Mkeeper Virus?

[BDK]

Following, I have this same issue. When i end the process it restarts immediately and if i try to stop it it says Not authorized. How can I stop Mkeeper.exe task so I can delete it?

[BDK]

So after an accidental download, I removed everything with the exception of "Mkeeper".

When I try and uninstall it, I have to end the process in task manager, every time I end the process it restarts immediately, making it impossible to remove it from my computer. When I try and click "Stop" It tells me that I am "Not authorized". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The log shows you did not ask Malwarebytes to remove it on the last one.

 

Please restart the computer and then run the following steps and post back the logs as an attachment when ready.

STEP 01

• If you're already running Malwarebytes 3 then open Malwarebytes and check for updates. Then click on the Scan tab and select Threat Scan and click on Start Scan button.
• If you don't have Malwarebytes 3 installed yet please download it from here and install it.
• Once installed then open Malwarebytes and check for updates. Then click on the Scan tab and select Threat Scan and click on Start Scan button.
• Once the scan is completed click on the Export Summary button and save the file as a Text file to your desktop or other location you can find, and attach that log on your next reply.
• If Malwarebytes won't run then please skip to the next step and let me know on your next reply.

STEP 02
