Hi, earlier this week, I received a message at start up saying, "CPax20 has
encounted a problem and needs to close". Can you please tell me how to fix
this please? Easy step by step instructions required please. I have another
error message, but we'll get that one later, when this first one done and
dusted. Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place.
TIA
 
What we do in these situations is to use a web search engine (Google,
Bing, Yahoo, etc.) to find out what CPax20 means.

CPax20 possibly refers to CPAXTreme version 2.0, which is included in
pay-per-install software. In other words: You recently downloaded
something that is probably adware.
 
Thx mate. But I think from memory it was something to do with the .net
framework. And had to stop. Any ideas about it?
TIA
 
There are only 2 programs I've added recently, Micro Trend Internet Security
Pro, and Revo uninstaller. I'll removed the uninstaller, and see what happens.
 
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."
Regards
 
Not likely that it's a virus. There are few true viruses in the wild -
no money in it. More likely to be adware, as I originally suggested, and
you may find it harder to delete than you think.
 
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.
 
I was able to remove the alg.exe file with no problem. It was shutting down
(The error message) when I found it and did not have anything to say about
being deleted. I am going to restart and see what happens.
