  1. Hello, since starting this thread I now have a theory considering the empty folder. I installed this USB microscope driver software: http://www.lumenera.com/support/downloads/microscopy-downloads.php This document shows it indeed does create the folder in question: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/165914530/INFINITY-Software-v600
  2. Here's the log from the full scan. mbam_log2.txt
  3. Hello, Malwarebytes is claiming an empty folder at C:\ProgramData\TWAIN_32 could be malicious and possibly connected with Trojan.Zbot. I already posted about this in a separate thread earlier today ( https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?/topic/164230-trojanzbot-type-folder/). After the quick scan (log attached) I placed the folder in quarantine and performed scans with GMER and Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool. Both came up clean. I removed the folder from quarantine and confirmed with a console directory listing in case it had files with hidden attributes set that wouldn't appear in Explorer that it was indeed empty. I'm now performing a second, custom scan with MBAM looking for all types of threats including rootkits to which I am 40 minutes into. I will post the results in this thread once the scan concludes. Between the ongoing scan and the one I carried out earlier today the database also received an update it seems. It looks to me like this could be a false positive as I can't think of a way an empty folder could be malicious to my system. Like I posted in the previous thread I had been uninstalling old programs and checking for garbage files left behind by them when I found this, so could it be left over from uninstalling a program containing a trojan horse via their provided uninstaller? If someone could alleviate my anxiety over this it would be greatly appreciated. mbam_log.txt TWAIN_32.zip
  4. After a little over a month since my last scan, today Malwarebytes found this in C:\ProgramData\TWAIN_32. The type of the threat struck me as odd, what exactly does it mean? I got the idea to do a scan after cleaning up some old programs and manually checking the folders and files the uninstallers left behind. I believe this folder was actually empty when I checked but I'm not going to return it from quarantine to double check. I'm a bit puzzled: was there a real threat or could it be a false positive? After reading up on the virus description while it sounds worrying none of my accounts have been compromised including online banking. Thanks in advance.
