How to get rid of pesky process
My computer is running really slow. I know that I have malware on it but right now it is too slow to download any anti-malware programs. I have tried ending processes that I know are slowing it down. But there is one process called rgm7j9mk5.exe that I can not find any information about. There are between 20-30 instances of this process running. When ever I try ending them I can get down to 7 or 8 and then it replicates back to 20-30. Any ideas what this process is or how to get rid of it.

The General Security forum is only for general questions regarding security software and things of that nature but not for actually removing malware as we have qualified helpers who are the only members who are authorized to assist with those matters. You can easily identify them as they have either a gold or blue shield beside their usernames. Please refer to this excerpt from the rules:

http://www.techguy.org/rules.html

Quote:
Log Analysis/Malware Removal - In order to ensure that advice given to users is consistent and of the highest quality, those who wish to assist with security related matters must first graduate from one of the malware boot camp training universities or be approved by the administration as already being qualified. Those authorized to help with malware issues have a gold shield next to their name and authorized malware removal trainees have a blue shield next to their names. If you'd like to participate in a training program, please contact a Moderator or see this article.
I'm going to close this thread and ask you to repost in the Malware Removal & HijackThis Logs forum for the proper assistance.
