gwlqcnhvbr.exe virus?
gwlqcnhvbr.exe
is this a virus? My son's pc can't get on the net and the win patrol software is asking me if i want this start up programme to run and
i'm saying no.
Anyone any ideas? it keeps coming up. I have managed to get AVG to contain it but still comes up after restart.

If it doesn't get a hit in google then its nothing important. Probably a virus which generates a random name for the .exe.
Stop it in taskmanager, do a search for it and delete it! You'll need to find out what created it too.

just check the date it was created to find out the date. then boot up in safe mode and delete any file created on the same day that arnt things u put
there.

Probably.
A good tip is to google for "what is <filename>" that usually comes up with a few.
I've been finding a few viruses recently that the NTL netguard doesn't protect against.
I've been recomending, for people who want a freebie, to use the CA Anti Virus that windows recomends, its 12 months, not overly intrusive and
easy to de-install. I've not had a PC compromised that I've used it on yet (even ones that were in a mess when passed on to me to sort
out) so as far as I'm concerned thats good enough for me.
