I have an LMS.exe file in my fonts folder

[dan223]

The only way i can actually see it is if i use chrome.

It runs automatically and when i try to close the proccess it reopens it self after 5-10 minutes.

While running it uses nearly 100% of my cpu.

I was able to delete the file using the command prompt, but it seems it reinstalled itself almost immediately.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Download attached fixlist.txt file (end of reply) and save it to the Desktop, or the folder you saved FRST into. "Do not open that file"
NOTE. It's important that both FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

Open FRST and press the Fix button just once and wait.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt) or the folder it was ran from. Please post it to your reply.

There will also be a Zip file save to your Desktop, attach that to your reply...
