[QUOTE="VWagner, post: 295197, member: 30433"] Hello and help! My infection began November 8. Task manager shows 10 to 15 processes with identical names jpokptfz.exe*32 Google Chrome, using up to 40% of CPU. The processes reappear immediately after ending manually. Chrome is not currently installed on my machine. Computer is running very slow; fake Google Chrome is causing high CPU usage. Also, today I uninstalled Java, but I can't delete folder appdata/locallow/Sun; looks like subfolders contain the fake Google Chrome .exe files. I ran SuperAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.0, and Norton 360 AV with no success. [/QUOTE]
