Hello,
today I was trying to install a program on my computer but I noticed something was wrong and the install folder was empty. Went to task manager and found a unnamed svchost.exe running at 50% and another at 0%, and the directory of the one in 50% was "C:\Windows\SysWOW64". I restarted my computer and deleted what I had installed, I can kill the process in the task manager bit I don't know if it does something and it still runs everytime I restart my computer.

Hello,

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
    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.

Thank you so much for the really fast response and I think it is fixed, there is not a svchost running with high cpu usage and there isn't a file with that name in any other folder.
Here's the fixlog.
