Hi all I have a really odd and very annoying problem,to start at the beginning,a little while back I downloaded a program called VLC media player,just to play some dvds via a external drive I have.
Now I hardly ever dl anything and I'm always careful,I used what I was sure what their legit site,and it seems,although I can't be sure but as this is the only program I have dl,recently I picked up a unwanted passenger,namely reason labs,and it installed without me knowing, and took over as the main "protection" I took ages to try and get rid of it,I stopped all the services and managed,at least I thought to get rid of it!
Now here is the problem,I just noticed today that under security on boot everything is fine,but after about ten mins or so virus is greyed out,and firewall says it is using setting that make this device unsafe,now just to make it more interesting,I left it alone,closed the security window and then retried the security page,and everything was back,firewall was up and virus was working,does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
I have checked my win dri drive and everything regarding reason is now gone,BUT I have found two folder related,one is RAVPNBackup in c prpgram data and the other is RAV endpoint protection in c users username appdata roaming,is it safe for me to just delete these folders?
