Hello! I got a problem i just found that i have a virus called smss.exe
Quote:
1) smss.exe is a process which is registered as a trojan. This Trojan allows attackers to access your computer from remote locations, stealing passwords, Internet banking and personal data. This process is a security risk and should be removed from your system.

When i try deleting it (File is located in C:\Windows) it says that the virus is running, but when i open the process and try closing it down, it says that its a system.

Help please.

because windows is going to let you delete the Session Manager Subsystem. Too many programs run behind it.

Now that freezerburn has been an idort, use a windows search and find any smss.exe not located in the system32 folder. Delete any that are outside system32. Run malwarebytes like said. If all else fails it may be a rookit type.
