I have currently come across a computer process that I have never seen before called Complmgr.exe. I have also ran MSConfig and found out that it starts up at whenever Windows XP boots. The file is in C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\.COMMgr\complmgr.exe according to MSConfig. I have searched up the program on google and on the help forums but I couldn't find anything about it. I haven't seen it before so I think it might be a virus (around the same time I found it my Firefox browser started opening advertisement tabs at random). Then again I'm not 100% sure its a virus since I couldn't find any evidence that it was. Can someone please confirm whether is safe or a virus?1 person needs an answerI do too

Actually a Google search for Complmgr.exe shows that it is in fact malware. So you need to clean up your computer.

If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
