    Hi all.
    I have a box pop up, I think when I open a browser, either that or it pops up after a certain amount of time after booting.
    It states that RunCC has stopped working.
    I have searched the web for an answer but have failed.
    I have typed it in the start search box but nothing comes up.
    I've looked at extra info in the box and it says it's a RunCC.exe.
    Anyone know what why where how?
    Thanks.

    Hi Max (or Jeremy)
    Spec is the same apart from 4gb of RAM instead of 2.
    It's not to do with the browser as I rebooted and left the system idle for 5 minutes or so and up it popped.
    This is what it says in the problem details if it's any help.

    Problem signature:
    Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
    Application Name: RunCC.exe
    Application Version: 1.0.0.0
    Application Timestamp: 57a2025f
    Fault Module Name: KERNELBASE.dll
    Fault Module Version: 6.1.7601.18869
    Fault Module Timestamp: 556366fd
    Exception Code: c06d007e
    Exception Offset: 000000000000b3dd
    OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1
    Locale ID: 2057
    Additional Information 1: 79df
    Additional Information 2: 79dfbcacf61883e68177790c5410ed25
    Additional Information 3: c27f
    Additional Information 4: c27f1d36cabdc1b55499bd1823f64a65

    And this is from event viewer.
    RunCC.exe
    1.0.0.0
    57a2025f
    KERNELBASE.dll
    6.1.7601.18869

    01d1f3ef4e568ab1
    C:\Users\My Name\AppData\Roaming\iset\RunCC.exe
    C:\Windows\system32\KERNELBASE.dll
    8d1bf7f2-5fe2-11e6-9390-0019d14d5292

    I've put AppData in the search box and it came up with a system file location called edb.chk
    It says Type; Recovered File Fragments.
    I open it in word pad and get this

    C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Calendars\DBStore
    and
    C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Calendars\DBStore\LogFiles

    I can't find reference to "AppData\Roaming\iset", it's a location that might be used by malware...

    1. What else is in the iset folder?
    2. Right-click RunCC.exe, click Properties & click Details. What info is displayed?

    Hi both.
    The folders/files were hidden.
    In the iset folder is reference to DevTools.
    When I Google that there is reference to Google Chrome.
    I will try uninstalling Chrome and reinstalling, can't hurt.
    Oh, and there is no option for details when I select properties for the RunCC.exe.
    You may also be right about malware. Hadn't ran malwarebytes for a while until a couple of days ago and it found several. I am also having trouble with a couple of my e-mail accounts not sending/receiving so may have to reinstall live mail too.

    Oh well, that didn't work, same pop up. Any more clues?
    I also know why my e-mail isn't working, it's Microsoft messing about with live mail.
    My default account has stopped working hence I didn't see your replies until I came an looked on the forums.
    It rains then it pours! :)

    I am looking into the latest suggestion, though all I want is the pop up to stop, it all looks a bit complex to me but hey:).
    I shall return to the problem after I have sorted Live Mail.
    Thanks

    sobeit Master Sergeant

    Ok, Live Mail sorted (for now, eh Microsoft?)
    dr. moriaty, I have viewed the page you suggest and as it says to try the tools on a virtual machine or a test computer as they are some 'heavy tools' I don't think they are the answer for me, but thanks anyway.
    I just want a RunCC popup to cease popping.
    Anyone any other ideas?
    Thanks

    Give me a minute to gather the steps.
    ;) You must be willing to use tools to investigate what's running on your machine/where/any process "tree" involved/.dlls also being used/etc.. We can't do that for you.

    @sobeit *Using Process Explorer

    Go HERE and download Microsoft Process Explorer 16.12.
    • Save it to your desktop
    • It does not require installation, just right-click to run
    • Once opened, select Options
      • Ticks by "Verify Image Signatures", VirusTotal.com > Check VirusTotal.com, Confirm Kill
    • At the far right you will see the VirusTotal column
    • Look under that column for anything showing other than 0/56-57
      See something? INVESTIGATE IT
    • See if you find RunCC.exe under the Process column. If so - hover your mouse over it.
      • You will be shown Command Line - Path - Services <= if any involved
      • Take notes!
    • Give us a report!

    Yes the beast is there and shows the same location as in post #3
    Command Line:
    C:\Users\My Name\AppData\Roaming\iset\RunCC.exe
    Path:
    C:\Users\My Name\AppData\Roaming\iset\RunCC.exe
    Showing CPU usage = 0 Private Bytes = 1.012K Working Set = 2.804K PID = 1424 Description = RunCC Company name = Blank
    No Signature Virus Total = 2/56

    When I click on the virus total it shows as W32/S-68faca22!Eldorado in Cyren and F-Prot.
    Avira (which I use) gives it a green tick as does the rest of the anti virus progs?
    Shall I kill the beast?

    Process Explorer should also indicate which process started RunCC, right=click > Properties (Image tab) and look under Parent:

    Yes! Then go to that directory and make sure that it's deleted. A good practice used in malware removal is to start with the file(s), then delete the folder. (That's not always necessary but we run into some stubborn stuff! ;))Re-boot your pc.

    C:\Users\My Name\AppData\Roaming\iset\RunCC.exe
    C:\Users\My Name\AppData\Roaming\iset

    Damn it satrow I killed the blighter before carrying out your instruction.
    The pop up appears to have ceased since the euthanasia.
    I inadvertently deleted the iset folder and it's contents.
    There was an uninstall.exe within and I double clicked it expecting a prompt telling me what I would be deleting but no, the whole shebang disappeared as though Harry Potter himself had waved his wand.
    Everything seems ok thus far so I'm assuming whatever was in the iset folder was not required.
    Thanks.
