Good evening,

A message appears on my PC: adobearm.exe:
"The procedure entry point createprocesswithtokenw could not be found in the dynamic link library advapi32.dll

I cannot delete the advapi32.dll file from system32.

Thank you for your help.

    Good evening,
    Adobearm.exe belongs to Adobe Reader software, please reinstall this software.

      Good evening,

      I had the same first reaction. I uninstalled Adobe Reader and reinstalled the software. To no avail!
      I even tried to uninstall all Adobe software and reinstall them.
      Thank you for your help.

      Hello,

      Thank you...you have no idea how thankful I am, the message adobearm.exe has disappeared!
      I thought I was still infected with viruses when I couldn't delete the file, especially since my PC has been slow for the past few days.
      I really need to review my security configuration on my PC, and I'm considering buying a larger screen. I don't plan to connect the new PC to the internet.
      Currently, I have a Windows XP laptop, protected by the free version of Avast (previously paid Norton, which was equally ineffective), and when everything slows down: Ad-Aware. When the situation worsens: AdwCleaner. In extreme situations: formatting. My security configuration is far from optimal. Can I ask you again for your help in setting up a better configuration? I'll write a new message so we don't mix up the topics. I'll title the message "security configuration."
      Once again, thank you very much.
      Have a good end of Sunday.
