I initially had a problem when I torrented a song and found that it would pop up and play every time I would log into my account.
I’ve tried deleting it several times but it continues to reappear back in a temp folder. I figured it wasn’t anything too serious so I just dealt with with and closed it as it would come up on start up.
Soon enough I noticed my computer was slowing down, so I decided to get an anti-virus. To my dismay I wasn’t able to access Microsoft or Anti-virus websites to help me solve this situation. Although, I have managed to fix this.
I installed Avast! and found that Win32:Patched-AKC [Trj] was the only threat that couldn’t be deleted, fixed etc etc.
Considering it involves System 32 I am guessing it would be very difficult to remove as removing System 32 would completely ruin my laptop. How would I go around fixing this?

It seems up to speed! Although, for some reason my scrolling on the laptop touchpad is now playing up. I wonder if it’s related?
And also, Windows decided to update like 140+ updates upon shut down, and a few things on start up. I’m not sure if that’s a normal amount or what, it’s usually around 10, not in the hundreds.
I’ll run Avast! again and see if there’s any thing that pops up.
Now click on “Run” button. Wait for the programme completes his work.
All the tools we used should be gone.
