Thread: (Groan) computer slowed down

and bloody good it is too

I'm looking into the svchost thing too. Fileinspect.com says it should only be found n the C:\Windows\System32 folder, anywhere else could be virus, etc. So upon searching I found it in my C\Malwarebytes\Chameleon folder! Why is this? I was going to delete it but I wanted to check first.

Laptop is fast enough for me now.

AVG is crap and won't protect you, one of the worst AV

So what is good ???

I have it in mine folder too ,
I think you only run Chameleon as a way to start the security scan ,if a virus or something stops you running it normally ,so maybe just part of that process ?
doubt its a concern .
