Hi,
I've noticed in task manager that there are two background processes without a name. When I check their location it directs me to syswow64 and the file is called svchost.exe.

I've tried multiple malware scans but it doesn't show up there. I did get rid of quite a few other malwares and adwares but this one just doesn't show up.
I hope you can help me. Thank you.

Hello,


FRST.gif
Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

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
    FRST.gif
    icon and select
    RunAsAdmin.jpg
    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.
