From: Denks on 16 Nov 2009 01:15 Hi again. I did some more research on it. And it's a virus attached to some websites, by the company Somsoft, with the file alg.exe. For you reverence you might like to read this, "C:\Program Files\Common Files\alg.exe (This file is CPAX20.exe) This is your culprit. The clean boot stopped it from running; while it isn't running it can be deleted. Everyone please rid yourself of this parasite as soon as you get this."

More likely to be adware, as I originally suggested, and you may find it harder to delete than you think. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est Denks wrote: > Hi again. I did some more research on it.

I have to say that it does have something to do with .NET. I had a .NET error box pop up for some reason and couldn't close it normally. So I went through the task manager and when I tried to close it through there it popped up the CPAX20 error.
