nathanb98 0 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Dear Emsisoft - Your software seems to be picking up some malware activity from my laptop. A normal scan doesn't pick anything up (see attached log), but several items have been automatically quarantined and blocked. There is no obvious impact on the functionality of my laptop. I apologize for not following your directions perfectly. You software did quite a bit of automatic activity before I found your forum post with the submission instructions. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer. Many thanks - Nathan FRST.txt Addition.txt scan_160403-224842.txt Quarantine_160404-230808.txt Scan_160404-230756.txt BB_160404-230745.txt FG_160404-230724.txt Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Zoll 309 Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Nathan, Your system does not appear to be infected. However, the other logs you provided do show some suspicious activity. Do the following: Download AdwCleaner and save it on your desktop. Close all open programs and Internet browsers (you may want to print our or write down these instructions first). Double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool. Click on the Scan button. After the scan has finished, click on the Clean button. Confirm each time with OK. You will be prompted to restart your computer. A text file will open in Notepad after the restart (this is the log of what was removed), which you can save on your desktop. Attach that log file to your reply by clicking the More Reply Options button to the lower-right of where you type in your reply.NOTE: If you lose that log file for any reason, you can find it at C:\AdwCleaner on your computer. Download Junkware Removal Tool and save it on your desktop.Run the tool by double-clicking it. The tool will open and start scanning your system. Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications. On completion, a log is saved to your desktop and will automatically open. Attach the JRT log file to a reply by clicking the More Reply Options button to the lower-right of where you type in your reply.

nathanb98 0 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 One more interesting point. I have two accounts on my laptop, a general-use account and an admin account. I ran all the previous scans from the general use account, using the "Run as Administrator" option. However, I just ran a regular Emsisoft scan on the admin account, and it found six issues. I then ran JRT, Adware Cleaner, and the Emsisoft Emergency Kit - but none of them found anything. (See attached logs). Any thoughts would be very appreciated.

Kevin Zoll 309 Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Nathan, Let's take a fresh look. Run fresh scans with Emsisoft Emergency Kit (EEK) and FRST, attach the new EEK and FRST scans to your reply. Be sure to let me know how things are running? Link to post Share on other sites
nathanb98 0 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Thanks much. As you can see from the logs, the only activity found was when the I used EEK to scan my D drive (log "scan_160411-215000"). It found two instances of Trojan.Script.657231. *I have not Quarantined the two files yet.* Please let me know how to proceed. -NB Addition.txt FRST.txt scan_160411-214037.txt scan_160411-215000.txt Link to post Share on other sites
