ceballard Posted March 19, 2016 ID:1026802 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I have an infection that Malwarebytes identifies as PUP.Optional.*. Malwarebytes deletes these files, but they return. In addition, massive amounts of temp files are being created that consume my hard drive. FRST.txt Addition.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinHeadedEagle Posted March 19, 2016 ID:1026803 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hello and Scan with ZOEKPlease download ZOEK by Smeenk and save it to your desktop.Temporary disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware protection - instructions here. Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool. Wait patiently until the main console will appear, it may take a minute or two. In the main box please paste in the following script: Code: createsrpoint; autoclean; emptyclsid; emptyalltemp; ipconfig /flushdns >>"%temp%\log.txt";b Make sure that Scan All Users option is checked. Push Run Script and wait patiently. The scan may take a couple of minutes. When the scan completes, a zoek-results logfile should open in notepad. If a reboot is needed, it will be opened after it. You may also find it at your main drive (usually C:\ drive) Upload it in your next reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
