[QUOTE="Jamex, post: 410293, member: 37989"] Hello, I think i got infected after after a P2P download (uTorrent now removed). My system, protected by AVG Free, suddenly slowed down, in Task Manager I was seeing dozens of cmd & other processes (using up to 5GB memory) and my processor at 99%. I downloaded Spybot S&D and purchased AVG Pro, did multiple scans of my computer and my Network drive, which has helped immeasurably, but I'm still seeing a few suspect processes and getting many Fake Flash player exploit notices from AVG. My computer is also definitely not running as fast as pre infection. Numerous searches for a cure brought me here, I have to say, kudos to you folks for sorting out so many peoples systems! :) Thanks for looking, Jamex [/QUOTE]
