I have a File called Update.exe in my C:\Users\Pimparoo\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup file location I saw other topics and it said it was a Microsoft teams update. Malware is detecting it a trojan i dont have a picture because malware keeps quarantining  it. if someone can help me Remove/ tell me if it a threat or not it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Luther2343,

How does your PC respond now, any issues or concerns..?

Run the following please:

Download "Microsoft's Safety Scanner" and save direct to the desktop

Ensure to get the correct version for your system....

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/safety-scanner-download


Right click on the Tool, select Run as Administrator the tool will expand to the options Window
In the "Scan Type" window, select Full Scan
Perform a scan and Click Finish when the scan is done.


Retrieve the MSRT log as follows, and post it in your next reply:

1) Select the Windows key and R key together to open the "Run" function
2) Type or Copy/Paste the following command to the "Run Line" and Press Enter:

notepad c:\windows\debug\msert.log

The log will include log details for each time MSRT has run, we only need the most recent log by date and time...
 
Thank you,
 
Kevin

I'm fine besides the fact that I get a Malwarebytes notification every 5 minutes about them putting viruses into quarantine. And thinking what would I do if I don't get a Malwarebytes member ship and that nothing would quarantine the virus

Hiya Luther2343,

I see that you`ve told Nasdaq that you will continue with this thread, is that correct..? Continue:

Uninstall Discord reboot when complete. It would appear the version you have installed is exploited...

Next,

Run another scan with Malwarebytes, post the produced log...

Next,

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"

Thank you,

Kevin.
