Hello all, For about a week now, my computer has been having problems with mrt.exe and mrstub.exe. I did a quick search and found posts staingthat they are very bad and normal, so I decided to post here to make sure. About every 1-2 hours, my Kasperky notification pops up with a message the MRT.exe and/or MRSTUB.exe have been moved to trusted applications. After that, either process will auto start and consume up to 90% of my CPU processing power, according to Task Manager. I did delete the files twice, but they repopulate and start running again. The file location was in my C drive but not under any sub-folder. Also, I am getting messages from my system in the notifications area that "Windows Defender needs to scan your computer now". I have it turned off. One time I did click on Windows Defender to scan, and a pop-up resulted stating that I have to connect to the internet to proceed; becuase of my suspicion, I disconnected from the internet before I hit the scan button. Both MBAM and my Kasperky Total are picking up nothingon scans. Strangley, I have not been able to do a full scan with through Kaspersky for about a month now- a problem I am still working on with Kaspersky. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

It looks like it may have been my Kaspersky all along. I just got an email from them to reinstall Kaspersky because an update was corupted and it will cause system instability. I literally just got the email. Also, I just got a MS notification that Windows10 has just complete pre-installing; I had no idea that was going on. Thank you again for the help!

ok, I downloaded the program and ran it. Wen I started the computer this morning, it started in the Windows diagnose and repair mode. When I finally got to the desktop a notification that that program was moved to low restricted group. now my internet security will not load at all. thanks for the help.

ok, I did as suggested. The computer would not restart, i was just hanging on to the Windows retarting page (light blue with the dotted circle thing). I hitthe reset button and it took about 3mins to boot up. Computer is running a little faster, but still seems slow. right after the desktop loaded, a Kaspersky notification popped up that "seclogon" has been moved to low restricted group. Just got another notification that Task scheduler has been move to low restricted too.

i should have added that starting up the computer took far longer than usual, almost 5 minutes. I have no programs on the task manager/startup options enabled.

Ok, I did as suggested. Everything looked OK in my extension/add-ons. I disabled Java Deployment toolkit and that seems to have done the trick with the graphics issue. I am able to load pages and see graphics, but pages still load very slowly. Also, after I restarted Firefox, several windows pop up in succession. It keeps happening every time I open FF. Now, when I try to search anything, the resulting window is FF homepage.

I am not sure about Internet Explorer, I do not use it and I turned the service off long ago. I posted in the past about IE starting up on its own though. I just reinstalled Flash, but the problem persists.

BTW, I should have mentioned: Since I was able to delete all the Kaspersky files, I have not had a computer crash and my disk space reflects the proper space used/available. I am still having major issues going to site online that require graphics use; Hulu for instance, just loads an all white page and MSN loads with all broken pic icons where pics should be. thanks!
