A problem constently occuring with Win8.

[HellsMaster]

Hello all,

 

 

 

First off, I have no idea where this should be going, forum wise. That said, I have an issue, a very big issue with Windows 8.

 

 

I seem to be getting some random error messages every 5-10 minutes or so that say this:

Now I know what HMA is but I have never installed it, ever. It is a fresh copy of windows 8 too.

 

I decided to seek out where that process was coming from and I found this:

Now, as highlighted, you can see the random named folder, which contains this:

Every random named folder has a random named .exe as shown in the picture, what I did next was not very smart but I still did it; I tried to launch the dodge .exe:

I do not know what that is or why but it has been bugging me for a while now. I deleted and removed from recycle bin the random named folder and that stopped the error messages, however when I rebooted, a new batch of folders have been created.

 

I decided to look up the issue and I have found one post that fitted my problem:

However there was no answer and I immediately thought of the XKCD comic.

 

So, my fellow Nexusians, does any of you tech geniuses know what's happening here and why and if not, could you point me toward a software support forum that could possibly help me from this irritating problem?

 

Cheers and have good day everyone!

Have you tried an anti mallware program?

 

Spybot is a good one.
