Hi Khornedaemon, Welcome to TSF! :wave:
CTHelper can be associated with Creative® Soundcards, or a disguised virus.
If you
do not have a Creative® Soundcard installed in your machine; you may be infected.
I recommend that you read this article…
"Having problems with spyware and pop-ups? - First Steps"; follow the instructions
very carefully; then, post all the requested logs and information; as instructed, in the
HiJackThis Log Help Forum.
(Simply, click on the coloured links to be re-directed.)
Please ensure that you create a new thread in the HiJackThis Log Help Forum; not back here in this one.
When carrying out
The 5 Steps, if you
cannot complete
any of them for whatever reason, just continue on with the next one until they are all completed.
However,it is
extremely important to make mention of the fact that you could not complete any of the steps in your post to
The HJT Help Forum; where an Analyst will assist you with other workarounds.
Once done,
please be patient, as the Security Team Analysts are usually very busy; one of them will answer your request as soon as they can.
Good Luck with it.
Kind Regards,
