Hi,

Recently I have been having issues with internet browsers using up 40% CPU usage, even when they are closed. First the problem started with K-Melon, so i uninstalled it. Then it the same thing was happening to Firefox, so i uninstalled that aswell. And now its happening with Internet Explorer and i've had enough of uninstalling web browsers. I have been having a look at other posts and it looks like i might have a 'backdoor' trojan or something like that, but i cant be sure....

Hello ch@osclocked

We are concerned about this line in HJT >>> O20 - Winlogon Notify: Antiwpa - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\antiwpa.dll
An illegal software crack used to bypass copy protection for Windows.
Do you have any info on this that may help me to continue with the cleaning ??

The forum's policy on illegal software can be found here (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288).

Thanks peku006
