Title: Winlogon.exe
Post by: Yasko on August 08, 2016, 09:04:46 pm
Hey guys,
Lately my laptop was going very slow and after I read on some forums,I find out that I had two of these processes,that means I have a virus. I am wondering how can I fix it? What programms should I use? Should I format the PC?
Thanks for reading.  :)

Doesn't mean for sure you have a virus. There are multiple instances of that process that could be running from different locations.

Has your laptop only been running fairly slowly since you upgraded to Windows 10? (assuming you did the in-place upgrade)

No I didn't upgrade to Windows 10. After running MalwareBytes it seems to disappeared. Thanks anyway!  :)

I Had the same problem like you! i installed a program called '''Malware bytes'' and scanned and after that my pc is so fast and clean just like new!
it might delete the files you use but its good for you to delete because they are viruses.

I'd rather look if there are any processes using abnormally high resources (CPU or RAM usage, disk load).

Right click on both of them and do "Open File Location". If one of them is not in "C:\Windows\System32", you are fucked. Download Malwarebytes and run a scan without internet (after downloading updated definitions) as fast as you can.

try disabling svchost service on msconfig that might be slowing you down  :cowboy:
