Method 2:

Try to run Microsoft Safety Scanner for any malware or spyware infection and check if it helps.

Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Hello

    Yes, the Conhost.exe file is needed under Windows 7.

    It was included in Windows 7 to fix a few problems that appeared in Windows XP and Windows Vista.

    You can see a good explanation of these issues and the reason why the conhost.exe is necessary in the following article.

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/4996/what-is-conhost.exe-and-why-is-it-running/

  • Vista - conhost.exe - what is - this?

    conhost.exe is in my msconfig file, but I can't find the file on my computer.  What is it? (In Vista, the most recent version)

    conhost.exe is in my msconfig file, but I can't find the file on my computer.  What is it? (In Vista, the most recent version)

    Nice try at a recovery of Mr. Smithers, but a clear reading of the issue and a quick answer, that's what is needed.  I always run virusware and malware.

    From what I've determined, conhost.exe does not (or should not) be on a Vista system. And, if you read my question, it is not on my system, only in my msconfig file, so I just disabled this line.

  • __And C://Windows/system32/Services.exe hacks C://Windows/system32/conhost.exe

    Record unauthorized access, after running Norton scan, I thought I have check the history would see what he had done recently
    and I noticed that
    C://Windows/system32/conhost.exe
    C://Windows/system32/services.exe
    Be the medium threat for "unauthorized access logged data.

    I was wondering what were these since the Conhost (which does not resemble a good name) appears more than once in the same thing.

    Is that a threat or not? I know that Norton detects a lot of things unnceisary and why it would just log the problem and not do something if it was a threat.

    Answers appreciated muchly

    * edit *.
    Im not sure if I did, it's clear there was no threat in the scan (other than cookies) not detected that came from the history of safety.

    Virus and malware usually do their best to hide behind innocent names. You would never find a virus with a name such as "virus.exe", for obvious reasons. So, it is quite reasonable to assume that 'conhost' does not relate to a con-job. As far as I know, it is called by the shell, and the "con" refers to the "Console".

    Let him go.

  • Why are there seven of the process called "conhost" running?

    I've seen other questions like this, but each answer or solution that they give to the user just won't work for me. My problem is that in "Task Manager" under the "Processes" tab there are about seven of the process 'conhost.exe' running, and when I click 'End process' to each other, they reappear in less then a minute. Another process that is open is "taskhost.exe" and there are about four of them running. In this photo that I took, I would like to know why everything I put in a box is running. He also says that Notepad is open when it isn't. Every detail is that it is still open even when I restart my computer.

    The picture is not very clear, and the Description list should be expanded to read the full text,

    But what I can make out...

    - cmd.exe - would be Windows command prompt, which looks like you've opened twice (or maybe are

    in the process of running in the background?).

    - conhost.exe - Console window host (which is what you'll see with the extended Description) has to do with the console Windows (command prompt). It is a "fix" to the command line that allows to cut and paste.

    If two of them would have to do with the open cmd prompt.

    If you R / click each entry and select open file location it brings you to the System 32 file.

    -Re - open after you finish the task it is dependence and interaction of other processes.

    -If the machine is on a network, the other conhost.exe can reflect what's open on these machines.

    -Some Services also to open up other instances of conhost.exe.

    -However, it's the short story. Apparently, there are many other programs that use conhost.exe

    and it's another companion, csrss, but to find them all would take time and research.

    - Notepad - which I guess you have open.

    Taskhost - tasks of four windows running

    -Restart Windows can decrease the number of conhost.exe "opened", unless you have the startup programs

    loading in the background that use this process

    (type - msconfig - in the command run - click in the Configuration of the system at boot).

    After the update my wife 5 iPhone and my iPhone 6 ios 10.0.2, we met problems.  His phone will not ring when a call comes in, and my phone does not sound an alert when a message arrives.

    Hi MikeDallos,

    I understand that after your wife 5 iPhone update and your iPhone 6 the new iOS, you both know questions in regards the phone doesn't ring do not or may not alert you to the alert notifications when you receive a message. I use my iPhone all the time and I count on the possibility of having my phone alert me for incoming calls and messages. We'll see what we can do.

    The first thing I want you to do is to restart the two iPhones. Make sure that your wife's iPhone has the ring/silent switch on mute.

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    Here is an article that goes on measures to be taken for this issue:

    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch speaker

    For your iPhone you did not give a warning sound with message notifications, you'll also want to review this article as well:

    Please tender back if you still have problems.

    Have a great day.

  • What happens in Sierra w Canon scanners?

    Canon started late to upgrade the drivers for its scanners, but the list of those still pending is very long...

    My question is: Sierra is a minor update (i.e. risk limited) or rewriting profoundly affects the relevant areas in the analysis? What is likely to happen if I update before the drivers are ready?

    Specifically, I am trying to scan documents Canon imageFORMULA DR-C225W

    Thank you

    Is Sierra a minor update?

    No upgrade of the OS is minor. Framework can load and existing software may be rendered uselss.

    Apple provides the operating system to developers in advance months to make changes are necessary for the developer to make their decision on what they want to do. Some developers will be in fact stop software for older models and you can not see support for a specific device. In these events, contact Canon and see if they can provide a beta driver or provide a workaround solution. Otherwise, it is an excellent reason to keep a backup of your computer to restore it at a time where the operating system and the hardware work together where Sierra makes the incompatible camera and canon does not offer a solution.

  • What are disk images and can they be removed

    In downloads, I have a lot of disk images containing memory - such as Chrome - beyond 1 GB.

    I can remove them? Does make a difference? What are doing?

    All the other tips to speed up my mac because it is really slow!

    Have just updated the OS to Sierra - & that made matters worse, not better!

    A disk image is a convenient way for a developer to package and deliver the program. Once you have copied the program in your Applications folder, there is no reason to keep. You can safely remove. Note: Make sure that you have copied the image program in your applications folder before deleting.

  • What is the speed for OS 10.10 on 13-inch, early 2009

    My 13-inch, Early 2009 MacBook runs with OS 10.9.5 basically OK on speed, and it's a very good, loaded with the fine software is useful but old and slow sometimes with all additional popups and deflect and is very nervous about the links I don't want and mail that I didn't delete.

    The system is pushing me to the update/update 10.10 and I continue to resist the Apple push, the fear of losing what I have and I'm really happy with.

    I was looking for the answer among existing similar concerns, but did not get the simple answer and clear what will I win by the new OS 10.10.

    My fear is real or just scared?

    Apple has removed 10.10.5 and 10.11.5 from the App Store, so only your option upgrade is 10.12.

  • Does anyone know what my kernel panic kext refers to?

    I was having repeated panic the kernel in the Sierra, all type 13 and all listing the kext even first in the backtrace:

    Extensions of core in backtrace:

    com Apple.KEC.pthread

    I'm not a developer so I am just grasp at straws in my diagnosis, but does anyone know what exactly that might be related to the?

    For the record, I tried to remove RAM 3 rd-party and disconnect all devices. I have not been able to identify specific behavior that triggers the panic, and it may happen even when the computer is not used. I tried the Safe Mode for short periods of time without incident, but who can tell me only so much. I have an own account which has not yet experienced the problem, but I can't run in very long and get real work done. I'm open to other ideas for troubleshooting. I really do not have to recreate my account from scratch.

    The first class kext is can be the last load one - that is not necessarily the one that is choking on the Mac.

    If you want to help spread the output in full panic. Frankly, I don't have the ability to diagnose for you, all I know is that you give us your own diagnosis when the symptoms detailed is really required to help.
