ok i have this file in my system called prutmct.exe, it is not a legit file and i have no idea how to get rid of it. I have ad ware, spysweeper, and microsoft spy beta. None of them took it out. There are 2 of the same file running in process list and if i close it, it reopens.

Look for it using the search function. Then delete it.

I just had the same exact problem (with a different file ofcourse) heres what to do:

Right click on taskbar
goto Task-Manager
Right click process
Set Priority: LOW (if you have found the location of the file then be ready do delete it FAST) while having the location of the file in the background
then Quickly delete the .exe file as soon as you end its process after setting priority to LOW

It should be deleted :smile
