msdtadmin

[typhh]

Hello, so while browsing through my temp folder, I found a sketchy file called msdtadmin. I really don't know what it is. I don't know if it's a virus, as the date of creation is the time I reinstalled Windows 7, so I doubt I would've got it from some site or anything. Is it a virus? And eventually, if it is, what are the correct ways to delete it? Thanks.

Hello, I'm sorry for making this thread again. I did not put the logs, and I don't know how to edit threads. While going through my Temp folder, I noticed a suspicious folder called msdtadmin and some suspicious files, with the name of my pc and the date those files were created. I don't know much about msdtadmin, as it was created around the time I reinstalled Windows 7. Here are the logs, thanks for reading!

Hello @typhh and

I'm not sure of that by name alone. Let's go ahead though and scan for any possible infections.

 

It's quite late for me so I'm off to get some sleep. Will check back on you again sometime tomorrow.

 

Please run the following steps and post back the logs as an attachment when ready.

STEP 01

• If you're already running Malwarebytes 3 then open Malwarebytes and check for updates. Then click on the Scan tab and select Threat Scan and click on Start Scan button.
• If you don't have Malwarebytes 3 installed yet please download it from here and install it.
• Once installed then open Malwarebytes and check for updates. Then click on the Scan tab and select Threat Scan and click on Start Scan button.
• Once the scan is completed click on the Export Summary button and save the file as a Text file to your desktop or other location you can find, and attach that log on your next reply.
• If Malwarebytes won't run then please skip to the next step and let me know on your next reply.

STEP 02

Please download AdwCleaner by Malwarebytes and save the file to your Desktop.

• Right-click on the program and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
• Accept the Terms of use.
• Wait until the database is updated.
• Click Scan.
• When finished, please click Clean.
• Your PC should reboot now if any items were found.
• After reboot, a log file will be opened. Copy its content into your next reply.

 

RESTART THE COMPUTER Before Running Step 3

STEP 03
Please download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit

• Double-click to run it. When the tool opens, click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press the Scan button.
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
• The first time the tool is run, it also makes another log (Addition.txt). If you've, run the tool before you need to place a check mark here.
• Please attach the Additions.txt log to your reply as well.

 

Thanks

Ron

The logs do not indicate any type of infection or obvious threats.

You can run the following temporary file cleaner which will clean up temp files from your system for you.

 

Please Run TFC by OldTimer to clear temporary files:

• Download TFC from here and save it to your desktop.

• Double click TFC.exe to run it on XP (for Vista and Windows 7 right click and choose "Run as administrator") and once it opens click on the Start button on the lower left of the program to allow it to begin cleaning.
• Please be patient as clearing out temp files may take a while.
• Once it completes you may be prompted to restart your computer, please do so.

Heres what I Discovered. I Had the Folder in My TEMP folder and Could Not remove it, could not open it . I Was Running an Application called Simple MBOX Viewer . I closed the MBOX application normally and was Able to Remove the file to Recycle Bin. However Normal emptying would not remove the file From the Recycle Bin. So I right Clicked the file and selected Delete and was Prompted the file could not be removed to retry or continue. I clicked continue and its Deleted the file.   Operating with

Windows 7
