Worried If PC Could be Infected


Recommended Posts

I'm a worry wort when it comes to viruses, which is why I renew my malwarebytes liscense every year for premium quality virus protection but tonight I had a little scare.

A family friend was on my computer and downloaded/installed a program in which she could use her apple product as a camera. She had noticed the audio wasn't working, asked me to check it out, and behold my audio was not playing anything. Spotify, youtube, nothing. I fixed the audio issue, I think (audio is playing fine now)? I had to remove two drivers it installed into my computer (installed something to do that as it wasn't showing up in my drivers manager). One began with cam and the other began with sens. And I'm worried if it could have done anything else to the computer.

[!!! imporant] the program name was: pocketcam by Senstic It also goes by the name ipocket (i think it might have shown up listed in one of the files i generated with farber, not sure) and e2eSoft iVCam? Any camera (cam, webcam) program leftovers or anything from it I would prefer removed completely from my computer and can do so manually if there is anything else left if need be ♥

I am using WINDOWS 10 if that helps.

When I looked up the audio issue with that in the search results, I saw something that mentioned it could be a virus. So naturally, I panicked.

I ran both threat and full scans on my computer with malewarebytes premium, did a full scan with windows defender too. Both programs found nothing.

The reason I ask is because I don't want to have to factory restore the computer as it will take hours and I'll lose all of my settings/etc.

I have done all of the steps here: https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/9573-im-infected-what-do-i-do-now/ and attached what was needed as well as included everything below:

Attached: Addition.txt and  FRST.txt  and quickscan.txt. from malewarebytes quick scan

Thank you if you can help let me know if my computer is clean or not. I noticed some lag and some connection slowness, but that could just be me being paranoid.

I'm not getting any popups or anything like that. But I would really like to make sure it's clean and remove any items or things the program could have changed or added.

I think I saw earlier on it to install Sophos Virus Removal Tool? I printed out the instructions and did those. I encountered no errors with it and I have attached the log from that.

 

I have also ran the fixlist and attached the log of it to this reply.

 

No errors during either occurred.

 

Thank you! Let me know if I need to do anything next ♥
