Hello,
I've been given a work laptop and the location I am working from has a lot of laptops that are in a poor state. We're talking "some drivers hadn't been updated in 3 years" type of state, for additional context.
Currently I'm very frustrated because there are some PuPs that usually come in the form of browser extensions or downloaded pc cleaners/antiviruses, but I can't find anything in add/remove programs and I've checked the browsers on this laptop. Nothing is synced right now.
Laptop specs are: HP ENVY TS m6 Sleekbook
Processor: AMD a10-5745M APU with Radeon (tm) HD
Graphics 2.10 GHz
Installed RAM: 6 GB (5.21 GB Usable)
System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Windows Specs:
Windows 10 home
Version 1809
Installed on 4/3/2019
OS Build 17763.1457
I've attached my first malwarebytes txt log taken 9/9 and the scan I took yesterday. From the first log I quarantined the astromenda files but wasn't sure if I should do anything else. In general maintenance, I've updated all the drivers, fixed that the windows update wasn't occurring, created a system restore point, defragmented the computer (It hadn't been running or I would have left it on its autoschedule), and removed items from windows startup (they stuck a bunch of office applications in there that were causing it to lag severely).
As a side note, I might need to go through the other laptops around me because I've noticed that one laptop has CC cleaner, malwarebytes, and 3 different antiviruses outside of Windows Defender. Not really relevant to my current dilemma but wouldn't mind some feedback on if my approach is okay (checking update status, removing stuff from startup, running windows defender and malwarebytes).
