Hello, myself along with others are receiving a message that a file win(group of numbers).exe wants to run and when I click cancel it pops right back up with a different group of numbers. Ive tried different virus scans and its not being picked up. Its very annoying and I think the longer it stays in my system the more damage it will cause. I'd like to get rid of it as soon as possible, I looked up some information on the file itself and mostly every site i go on says that its a malware program and each website suggests i use a different free virus scan. I have an updated version on norton on my system but it does not find it. The only thing norton picks up is some tracking cookies here and there. malewarebytes forum moderators suggest using their program of course along with combofix, and microsoft forum suggests microsoft security scanner. I would like some help on this problem it would be much appreciated.

I strongly advise you do not use tools like ComboFix and others, without the guidance of a trained malware helper, if used improperly, you can cause more damage to your computer.
