If so list out all the running processes for me:

If any of these processes exist - end them


AVR10.exe

41.exe
smss32.exe
winlogon32.exe
winupdate86.exe
msa.exe
a.exe
b.exe
c.exe
notepad.exe
logon.exe
critical_warning.html
lsm32.sys
opeia.exe
IS2010.exe
xxxsysguard.exe


do not reboot - run these programs:


Please download exeHelper to your desktop.
  • Double-click on exeHelper.com to run the fix.
  • A black window should pop up, press any key to close once the fix is completed.
  • Post the contents of log.txt (Will be created in the directory where you ran exeHelper.com)
Note If the window shows a message that says "Error deleting file", please re-run the program before posting a log - and post the two logs together (they will both be in the one file).
