Svchost.exe SUSPICIOUS

[Guest]

Hello

Hitman pro has detected svchost.exe in Windows/System32 suspicious.

When I click next and it gives me the scan log, it says 277 Threats Detected 

Is there 277 svchost.exe's?! Task manager seems to have a lot of them.

Should I be worried?

 

Thanks

Doesn't mean it was infected by something else.

It's malware, you can clear it.

I opened file location... it's in Windows 32 I also scanned it with Avira it's all clear.

I went to file location and scanned it again with Hitman Pro.. nothing it's so weird

Yeah lol, those are normal processes of your OS...

If a scan with malwarebytes, windows defender, and avira don't show anything then it's most likely this "hitman pro" software you're using that gives false alerts.

I scanned again like 10 more times.. svchost.exe is not coming up anymore. But still exists in System 32.

I switched from MAlwarebytes to Hitman Pro.. Hitman pro is 10x better in my opinion.. 100% detection in tests.

Probably because of the huge amount of false detections.

Should I switch back to Malwarebytes?

Because it's the service host for the operating system....that kernel32 is pretty fishy too.  Don't trust it!

What are telling me to do? ?

Up to you tbh...

That's what most people use.

What do you use? Then again I always can research the false positives and see if their malware or not

Delete system 32?  /jk

 

svchost.exe multiples itself in task manager when many things are using it because it is the service host.

Yeah I found so many svchost's in Task manager

I use windows defender + malwarebytes.

Yeah, researching before messing with processes or files is good, you could have accidentally destroyed windows
