I recently got nailed with a Ransom! Trojan that wiped out nearly all 50 thousand photos, videos, and e-mails on my HD.  Thank goodness for Carbonite…but anyway here is the thread that lead to that if you are interested…. http://forums.whatthetech.com/index.php?showtopic=128882#entry857130

 

I am waiting for Carbonite to debug anything they have so I can download everything back.  I have scanned with Spybot, ParetoLogic, and McAfee (including their Raptor and Stinger products) and found a relatively minor infestation of Artemis! Trojans which have been removed.  All else seems to be clear with all scans.

 

However, it sounds like my computer is constantly "doing something" as the "busy circle" on my cursor pops on and off and the desktop screen flickers occasionally, and my HD fan keeps going on and off constantly.

 

I opened up task manager to see what was going on and I see nearly two dozen running instances of a process called:  ahyblntw.exe *32  which has something to do with Google Chrome apparently.  I cannot shut them down (hit "end process") fast enough as more and more keep opening as I do so.  BTW, I do not even have Chrome opened at all.

 

I can't find any info about this .exe anywhere but the file location for it on my computer is: computer> app data> LocalLow> Temp> Eyxszmscb> fsynmze    

 

Don't know if that helps at all but just in case…..

 

Please HELP!
