[QUOTE="Ryan_Heyel, post: 827556, member: 81463"] Hello, I am running on Windows 7 professional 64 bit. the other day I booted up my computer and right when I booted in, chrome opened for a half a second and went away without me touching it. After a few minutes I got a pop up in my bottom right corner for an antivirus alert program labeled "TACHYON ENDPOINT SECURITY." I never download this so I went to task manager to kill it. When I try to end the task I get a pop up. "Operation could not be completed, access is denied." If I go to the file location. (C:/program files (x86)/TACHYON/T5) and try to delete anything it gives me the same error for lack of administrative privileges. I use firefox, I never use chrome, it was there as a backup. So I went and deleted everything associated with it. If I try to change my administrative privileges it wont let me, everything is greyed out. If I go to CMD to try and force delete it, it also gives me an error. I notices the program had created two folders in my C: and D: drives, in the main directory. A folder called " !@IEUK" if this folder is deleted, renamed or edited in any way, windows explorer crashes, denying you the ability to get rid of it. I scanned with malwarebytes for root kits and it actually found a handful of various other problems but none of them were Tachyon. When I boot into safe mode, even with networking options enabled, all my internet connections are blocked. I am using a wireless PCI adapter and it can not be enabled. I went into the registry, searched for TACHYON files and tried to delete the files I found but it gives me "deletion error, can not delete files." I tried windows backup and after selecting the backup date of August 1st (the only one available) the computer began the process of restoring. After ten minutes or so it popped back to the desktop with an error. "There are no available restore points" the program deleted it during the process. brilliant. I downloaded spy hunter on my laptop and put the install file on a thumb drive due to everyone recommending it. However when I go through the install process I get an install error. Setup failed. Same with another program Wiper soft. It will not allow anything to be installed. I downloaded the Farbar recovery tool and moved it over with my thumb drive. The scan worked, however due to disabled internet I can not post the file, and I do not want to bring the possibly corrupted thumb drive back to my working laptop. This thing sucks. I dont want to loose all my stuff and I'm not to keen on trying to upgradae windows 7 in hopes of windows 10 fixing it as there are several other posters who seem to be running windows 10 and have the same problem.
