GallowCry Posted September 17 ID:1661436 Share Posted September 17 Hey all: About two weeks ago my system was compromised while downloading some files. At the time, no alerts came from windows and I ran some scans through Malwarebytes which didn't detect anything. It wasn't until a few days later that I became aware of activity in some of my accounts that probably originated from a Trojan through my active sessions. As I was away from my computer at the time I did what I could to safeguard from the situation, changing passwords, enabling 2fa and logging out from all other accounts. When I was able to access my computer once more, I ran Malwarebytes and Avast which alerted me of the Trojan which was named PyengyLoader or something to that effect. I placed it in quarantine, deleted it through Malwarebytes and ran another scan to make sure it was removed, this scan also came back negative. In my haste I've since done a system wipe and have only reinstalled Malwarebytes, Avast and now FRST and have been running scans almost daily just to be on the safe side but I thought I'd ask for help with an extra set of eyes looking over the scan logs just to check for any remaining malware traces or things I should be wary of. I've attached the logs from Malwarebytes and FRST. Also, since I'm a bit anxious about this I've also considered reinstalling windows but I thought I'd consult the forums over here first. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Addition.txt FRST.txt Malwarebytes Scan Report 2024-09-16 223240.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GallowCry Posted September 23 Author ID:1662972 Share Posted September 23 Yes I apologize, I've been busy with work. Since I quarantined the trojan and wiped the computer I haven't noticed any symptoms. I've made sure all accounts have new passwords and 2fa and since then I've only been notified of one failed login attempt on my gmail. I'm taking my precautions, but I think it's safe to say my system is clean. Thank you for all your help and patience. Have a nice day! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
