    OK well I let Trend Micro P-cillin scan and it found something called CRYP_FAKEAV-2

    It said it was located in my system32 and I found the file. What should I do with it? I don't want to mess up my computer from deleting a system32 file.

    Hi there, our malware removal procedures are as follows below:

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

    Notes:
    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, You can try running steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.


    Plus a guide on HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post

    So after downloading all the necessary tools, update MBAM and SAS, run scans with all tools, and upload the 4 requested logs. Then when we have reviewed them we can come back to you with a set of instructions.

    Thanks
    Kes13!
