suspicion of a mining malvare

[pamidorka]

My friend and I went to a computer overclocking specialist. A friend found a mining virus. I suppose I can have it too. I did not notice any jumps in the operation of the system, but I know that the algorithm of such a virus can be very invisible.

I scanned my computer with the programs that you suggested in a similar topic. Attached reports to the message. I would be very glad if you can help me.

Hiya pamidorka and welcome to Malwarebyts,

To make the FRST logs easier for me to read do the following:

Run FRST one more time, ensure all boxes are checkmarked under "Whitelist" but only Addition.txt under "Optional scan" Select scan, when done post the new logs. "FRST.txt" and "Addition.txt" Rename FRSTor FRST64 to FRSTEnglish or FRST64English before running.... (right click on FRST, select "Rename")   Thank you,   Kevin...

Hiya pamidorka,

Thanks for those logs. How is your PC responding now, any remaining issues or concerns..

Thank you,

Kevin

[pamidorka]

I do not notice any changes, the indicators, as before, are in order. Tell me, were there viruses in my reports (except for the KMS)? Did the fix you sent remove them?

[kevinf80]

There was no definite virus showing in your FRST logs, the fix did a general clean up and reset certain system services. Do you still believe your sysem is infected..?

[pamidorka]

i don't know, but i want to be sure my system isn't infected

[kevinf80]

I understand, run the following scan please:

Download Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool (KVRT) from here: https://www.kaspersky.com/downloads/thank-you/free-virus-removal-tool and save to your Desktop. Select the Windows Key and R Key together, the "Run" box should open. Drag and Drop KVRT.exe into the Run Box. C:\Users\{your user name}\DESKTOP\KVRT.exe will now show in the run box. add -dontcryptsupportinfo Note the space between KVRT.exe and -dontcryptsupportinfo C:\Users\{your user name}\DESKTOP\KVRT.exe -dontcryptsupportinfo should now show in the Run box. That addendum to the run command is very important, when the scan does eventually complete the resultant report is normally encrypted, with the extra command it is saved as a readable file. Reports are saved here C:\KVRT_data\Reports and look similar to this report_20200727_103821.klr Right click direct onto that report, select > open with > Notepad. Save that file and attach to your reply. To start the scan select OK in the "Run" box. The Windows Protected your PC window will open, select "More Info" A new Window will open, select "Run anyway" A EULA window will open, tick both confirmation boxes then select "Accept" In the new window select "Change Parameters" In the new window ensure all selection boxes are ticked, then select "OK" The scan should now start... When complete if entries are found there will be options, if "Cure" is offered leave as is. For any other options change to "Delete" then select "Continue" When complete, or if nothing was found select "Close" Attach the report information as previously instructed....
