[SOLVED] Cantilevered.exe

[madin118]

I am getting this pop-up window. Anyone has any idea how to stop it?
"Cantilevered.exe. This application Cannot be started."

Thank you

Did you install this or did it just start happening. You may have gotten infected. Scan with an antivirus

Yes. There is a malware. I tried Avast. The pop-up still keep popping.
any suggestions?
thank you

Have you tried running an off-line scan with a vest that is fully updated of course? Sometimes an off-line scan can get rid of viruses. Personally once I’ve been infected I never trust anything to disinfect it. All of my data is backed up so I format and reinstall. I only got infected one time in the last few years because I tried using a program from the Internet to extract subtitles from my MP4’s

you can run this microsoft tool to find the registry location that the system is trying to run the file from and delete the entry.

in the options menu you can select hide microsoft entries to make it easier to find the offending program.
