Hi there people how are you? I'm new to this forum so firstly hello hope you re all well?

I have n issue regarding my CPU which seems to be at 100% all the time, I've checked the Processes and they show Google chrome using most Memory but only at 5% I assume the Virus is a hidden process? I'm running windows 7 and have AVG Anti Virus Free. Any ideas how I go about getting rid of this virus? I've tried running a scan in safe mode but am limited in my knowledge :/

Also anyone know if this software is ok? vprot.exe *32

Thanks for reading!

Matt

Hello Matt and welcome to Bleeping Computer.

Also anyone know if this software is ok? vprot.exe *32

That is is a part of AVG Safe Search

Try to disable AVG temporarily and see if that improves things.

Personally I would ditch, (uninstall), AVG and install Microsoft Security Essentials.

Let me know what happens. If disabling AVG doesn't change things we'll have some scans to see what the situation is.
