    conhost.exe infected. (backdoored)


    Hi all..


    Well,i dont know if this is normal but why is there always two conhost.exe
    And i mean its always running..

    So i logon to my computer check task mananger and there are two conhost.exe running.

    So i then check WinPatrol and i go to active tasks and its running there also..But it should not be..Because it should only be like your webbrowser and stuff?..

    So i killed the process and deleted the conhost.exe but then the cmd would not work so i put it back in fresh again from my windows 7 disc..But still the same problem..

    I have runned full scans with
    Avira
    KAS IS 2011
    Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    Spy-Bot

    May someone please please help?

    Thank You.

    conhost.exe is part of the Command Prompt.
