Security.Hijack svchost.exe?
in File Detections
Posted
Hi, first: I really don't know if this should be posted here, but I think it should (more later).
I've just installed Windows 10 January Preview with Windows Update (had Windows 8) and of course, I ran security scans (I am paranoid).
I ran one security scan yesterday on Windows 8 and nothing was found, I ran Hyper search and Malwarebytes found this:
HKLM/Software/WOW6432NODE/Microsoft/WINDOWS NT/CURRENTVERSION/IMAGE FILE EXECUTION OPTIONS/svchost.exe detected as Security.Hijack
and
HKLM/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS NT/CURRENTVERSION/IMAGE FILE EXECUTION OPTIONS/svchost.exe detected as Security.Hijack
Both files are now in quarantine, I restarted W10 and my system runs fine, another scan (hyper and full) found nothing... so I am not really sure what to do now, are these files really malicious? I found nothing at all yesterday on Windows 8, so that's the reason I post it here, maybe a mod can move it, if it's malicious.
I hope you know what this is and should I delete the quarantined files? Thank you
