Preventing the Buffer Overflow Attack

Hello Daniel,

To resolve that issue, you will need to disable its process in the task manager. 

• Hold on to Ctrl+Alt+Del in order to open the Windows Task Manager, and then click the Process tab.
• In case you see any process that shares name similar to the existing file and as well using up to 100% CPU time, you will need to click on the particular process and then choose "End Process".

Regards,

Nicke
