Ping.exe

Micke

Hi!

I have a problem since 3-4 weeks. Ping.exe is running in the background on my PC and uses 75-99% of the processor capacity and a lot of internal memory. I have read a lot and it seems to be a trojan or a malware. F-secure did not identify it and I have tried a lot of free malware trojan remover program without any success. I kill the Ping.exe process in the task manager every 5 minute but it keeps on coming back. Any advice from you is very much appreciated.

 

Using Windows XP Home edition SP3 on an old COMPAQ 88060se Pentium 4 3,2Ghz and 2Gb internal memory 

 

Thanks in advance!

I am having the same issue.  I can't find what is calling it, either.  I get F-Secure through Charter cable, they suggested installing and reinstalling which I did.  I have all the latest virus definitions.

Thanks!

Hi!

 

Ping.exe is normally a windows system file and I'm not sure the file is infected. I believe another file is triggering ping.exe to open but it can not be found by any antimalware or antivirus software. I have also a fully updated F-secure Internet security and antivirus software installed.

 

Snowcat, any luck with your investigation?
