I have a file called PM Install in my documents anyone know what that is or how I find out?

Question

My now ex was cheating online and this shows up in my documents and when I try to delete it says it is a program. It's from the year I caught him cheating so I'm sure it's something he put on there. How do I find out what it is?

Answer 1

please follow this link to get in SAFE MODE!

Once in do this:

Go to Start, search, for files or folders.

When the box pops up, enter *.pm in the files and folders field, select your C drive and hit find or search.

Note that the 'asterisk' is the wild card character and will search for all files with the .pm extension.

DELETE EVERYTHING you find!

You will be fine after that.

EX Guy was a goof!

File Behaviour

PM.EXE has been seen to perform the following behavior:

    * The Process is packed and/or encrypted using a software packing process

    * Executes a Process

    * Writes to another Process's Virtual Memory (Process Hijacking)

    * This Process Creates Other Processes On Disk

    * Executes Processes stored in Temporary Folders

    * This Process Deletes Other Processes From Disk

PM.EXE has been the subject of the following behavior:

    * Created as a new Background Service on the machine

    * Created as a process on disk

    * Deleted as a process from disk

    * Executed as a Process

    * Terminated as a Process

Might take the info somewhat with reservations as it may be incorrect.  Look in Control Panel>Add and Remove Programs and see if it comes up in the list of installed programs.  If not, it may be malware.
