ping.exe keeps popping up in task manager and using all resources


Recommended Posts

Hi thank you for reading this. A couple days ago I had a virus problem but I got it all cleaned up with malwarebytes and AVG. But only one problem remains and so far I have used malwarebytes, AVG, and spybot S&D but all scans came up clean.

In my task manager this program called ping.exe keeps popping up when I terminate it. And it just keeps taking up all my resources with no end. When I terminate it it just comes back a few minutes later and starts around 6k kb usage then scales up until my computer is using 100% usage. Even when I suspend it it still keeps going. Please help.

Its not letting me post the DDS and attach on here

i am so sick of this computer i am about to smash it i could be doing better things like going to play basketball or some stuff this is f*king bs to have to put up with this and i cant find out how to solve this problem anywhere and I dont have the windows cd to reinstall ping.exe or whatever it is and no detectors whatsoever can detect the problem cause i think it changed the file itself and this website is stuff it wont even let me attach the files and i followed the instructions perfectly yet others can attach files it looks like i have no idea what i am doing wrong and thisis bullshit, maybe this ping.exe is happening for a reason because it's like a metaphor for my life when I don't take my medication i get worse and worse until my graphic card overheats and explodes then it resets all over again this is some bullshit help a brotha out

i can see u are desperate here

I had the same ping.exe issue but managed to solve it, or so i hope

u can view my thread here: http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=99080&st=0&gopid=491453entry491453

im still waiting for someone to check for any further infection

I do not know how u can fix the ping.exe issue

BUT a TEMPORARY fix, assuming u are on win7, is to go to task manager => performance => resource manager and SUSPEND ping.exe

there is no point terminating it as it will reappear soon after

hope u can find an actual solution soon

good luck
