Hello, sorry for my bad English, I'm Portuguese! :D

So, a week ago I was getting a bunch of pop-ups on Google Chrome what was not normal, after that, I saw two COM Surrogate but I thought it was normal, after like three days I start to get worried about the pop-ups and I remembered the two COM Surrogate in the task manager, searched on the internet and I saw that it is a Trojan malware located in the System32.

I tried some stuff but nothing did work.

Could you please help me?
Thanks!

Hello,


Please download Zemana AntiMalware and save it to your Desktop.
  • Install the program and once the installation is complete it will start automatically.
  • Without changing any options, press Scan to begin.
  • After the short scan is finished, if threats are detected press Next to remove them.
Note: If restart is required to finish the cleaning process, you should click Reboot. If reboot isn't required, please restart your computer manually.
  • Open Zemana AntiMalware again.
  • Click on

    icon and double click the latest report.
  • Now click File > Save As and choose your Desktop before pressing Save.
  • The only left thing is to attach saved report in your next message.

Thanks for you attention,

So, I scan it, and reboot the computer manually, the two COM Surrogate still appears on the task manager.

With this message I'm sending the report. :D

    Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).

  • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  • When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

So, whenever I open the Process Explorer the two COM Surrogate disappears from the task manager. I don't know what it does, but I think its the cause of the pop-ups that I'm still getting on Google Chrome
