Windows 10: I think i have a virus. I need assistance.

Hello everyone! My first post here *Smile

So, i might have a virus on my laptop and i will need your help figuring it out.
I found out about it by surprise,i just opened task manager and went to network activity to see whats accessing my internet and i found out that APSDaemon.exe , AppleMobileDeviceService.exe , Itunes.exe are using weird network address,which is Code: www.nosteam.ro[/quote] I did a little research and found out that this website was used to download cracked games (its been taken down i guess,no longer accessible)
Do i have to worry about it? should i look for a way to remove it? Can you check your task manager and see which address being used on your pc?

:)

I think I have a SysWOW64 virus. I really need help ASAP

I am using Windows 10.

I have (as of yesterday) been struggling to find the cause of my slow computer. The screen pauses every other second and just works generally way slower than usual. I believe I have some sort of trojan virus. I have performed countless tests and scans with
malwarebytes and the built in windows defender. I have removed all I can find that is suspicious and the problem remains.

My main query is with the SysWOW64 folder, located in C:Windows. I had found that there were a build up of svchost.exe files, so I assumed that I had a trojan virus. All over the internet, on many forums, I saw people saying that if you have any svchost.exe
files located outside of system32, they should be considered as malware. I found one in the task manager that was located in the SysWOW64 folder and was suspicious. I saw loads of videos and posts about a SysWOW64 virus, however many people were also saying
that it is an important part of the Windows 10 operating system.

How can I find out if it is a virus?

If not, how might I go about finding the virus ASAP?

(This computer has been rendered useless at the moment and I have important work that needs doing on it)

Is it even a virus, or could it be a hardware issue/malfunction?

Many thanks - all help is sincerely appreciated,

Billy
