[QUOTE="DG84, post: 646502, member: 63715"] Hi all, As I wrote in the form above, I've had strange issues with my laptop since yesterday. Basically, disk usage is periodically driven up to 100% by a COM Surrogate process in SysWOW64, with which I've never had problems before. I also spotted a strange Google Chrome process in the background yesterday - could that be related to the problem? Having read through some similar threads here, I assume this is a Trojan? I would be very grateful for some assistance on how to get rid of it if it is one. Neither my normal security tool (GData) nor a Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scan detected anything. Best wishes and thanks in advance, Daniel [/QUOTE]
