Solved svchost.exe hollow process in syswow64 folder

[diimaan]

I have two hollow process svchost.exe files running from the syswow64 folder! If I visit any antimalware website or antivirus website the web browser closes automatically!




Attached the screenshots of those two processes running. From terminal and task manager.

Hello,

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• 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.

Here is the Fixlog file. After running the fix the lastpass extension in my chrome got deleted! Was it infected? Now I do not see those two processes in the task manager.

And what will be the best way to avoid such things happen in the future? Any recommended software or anti malware or anti virus application?

Yes, please reinstall lastpass.

Stay away from pirated software and cracks, that is the best way to avoid infections in the future.
