I see a lot of different answers to this question.
I've been downloading a lot of things lately (just to kind of foot around)
and I have a random folder called "6d1a934e74fc8530e929abac0e2e" and just as
I was writing this another one showed up...there is another folder but this
one has something that is a text and it's long and it shows all these
proccesses that are happening in less than a second...if need I can post
it...I really don't want spyware or whatever because I got scared the last
time I got one and now I don't want to get it again...it's really important
to get this computer working properly...If there is anything you can
do...PLEASE help me...I know you get this but I can't stress that I really
need to fix this...The files in the folders are mrt.exe and mrtstub.exe (one
folder has something that is like mrt.exe _p whatever that means...thanks in
advance...
