I think I may be infected with a bitcoin miner.
noq replied to noq's topic in Resolved Malware Removal Logs
If I may ask lastly, in your opinion, what might have been the flagged files by Kaspersky and the more recently flagged PUP by ESET? Do you think this machine was compromised at some point? -

After I successfully repaired Windows thanks to your instructions, I also installed all the updates I couldn't before due to either an improper Windows installation or system corruption as a consequence of an infection. Couldn't tell you. It's definitely functioning better now though. Here's the log: SecurityCheck.txt -

All done with the repairs. What would you have me do next? -

Understood. I don't have a usable USB flash drive on me at the moment. In 12-15 hours from now, I'll get one and update you on the repairs. Thank you for being patient with me. -

Will the repair wipe my PC clean? And what do you think about it having seemingly been hacked? Need I worry? -

Already did. Thank you for sticking with me. I can always reinstall Windows, if that ends up being the issue. However, should I be worried that someone has potentially siphoned sensitive data from my PC sessions? -

I seem to be getting an error in the middle of the process, at 41.9% to be exact, saying: "Error: 14091 The name of an attribute in an identity is not within the legal range. The DISM log file can be found at C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log" I waited for a bit, then pressed Enter a few times and it still said the process had finished successfully, so here's the log: SFCFix.txt -

If what you're saying about Chrome's links being the potential cause of the odd behavior, could you possibly modify the script to not clean them? -

Hi, Maurice, and thank you kindly for responding. Here's the log: AdwCleaner[C00].txt -
I randomly ran a scan with Kaspersky's online scanner and it found a few infected files, one of them containing the word "easyware." The reason I can't provide a more detailed description is because the power went out the moment I started inspecting what Kaspersky had found and simply had no time to identify the corrupted files. I ran the scan again and it found nothing. However, every time I open the Task Manager, I can see my CPU load quickly dropping from 50-80% to 3-8%. Also, browsing in Google Chrome has been weird. I'm not sure how to properly explain it, but every time I'm on YouTube or Twitter, a website that has video playbacks running, I get these screen... fragmentations. Twitching, disappearing, reappearing pixels. And it only happens when I'm not in full screen; whenever I play a video in full screen, the issues disappear. I would highly appreciate any assistance.

You've been a delight. Sent you a little donation for your time. Take care, Kevin.

Not that I am aware of. I just finished a second round of scans and all seems to be in order. What would your final verdict be? Should I be concerned that maybe at one point I was hacked or was it most likely a false-positive?

Yes, both games were cracked; both games have been successfully removed from my PC. Here are the results from both the fix you provided and the MSERT scan: Fixlog.txt MSERT.txt

Hello, kind Malwarebytes deities, A few days ago, I downloaded the game Immortals Fenyx Rising, cracked by Empress. Upon finishing the install of the game, Windows Security flagged the file EMP.dll(located in the install directory of the game) as Trojan. At first I didn't think much of it, as most pirated game cracks give false-positives, so I just added the file in the exclusions. However, the next day Windows Security flagged it once again, so I decided to download Kaspersky and Malwarebytes to scan the file, and they both flagged it as a Trojan--albeit different kinds. I also scanned it on Virustotal and this is the result. I'm turning to you in a semi-panicked state because during the time the file has been active on my PC I've used two of my passwords and one of my credit card details. I would greatly appreciate a swift response, although I fully realize it's not your responsibility to save us from our foolish mistakes. All the results of the scans you reccomend are attached below: Addition.txt ADWScan.txt FRST.txt MBScan.txt
