My firewall provider keeps sending me red alerts about an application that
tries to access my computer every time I sign on...It is
C:\WINDOWS\system32\upmnqdjx.exe. Microsoft says it is not one of theirs. I
asked my computer Geek company about it, they couldn't identify it either. I
have tried to delete it but get a message that it is being used by another
person or program and can't be deleted.
Yesterday I restored my computer back to July 23, prior to the date is shows
as being activated on my computer, but then my AOL wouldn't work this
morning, so I reversed the restore.

Anyone out there who could give me any help with this?
