Ronwah Posted November 15, 2018 ID:1281334 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Hello, I've had a random issue with a malware exploit warning related to Powershell.exe I'm not sure where this would originate from as nothing has been downloaded, but I'd rather be safe than sorry! I hope I've attached the correct files etc and thanks in advance for any help / advice. Cheers Addition.txt FRST.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nasdaq Posted November 16, 2018 ID:1281583 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Looking good. Any remaining issues? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronwah Posted November 17, 2018 Author ID:1281781 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Thanks, everything seems to have settled down. I'm not very clued up on this stuff to be fair but I'm not convinced there was a genuine issue in the first instance. I had an older version of Malwarebytes and from the first warning about the issue it repeated every 20 minutes almost to the exact second. I downloaded the new version, followed the instructions elsewhere as well as yours and never had any warning since. It looks like there has been a bunch of powershell type issues recently so maybe it was related to me not having the latest version of malwarbytes, java and windows 10 - all of which I've now remidied!
