    Strange processes on my process list


    Hello.

    First, I don't know is it right forum for this question. If not, please move my thread to other forum.

    I was not looking at this list and today I did it for no reason and noticed something that I'm not sure about.

    1. hyoidragaslope.exe.
    User name that run this process : System
    Location : C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
    File details : Screenshot by Lightshot

    Searching on Google did NOT give my any result so I don't know anything more about this file.

    2. background worker.exe
    User name that run this process : System
    Location : C:\ProgramData\Digger\
    File details : Screenshot by Lightshot

    Once again, I never noticed these 2 files. I don't check it regulary but this one time I saw this and what to ask what is it.

    Thanks in advance

    Whenever a process is not mentioned in Google, most likely it is a virus.
    To find out
    Run a full anti virus scan
    Run a full scan with malwarebytes
    Run a full scan with eset online.
    These are good and should reveal the problem.
    If nothing is shown, the security specialists will be here to help.
