advanced Startup Options in Windows 10
• If you're unable to boot to recovery you will need to create a recovery drive. You can do it by following this guide: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026852/windows-create-a-recovery-drive
  Make sure to uncheck Back up system files to the recovery drive box, so that process goes faster.

• Now you should get a window like this where you need to click Troubleshoot.

• In the next window, click Advanced options and select Command Prompt.
• Now you should log in into your account and after that Command Promptwindow.

Access the notepad and identify your USB drive

In the Command Prompt please type in:

notepad

and press Enter.

• When the notepad opens, go to File menu.

  You need to replace e with the letter of your USB drive taken from notepad!
