    Malware

    Hi,

    I have been sent here from a previous thread https://pchelpforum.net/t/pc-shut-do...-a-game.88173/ .

    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:

      Until Malnutrition gets here, regarding the torrents and game cracks. These are some of the quickest vectors to obtain an infection.

      That being said, don’t make any changes yet, please wait for @Malnutrition 's instruction.

          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.

                  One of the forum admins will need to log in, so they can rectify the issue. Should not be too long. ???

                      @veeg - I undeleted the above post - I figured you may not have realised it from from @Malnutrition who is currently having issues logging into his regular account.
                      Hope that is the reason you deleted it???

                        I have used remote desktop some time ago to do some stuff from my phone when I was not at home.

                        FYI Malwarebytes only had 3 scan options, had all enabled.

                              Your computer appears clean to me, are there any issues that indicate malware?
