Can I remove Backdoor.Bot?

Snakeeyes21

When malwarebytes was running its normal scan it came up with
C:\Users\THOMAS\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\svchost.exe (Backdoor.Bot)

After googling it I found out irs a backdoor trojan, but also found out windows uses the svchost,exe to run

is it safe for me to remove this without messing up windows?

Thanks

Whilst I'm not an expert, I say it is perfectly safe for you to remove the fake svchost.exe file as it is in a completely different place to the real ones.

Remove it

Whats the DATABASE version of the malwarebytes scan and was it a QUICK one or a FULL one?
