[QUOTE="monarchdj, post: 282703, member: 29466"] This morning a message box popped up in the middle of my screen and said something like "Google Chrome is not able to write to it's directory" but I don't even have Google Chrome installed. I went to Task Manager and noticed several processes running with Google Chrome as the description, but the processes are named "yzcuofj.exe". This seemed odd, so I was searching the web for help and came across this website. I'm a little hesitant to start downloading and running executable files, for fear of "fake helpers" getting people to download malware/viruses, but this site seems pretty legit...so here goes! I'm guessing the first thing you'll ask me to do is run FRST? :) (although I've seen in other threads you've asked users to run ZOEK or RogueKiller or TDSSKiller, etc) [/QUOTE]
