Hi,

pmropn.exe is part of a back-door trojan.

No one program can be relied upon to detect and remove all malware. Added that often easy to detect malware

is often accompanied by a much harder to detect and remove payload. So its better to be overly thorough now

than to pay the high price later. Check with these to an extreme overkill point and then run the cleanup only when

you are very sure the system is clean.

These can be done in Safe Mode - repeatedly tap F8 as you boot however you should also run them in

regular Windows when you can.

Download malwarebytes and scan with it, run MRT, and add Prevx to be sure it is gone. (If Rootkits run UnHackMe)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put it - Right Click on it - RUN AS ADMIN

Malwarebytes - free

Run the Microsoft Malicious Removal Tool

Start - type in Search box -> MRT  find at top of list - Right Click on it - RUN AS ADMIN.

You should be getting this tool and its updates via Windows Updates - if needed you can download it here.

Download - SAVE - go to where you put it - Right Click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
