The malware mentioned from this thread and the containing folder has been removed at the time of the scan, but the log that highlighted it did not specify that part.
Screenshot of proof of removal and fresh full scan from this morning:
Once the logs are posted, if I see any illegal software installed, you will be asked to remove it. So if you are aware of any such programs then please remove prior to running FRST.
I personally do not care what you choose to do after you have completed the process with me, I just ask that anything downloaded that was not paid for you by you be removed while we check your machine for malware.
I am having an issue with two factor identification on my account, once that is sorted I will have a reply for you. This is @Malnutrition i am just having some minor problems logging in. The forum is giving me a bit of trouble. ???
@gettingmad Do you use Google remote desktop? There are exceptions in your firewall for it.
FirewallRules: [{779C1081-13E4-4CDD-B5A1-9CF590562509}] => (Allow) C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome Remote Desktop
