    Please help! Something has hijacked me. CPU usage jumps to 100% with nothing running. Have run these programs Asquared, Ad Aware & ewido & McAfee antivirus. Asquared is finding this file NeroFilterCheck
    Path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\NeroCheck.exe
    Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    It says that this is added by the PROXYX TROJAN

    How do I get rid of this??? Please send an email to dorine1[at]comcast.net

    Thank you.

    NeroFilterCheck is a legitimate file if you have Nero Burning installed, strange that A2 is finding this as a trojan as I hae ran it too and have Nero installed, maybe a false positive... BUT do run the guide below as any Nero appliction shouldnt run at 100% CPU.

    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
