What is helper.exe? / blocked by Comodo

[Freddy700]

Hello,

I have been having lots of warning regarding this file "helper.exe" .. I don't have any idea for what is this... I made some research and found out that it can be related to firefox.. but I don't use firefox...

Also, some programs are not working.. I click on ccleaner and nothing happens (dont appear on task manager and also i tried to reinstall it and run it directely from the direcory)... Same happen with malwarebytes.

Cheers
Freddy

Tried booting into safe mode and then running malewarebytes

This most definitely sounds like a virus

I had an almost identical issue come up on mine a while back where alot of programs wouldnt boot for no reason without booting in safe mode

Ran malewarebytes one time and done
