Hi,

rkill will kill running processes that seems suspicious, not all of them need to be malicious. A "killed process" is nothing dramatic, it is cured by a simple reboot, or in your case by launching the AV update once more.

The process that was killed was indeed the update process of your Anti virus program, it will only show when you happen to run rkill at the same time as your AV is updating. All other processes of your AV have been untouched.

Please delete all remaining tools and logs from your desktop manually.

regards myrti

It appears that this issue is resolved, therefore I am closing the topic. If that is not the case and you need or wish to continue with this topic, please send me or any Moderator a Personal Message (PM) that you would like this topic re-opened.
