  1. Is this script safe


    *Warning may cause harm*

    I seen it posted in a forum its supposed to find if any svchost.exe's running on the system contain trojans or malicious backdoors/hidden scripts and viruses.

    Set "Suspicious_LogFile=%~dp0%ComputerName%_%ProcessName%_Suspicious_Paths.txt"

    set "p=%%b"
    for /f %%f in ('echo !p! ^|Findstr /LI "%Legit_Location%"') do (
    echo [!Counter!] : !p!
    )

  4. Is this script safe

    Not sure, if it is very helpful, it just list processes not located within System32's folder.
    Windows processes are listed separately, so that is a dead giveaway for that one.
    Malware usually use hijacked svchost.exe and this script will not tell you that.
