There's something gnawing at my computer

[Pirateinthesky]

Hello there. I wish you good day to all. There's something on my computer. I just installed APK Support for my Windows 11 computer, then I installed an APK file. I installed a few more, but unlike them, the split-second command screen popped up and closed. I entered my bank account online, the bank asked for a code from SMS. I entered the SMS password and completed the process. After closing the bank site, the SMS came again. I probably have a virus on my computer. I was using Combofix before. What are your solution suggestions for Windows 11?

 

Thank you for replies.

Hello, thank you for kindness. I upload it.

mbst-grab-results.zip

And today I used Malwarebytes. 1 virus deleted.

Hello @Pirateinthesky:

Thank you for the MBST-grab file. A cursory look at the FRST report within indicates a clean-up of some items would benefit your computer. If you do not make frequent use of Apple's Bonjour, please give serious thought to uninstalling Bonjour followed by a system restart.

I have asked this forum's manager to take over a thorough analysis of the logs and get back to you.

Thank you.

I'm heading out of town but will try to check back tomorrow if possible, otherwise I'll review on Monday.

Thank you @Pirateinthesky

[Pirateinthesky]

Thanks everyone! I honestly didn't expect such kindness. I'm waiting your replies. 

 

When you have time, please. Thank you again.

Hello @Pirateinthesky

My own personal advice would be to not trust the emulator and APK at this time. Give Microsoft more time to iron out potential issues. This is pretty new for Microsoft and detection, prevention, etc for the Android structure is a lot different than it is for Windows.

 

You have the following error in the logs

So did you just install Windows 11?

Was this an upgrade from Windows 10?

It looks like you installed or tried to install some game named Farmer?

There are a couple of entries that seem to be related to that. I'm not seeing any obvious signs of an infection but there is a possible entry that might be there from an upgrade process.

Let me have you run a Microsoft Scan and see if they find anything wrong as well.

 

 

 

 

 

Microsoft Safety Scanner

Please make sure you Exit out of any other program you might have open so that the sole task is to run the following scan.   
That goes especially for web browsers, make sure all are fully exited out of and messenger programs are exited and closed as well
 

STEP 1

Please set File Explorer to SHOW ALL folders, all files, including hidden ones.  Use OPTION ONE or TWO of this article

https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/7078-turn-off-show-all-folders-windows-10-navigation-pane.html

STEP 2

I suggest a new scan for viruses & other malware. This may take several hours, depending on the number of files on the system and the speed of the computer.

The Microsoft Safety Scanner is a free Microsoft stand-alone virus scanner that can be used to scan for & remove malware or potentially unwanted software from a system. 

The download links & the how-to-run-the tool are at this link at Microsoft 

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

 

Look on the Scan Options & select the FULL scan.

Then start the scan. Have lots of patience. It may take several hours.

• Once you see it has started, take a long long break;  walk away.  Do not pay credence if you see some intermediate early flash messages on the screen display.  The only things that count are the End result at the end of the run.
• The scan will take several hours.  Leave it alone. It will remove any other remaining threats as it goes along.  Take a very long break, do your normal personal errands .....just do not use the computer during this scan.

This is likely to run for many hours as previously mentioned  ( depending on the number of files on your machine & the speed of the hardware.)

The log is named MSERT.log  and the log will be at C:\Windows\debug\msert.log

Please attach that log with your next reply.

Thank you
