Nikilet 1 Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Please see attached screenshot. I don't know how to handle this because I get the same pop up if I click on quarantine. Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Zoll 309 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hi Nikilet, That is a Generic detection signature and without the full file path, I cannot give you guidance on what you should do. Screenshots are horrible for that purpose. Please export the detection report and attach it to your reply. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikilet 1 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Here is the report. It was found again this evening, of course. scan_190116-191627.txt Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Zoll 309 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Niklet, I'm not sure what the shortcut is. The detection is against BitDefender's signatures and is a generic heuristic detection signature. Which raises the possibility that it is a false positive. I would like to get a couple of logs from FRST. Download to your Desktop: Farbar Recovery Scan ToolNOTE: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version. NOTE: If you are unable to download FRST from the infected system, FRST can be saved to and run from a USB flash drive. Run Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST): Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to the disclaimer.NOTE: DO NOT change any of the default settings. If you do we will just close your logs and ask for new ones ran with FRST's default settings. Press Scan button. Farbar Recovery Scan Tool will produce the following logs: FRST.txt Addition.txt Attach those logs to your reply. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikilet 1 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I'm pretty sure this is a shortcut to create a restore point that I have on my desktop. Attached are the files you asked for. Addition.txt FRST.txt Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Zoll 309 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Nikilet, It is quite possible that is what that shortcut if for. I do not see any malware in the FRST reports. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikilet 1 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 So do I just go ahead and quarantine or remove it and then create a new shortcut? Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Zoll 309 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 If it is your shortcut to create a restore point, then leave it. Link to post Share on other sites
