Open IV keeps saying that GTAV is open and i need to exit GTAV before i use open IV to edit the files. When i go to task manager GTAV is not there, Social club is not there, And steam is not open either. When i do open steam and go to see if it says GTA5 is running it doesnt. when i attempt to launch GTA5 its totally normal to. Pls help. Do you think a virus is using a plugin or mod to hack my PC and use gtav?

Go to the task manager then go to processes and see if you see GTA V or anything related. 

i have gone to Task manager and searched for GTAV related processes. i have googled any other processes i didn't recognize. i have gone to computer management and checked there. i have reinstalled GTAV. i have reinstalled gtav on multiple hard drives and ssds.

 

when i go to delete the GTA5.EXE, steam_api64, GFSDK_TXAA_AlphaResolve.win64.dll, GFSDK_ShawdowLib.win.65 or the Bink2w64.dll files it says that they are open in GTAV.

1: Open Task Manager (ctrl+shift+esc)
2: Click on "More Details"
3: Open "Processes" tab
4: Scroll through the "Background Processes" category until you find gta.exe or similar
5: Select that file and then click "End Task"

 

 

Option 2

If its a steam copy of the game try... It will replace all modded files with original games files except for scripts

Have you completely uninstalled Openiv as in control panel - add/remove programs?

I did and it didnt work. But then i went into app data and deleted all the OPENIV files there. after that i restarted my computer. then it worked.
