My Computer is being attacked!

[Pumpkin_Jack]

My wife had that darn thing, it took scans with several softwares and a registry edit to get rid of it. It was like a 4 day part time job. One of the nastiest things I've seen. And it potrays itself as something good.

Well it "weaves" itself into multiple points onto your computer and deleting one will only get rid of it until the others search your computer and find that ones gone, pretty much it places 3-4 copies of its self into your computer killing one kicks in another.

For those who run into this again.. Process Hacker (google it) is a great free and open source task manager replacement. It even allows forced suspending processes, or killing processes in bulk. Wonderful wonderful tool for things like this.

There's another one called Process Explorer that works great, part of old sys internals suite (MS bought them out).

Their whole suite of the old sys internal tools are great, checkout autoruns as well.
