Mpldle What is it?

    From what I have gleaned off the net I think I have picked up a bug called the Mpldle.exe, I have scanned with MBAM, Superantispyware and Microsoft Security Essentials all full scans with fresh updates. This all started on August 31st while I was up here reading topics, WinPatrol popped up asking permission to run "Mpldle". At the time I did not allow it to run, I had minor concern that I may have picked up something but thought not on Major Geeks. I ended up going to another good tech site asking what it might be, I got some quick responses and ideas but none worked. I then got the idea that it might be a Microsoft thing as the first pop up I got was within seconds of updating my AV. I am get constant connection activity as shown in the screen shot below, any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Just tried the screen shot it was denied due to no having a security token!

    Anyway within 3:22 seconds I sent 1,938 and received 1,534 packets, normally my net icon would stop at around 300 before actually going on the web.

    You are already getting help at bleepingcomputer. If you want us to try and help you, you need tell them you are working elsewhere and have them close that thread. And you you decide that you wish to work here, you need to follow our cleaning process as given below.


    Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

    Please follow the instructions in the below link:

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • **** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.
    4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.
