Exploit.Drop.CFG

[Relbik]

My wife's Windows 7 laptop suddenly lost network connetivity and many of the applications display an error that the "service cannot run".

We installed Malwarebytes and ran a scan. Results are as follows . . .

I checked the "delete" option and it said the file was quarantined. However the symptoms persist and when I ran the scan again, the Exploit file was back.

Any suggestions would be apprecaited.

Hello and welcome to Malwarebytes

If you think you are infected, here are the steps needed to get your computer cleaned....

Please read the following so that you can begin the cleaning process:

Don't use any temporary file cleaners unless requested - this can cause data loss and make recovery difficult

OPTION 1

As we don't deal with malware removal in the

General Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Forum

Replying to your own posts changes the post count and helpers are looking for topics with zero replies.
