Infected by 32-Bit Setup Launcher on system

[Fifthsin]

Hello! can i piggy back on this post? Just as the user above im having the same issue. I ran the FRST64 Utility (which i cant run now) and got the txt files needed. It seems that setup32 virus is smart enough to where after a few uses it recognizes the app as anti-malware and starts blocking it as well... let me know if you can help me here or if i need to open up another thread. Thank you for any help you can provide!

Hello, Ive been trying to remove this virus that, from reading other posts, seems to be spreading around. Basically a process called 32-bit Setup Launcher is in task manager and freezes anything that has to do with anti-malware even web browsers. Im attaching the logs that i was able to get from FRST64 before it was too blocked and I couldn't run it again. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hello @Fifthsin

 

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 Now.
• When finished, please click Clean & Repair.
• 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
