autoKMS.exe

[Perrier]

I recently purchased the Malware Software and this auto.KMS.exe showed up under Settings in the Malware Exclusions folder. I removed it under the folder, but my question is what is this and should I be worried? It has not showed up after any other scans that have been run. Please advise. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Is this YOUR computer, or was it purchased used?

 

Yes, you should be concerned.
AutoKMS is software used to actively pirate software from Microsoft, either MS Office or Windows itself.
It does not get onto a computer by itself.
So someone has intentionally installed it and someone has put it into the MBAM malware exclusions.
