Last week, my computer suddenly became very slow. When I opened Task Manager, I found a process called setup.exe with 100% CPU usage. When I ended the process, a second GoogleUpdate.exe process started (I have Chrome installed, so one Google Update process is always running). Ending this new GoogleUpdate.exe process ended both processes at the same time, so I thought Chrome was updating.
Today, I ran Malwarebytes and it found two setup.exe files and a registry key related to the setup.exe file. All were detected as Adware.CNNIC. These were the only three things the scan found. I was using Firefox with AdBlock Plus and NoScript. How did this manage to download?
