Good Evening,

I can't imagine I'm having an issue that hasn't been dealt with a million times before but I can say I'm just as frustrated either way >.< The problems all seemed to start when I downloaded an update for Java and now I have some sort of fake anti virus software popping up and causing all sorts of issues. I was able to find this place through Google and was able to stop the onslaught of execution errors by hijacking this step from another thread:

You only need to get one of these to run, not all of them. You may get warnings from your antivirus about this tool, ignore them or shutdown your antivirus.

Rkill.exe
Rkill.com
Rkill.scr
Rkill.pif

Once you've gotten one of them to run then try to immediately run the following.
 
Now download and Run exeHelper.

Please download exeHelper from Raktor to your desktop.

    * Double-click on exeHelper.com to run the fix. A black window should pop up, press any key to close once the fix is completed. A log file named log.txt will be created in the directory where you ran exeHelper.com Attach the log.txt file to your next message.

      Note: If the window shows a message that says "Error deleting file", please re-run the program before posting a log - and post the two logs together (they will both be in the one file).

I read that every situation is different and following all the steps that worked for that user might adversely effect my machine. I am willing to do any and everything and look forward to any assistance that can be given.
