Got one word for the group... Mevio
What is it and why would someone want it on a machine. So far I'm finding info saying it is a virus (and I tend to think that's right) and some conflicting info suggesting that it is something related to iTunes and is a music and/or video playing source and software. To the best of my knowledge, this "mevio" was not invited into this machine by the owner, I'm just trying to get it out of his way. It keeps popping up and wanting to be installed/validated. This machine also has reportedly been found after being idle overnight to be playing music out the speakers. They said it was like a radio station. Also, the process = iexplore.exe is always running without Internet Explorer being in the applications area in Task Manager or on the task bar. It does appear to have "arrived" at about the same time as a virus (trojan = AV Security 2012) that at this time seems to have been erradicated. Ultimately, I think this, being an older machine will probably get refurbished with a wipe & reinstall before going back into permanent service. But, in the meantime, I'd like to get the guy working without the interruptions. Think I'll uninstall IE9 for a while and let him use Chrome, as IE seems to be the app that is causing the trouble, or IE has been compromised and the malware is causing the trouble through IE. Ass always, thanks for the thoughts and help.
