Microsoft Register Server (regsvr32.exe) is using 50% of cpu power


Recommended Posts

This is happening second time. I deleted all the adware that was possible to delete, once 3 months random applications are installed on my pc and after deleting them i see the regsvr32 using 50% of my cpu. Last time i tried fixing the issue, the regsvr32 all of a sudden stoped using so much cpu power, but recently another adware got installed on my pc although i did not downloaded anything suspicious from the internet it just appeared on itself meaning that the remains of the adware virus were sitting somewhere in my computer. I need help!

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 when running FRST fix"
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.

Next,

Please download AdwCleaner by Malwarebytes and save the file to your Desktop. https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/adwcleaner

Thanks for the update, good to hear your system is good now... Continue:

Right click on FRST here: C:\Users\xaxlo\Desktop\FRST64.exe and rename uninstall.exe when complete right click on uninstall.exe and select "Run as Administrator"

If you do not see the .exe appended that is because file extensions are hidden, in that case just rename FRST64 to uninstall

That action will remove FRST and all created files and folders...
