If you are carefree just like me(have faith in the antivirus program) then Kaspersky or even BitDefender might be a better option. Quick Heal could not even detect the malware running in the memory (RAM). So next thing I did was to install Malwarebytes and it detected that they were five malware and system was affected.Īnd to my surprise, one of the apps was updater.exe which I previously speculated at first. I could not delete the app directly as it is as had disguised itself as an important part of the Windows OS Program files.
So I located that application on the disk, but to my surprise, it was running from internal c drive folder called "Common Files" with a Firefox logo, so then I illogically uninstalled Firefox.īut the Updater app was still there running in the background listed in task manager. Immediately I noticed that this has to be the malware app. So did some digging in task manager and found out about a updater.exe program running in the background. Was a bit concerned, so I did the full boot-time scan, but the program was unable to find the malware My PC was running quite slow and lagging and hanging up after about an hour of the boot.
Was previously worry-free about installing freeware from the internet.īut recently I installed some 6-7 freeware software, and my computer was affected by malware, after which I uninstalled the freeware.
