DLLHost.exe / sysWOW64 in Windows Folder

djchip · Aug 22, 2014

Hey Guys

i got a computer here that has 30+ DLLHost.exe running according to the taskbar , using all the CPU power to the point that its slowing and freezing the computer down alot. right clicked on one of them and it took me to folder called sysWOW64 in the windows folder right underneath the System32, from my experience this folder itself is filled with trojans and malware and such. is it possible to just delete the whole folder itself or is there a method of removing this DLL problem

Be careful with this folder. C:\windows\syswow64 is a needed system folder. Try running a boot time virus scan and see if it can help clean it up.
