Is this a virus?

[Senden]

Hope this is the right section but anyhow, seeing how everyone here seems to be pretty knowledgeable on computers, I was wondering if you all could take a look at this and tell me if you think this is suspicious?



Basically it's the conhost.exe which I'm worried about. It's only came up recently and I can't open file location, check properties of it, close process or anything. I noticed it a few days ago after I was fiddling around with VPN programs to let me play Battlefield 4 early.

Anyway, does this look like a virus? If so, any advice on the best course of action for getting rid of it? I'm running AVG virus and it hasn't picked it up.

If you see something you don't understand then just Google it - https://www.google.co.uk/#q=conhost.exe&safe=off

I use a program called STARTER to look at programs running and from there it will Google search for you.

I also often go into Programs & Features from Control Panel to see if anything has been installed I don't know about.

I've googled it, it's a legit process but seeing how I can't see any information on it through the processes screen has left me a little skeptical.

And looking on here: http://www.file.net/process/conhost.exe.html has mixed views with a few claiming it's a trojan.
