    Help with ThetaVestaJEA.exe file

    In mscofig, where you said service is listed - disable it. Also check Startup files, if anything strange is there and disable it. Then run ADVcleaner and Malwarebytes.

    But first you should check VirusTotal, like Golden suggested

  3. Strange files

    Hello Chao,

    Let's determine the cause of the issue. To get started, we'd like to clarify if you've downloaded any files before the albumart JPG file appeared.

    If you're not comfortable seeing the files, you can hide it by following these steps:

    • Right-click on the file, and select Properties.
    • Click General Tab.
    • Under Attributes, select Hidden and click
      OK
      .

    We'll keep an eye out for your response.

    4. Enter a user name and hit next.

    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
