Hi,
Whenevr I turn my PC on. 'My Documents' opens by itself. and then my antivirus (McAfee) detects and blocks 2 exploited applicaions:

Path Name - C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe::GetProcAddress
Detected As - bo:heap
State - Blocked by Buffer Overflow protection

Path Name - C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe::ReadFile
Detected As - bo:heap
State - Blocked by Buffer Overflow protection

I've scanned my pc many times using McAfee and Windows Defender. I used diskkeeper for my drive. I thought there was a problem with the registry and used RegCure and Advanced System Optimizer as well.
None of the above mentioned softwares worked.

Can someone plz help me out here…plz

Howdy there, sounds like you possibly have an infection to take care of……
You will need to generate a HJT log and post it in the HJT section of this forum -> HijackThis Logs and Spyware/Malware Removal
(Do NOT post the log here as a reply - start a new topic in the section mentioned)

For more information about downloading HJT and installing it please visit the link here -> HijackThis Quick Start
