Techy help required - kernels8.exe

Getting message from my firewall saying this is trying to connect to internet - any ideas how to get rid of it?

 

I've had that and got rid of it. I'll have a root around.

 

cheers

 

Looks like a trojan.
Prevx reckons it will get rid of it.

You can download it for free, and it should fix your problem. If you need it again after 28 days, you have to pay for it though:

More details about prevx, although other antivirus/spyware stuff might get rid as well.

I've never used this, so don't take it as a recommendation.

 

Cheers - tried that but if failed

However - I think I've managed it

Booted up in safe mode, deleted the kernels8.exe file from the Windows/system directory.

Ran a registry clean up

Rebooted as normal.

Looks to have cleared it.

Good. I couldn't find what I did. You've done well there.
