ldh.exe virus

Hey guys I need some help. I have a virus. It’s some kind of trojan. I think its ldh.exe. My avast detects it and wants to open it in sandbox, but that doesn’t do anything. When I try and open explorer a “XP Home Protection” program keeps popping up wanting me to purchase it. When I click no explorer shuts down…Any advise for the removal of this ?? Thanks

if avast wants to run a file in the sandbox, it means it is suspicious…not malware…yet…

always update so you have latest database before you scan
click on the remove selected button to quarantine anything found

remeber this is just a google search on the name so it does not have to be the same file bc it has the same name

I can’t seem to get the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.50.1 software to run…

see the guide i have posted above and read it all

step 3-4-5 is important to get MBAM up and running

Why doesn’t a program like Avast find and clean the problem…?

No security program have 100% detection, it is just not possible with the amount of malware produced

did it work… have Malwarebytes removed it ?

If malwarebytes still fails to run
