I'm trying to remove SysWOW64 because it has been causing problems for me, I have tried giving my account full control but no dice, I need help because i've been living with this virus for MONTHS, please, any help would be appreciated!

SysWOW is in my Windows folder and it's not hidden, I just can't delete it.

Hello @AneiDoru and :welcome:

If you are referring to the %SystemRoot%\SysWoW64 directory, it is an integral part of the Windows OS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64 and it should never be deleted.

However, if you believe your system is infected, malware removal actions are not permitted in this sub-forum and I recommend following the advice from the topic: Available Assistance for Possibly Infected Computers and have one of the Malware Removal Experts assist you with your issue.

If, as recommended, you do open a topic in Malware Removal Help, please make reference to this thread.

If you would like to get off to a very fast start, the Malware Removal Experts would appreciate it if you would also attach (not compress/copy/paste) both the FRST.txt and the Addition.txt output diagnostic reports from only Log Set 1 into your new topic. Please do not alter any pre-configured FRST categories as the default settings are well suited for malware removal actions.

Thank you.
