msb.exe is not going away

[Jehanzeb]

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone had a great time in new year!

Right back to work shall we?.

I am keep getting msb.exe, b.exe and f.exe Trojans on every scan however Malwarebytes says it will be removed after a restart. However, it doesn't remove them. Upon restart when I run the scan again it comes up with three files again.

Here is the log:

======================================================================

C:\Windows\msb.exe (Trojan.Agent) -> Delete on reboot.

C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Temp\f.exe (Trojan.Dropper) -> Delete on reboot.

=======================================================================

Even after reboot it does not get deleted. Any ideas?

I was also getting message upon windows restart that Windows has blocked the program Malwarebytes. I re-enabled it but the program still doesn't remove the files. Under Safe-mode, it doesn't even detect the spyware.

Please advise.

Many thanks

Regards

Jehanzeb
