    Synchost.exe


    I'm concerned this may be a virus, I googled this file and most sources say to delete it because it is a RAT. Synchost.exe f188a7b1-5909-4682-9485-4152558865ca?upload=true.png
    and here are the details that virus total gave me about the files. https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/c9303f346a2746509f9fae152e6e7285f72b34ac14c01abed5b0224832a29ca1/details

    So my question is, is this a virus and is it safe to remove or not because i don't want to corrupt anything on my computer and make windows not start or something.
    Please look at the import section on the virus total page and let me know.
    Everything i scanned it with said it was safe but the internet says otherwise.

    :)

    SyncHost

    Thank you.

    "May be a virus" is not the definitive answer I was looking for. SyncHost it keeps reappearing on my heavily infected notebook. I also came across it on a new Windows 10 PC at the Federal Office I work at which means McAfee is not catching it. Questions
    about SyncHost from a few years ago were received answers that it was NOT a Microsoft program. As far as I am concerned, its a virus. Why take a chance? Whack it.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Hi Max,

    SyncHost.exe may be a virus. EXE ("executable") files are files that contain step-by-step instructions that a computer follows to carry out a function.

    To be on the safe side, we recommend that you scan your PC by downloading
    Microsoft Safety Scanner    . It is a free downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious
    software.

    We're here if you have more queries
