Hi
I have a feeling that my system may be infected with a virus or malware.
Everytime i start my system up, i have a pop up that starts called "AI Project Updater:Installing...". I have no idea what it is related to, but it comes up every time i boot it. It remains there for about 10 minutes, and then disappers.
I cannot close it, etc, but have a feeling it isnt supposed to be there!
I ran Malwarebytes, ad-aware and virus scan, but it still keeps coming back.
Any ideas would be very welcome..
Thanks in advance!

Run msconfig to see if it's listed and see if it gives any information, then Google it.

I ran the config, but nothing is listed under any of the tabs.
Yesterday, i ran my Malwarebytes again, and it found a few infected files which i have removed since. Virus scanner shows nothing still.
When i booted up this morning, the AI Project updater came on again ....
When i open a new tab in Internet Explorer, i get ad popups such as
http://media.mynewswheel.com/dsnrestate.html
I have a feeling its virus/malware related .. any other scanners i could use?
Sorry i cant give anymore information!

Do you have a Restore Point that predates this problem.

After looking on the web yesterday, I turned off my restore point, but yes, it would predate the problem. At the moment, my restore point is not enabled.

No restore point and scanning doesn't show anything.
Hijackthis might show what's causing it - but interpreting the results is kind of technical.
You can run it and post the log here and someone might be able to help.
In the meantime you might want to post at the Videohelp site and ask for assistance.

I have the same problem with the same infected files. My anti-virus and malwarebytes says they quarantined and removed it already but everytime I scan its still there. And this annoying AI PROJECT UPDATE keeps on popping out when I turn on my laptop. I think its a new breed of malware of some sort.
We definitely need help!

It was still there, so I used Task manager to find it and removed with Unlocker(great tool, free download) look here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Components\messenger(?).
All the really great minds here, but I found this despite them.

Hello everyone!
Everyone who has this problem, I was going to 'msconfig' and in the Boot tab, I have disselected the following things:
- messenger
- msmsgs
And I choose Close, the computer asked me if I would reboot, and I say Yes.
After reboot, no problem with AI Project Installer.
But if you want that you can never startup one of those, if it does the same for you as for me, then I recommend EasyCleaner, search for it on Google. Install it, and click on the Boot button. There you can remove the startup stuff.
Hope I helped you out,
MrYoranimo

i guess this haunting ai project updater has its origin in ares. i uninstalled ares but searching gave as result that the folder was still present. now i disabled messenger.exe in the msconfig.exe and hope i will get rid of it then.

Hi All,
Just a quick one to say i had this issue. Removed it from MSCONFIG the located it under C:\Program Files x86\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Components\messenger. And deleted all the folder by using Shift + Delete. Restart and presto. Run AVG and Malwares just to be sure.
