Followed sync instructions, now showed up with Avast. I cleared my data from chrome too.... Also you did not say anything about that worrying VT link, the sandboxes were very suspicious and the comments made it out to be some unremovable entity...

Defender scan found this. Doesn't detect it on second scan but I have no way of knowing if it's deleted.

Eset just blocked and deleted this a little bit after. Should I trust the VT comments saying it's highly sophisticated and just clean reinstall windows?

RogueKiller is the only one that detected this today. Quarantined an exe and some other stuff from this folder but I deleted them from quarantine in haste.... I ran the file before deleting it and even tho it had detections in the scanners the community claims were worrying. Here's a VT link.

It was deleted by RK so it's gone. My drive is in good condition. Currently no , scans keep coming up clean even though that's no guarantee. If anything pops up I will report.

Thing is I don't remember running an operation like disk check.... but whats done is done. I'll look into this.

Nothing has shown up since with periodic scanning, but today I caught this, only with RK and nothing else. Can't find any info on this. Removed it even though I'm not sure if it was a false positive or not.. but nothing seemed to break on my system. (yet)

Hello and here it is. No detections so far into the day today either, but it isn't evening yet. SecurityCheck.txt

Last night I did scans non stop with ADWcleaner+NPE around the time frame the detections popped up in the previous nights but this time nothing popped up. Also the detections in both scanners weirdly always popped up together but this time nothing happened. (BTW, when I clicked on show location of the flagged sys files from NPE, it opened the folder but none of those files were there and if I searched for them manually NPE would just close by itself ...) I wonder if it was a strange false positive event or I had randomly caught something smart acting up and now it knows when to hide/how to hide better and I'm simply not catching it with ADWcleaner in the correct timing...... That random scan with the downloads that happened wasn't something I manually started or scheduled , it was those automatic type scans when you download something or plug in a usb.... very weird. I opened my laptop and the window just popped up and started scanning items. I hope it's a glitch. Anyway currently nothing is showing up with any of the various scanners I'm using, I'll report back if I manage to catch something again. Am I being too cautious/paranoid over that ADWcleaner detection or, considering what is it, am I right to be wary? Thank you for the help so far

This morning I ran ADWcleaner + Norton again to test and nothing came up again. But it didn't the previous daytime either so that doesn't help much anymore. In order to test out the ESET removal advice I'll wait and see if they show up again at the same time this evening, otherwise I won't know if it worked anyway. Yesterday they didn't pop up in safe mode while I was scanning as ESET wasn't active there but right after, they did, still couldn't be sure if that was due to lack of conflict or timing. Another detail I remember that worried me, a couple of days ago when I booted up my pc MBAM randomly said it completed a scan of "new downloads"... but I haven't downloaded anything.. my memory is fuzzy but it said it scanned like 100k items ?? I have no trace of this except that now when I scan my scanned objects have jumped from from 400k something to 600k something... I find that worrying as I don't understand what that could be from..

ESET is my primary and MBAM is my secondary. Just ran ADWcleaner+ NortonPE (as they were the only ones with detections) again out of curiosity, and the detections disappeared again, but that's not really reassuring me as it seems to pop up during a specific time in the evening and could come back tomorrow. Here are the results. msert.log

Last night around evening time. And today around the same even after I scanned all day and they didn't show up until it was evening again.Sometime scheduled that hides? Haven't yet got it during the day. Should I quarantine these items and see if they keep returning? I'm worried it could be something bad not yet caught by anyone, hoping it's a strange false positive.

Hello and thank you. File added mbst-grab-results.zip

Hello, recently I did a clean reinstall of my pc. I shouldn't have any detections but recetly I got some random ones both from NPE + ADWCleaner. Thing is it's only from them, and nothing else. Last night I got the detecions and this morning they dissappeared and everything came out clean , I still scanned in safe mode + net for hours with various tools and there were 0 detections then after I restarted in the evening I scanned again with NPE+ ADWCleaner the same results showed up. Full system scan with Mbam was clean, everything is clean besides these two. ADWCleaner gives me this while NPE is even weirder false flagging what I believe are MB stuff?? Added screenshots in post. Thank you in advance.
