Not sure if a false positive pid.dll

Recommended Posts

I just did a threat scan on my computer and I wanted to make sure if this scan was accurate. I had done a full scan last night and didn't get any results, nothing flashed earlier on my real-time protection, and I haven't gone to any unsecured/ non-HTTPS sites (I've been to Zillow, Indeed, and Great Schools.org; literally the only websites I can think of where this trojan may have come from), so I'm not sure if this is a legitimate threat or not.The threat is labeled as Trojan.Emotet.Generic , found under the C:\WINDOWS\SYSWOW64\PID.DLL and found in the HKLM\SOFTWARE folders. I've attached the log file and screenshot of the report below. May I please get some help on this? Thank you!

Hi, I have same problem started today, same exact file and registry entries show up in malwarebytes scan, when I do virustotal upload of the pid.dll I get the same results as you, the only interesting fact is the SHA256 differs for my pid.dll vs yours

SHA-256

Hey, same thing as well. Really hoping it's a false postitive because I have no idea where I got this from. At first I thought it was from one of my family getting on something they shouldn't have, but seeing other people have the issue relieves me a little

I would like to add however that it only picks it up as a threat if you're connected to a network. At least that's what it seems like. Trying some things to test it, such as using certain software and, will see if that sets it off. All I had open at the time was Steam, Discord, and my Firefox browser.

Update: pid.dll is now missing from the computer due to an attempted reboot (needless to say the computer froze because it didn't like that). It hasn't come back yet like it did the last 4 times before the reboot, so I still have a copy in quarantine thanks to that in case I need to put it back.
