Red Eyes Metal Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I dunno if anyone can help here, but it seems I keep getting this little "file" that keeps poppin up every now and again, and it's kinda of annoying when I'm doing something like watching a film. The name of the file is k3dfvgkT.exe, and it seems to appear when Internet Explorer starts running, but the issue with that is I don't use IE, only Google Chrome. IE just pops out of nowhere. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone help? Have you tried running a Virus scan?I have tried searching the file to see if there's any information on it but nothing has come up.

Can anyone help? I'd say that you computer has an infection of some sort, as it sounds like k3dfvgkT.exe is trying to auto run IE. Best thing to do is put you computer into safe mode and then try virus scanning. If the problem still persists try d/ling HiJackThis, run the program and post the log on there forums for help.

Jamie2882 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 If you can find the file on your computer then restrict permissions, properties>security>edit>disable read & execute. Also make sure you scan it with heuristics enabled because it may be a new virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
