Help Me With Some Detected Malware

    I am opening this thread with an apology. I have put the cart before the horse so to speak. If my request for help is refused I shall understand.

    Today, I thought it would be fruitful to update he software on my PCs. After that I started to do scans with my software, including Malwarebytes. I was surprised when it found 2232 threats! I note that a lot of them appear to be on an account belonging to a child. I know she won’t have downloaded dodgy stuff but that she may unknowingly have clicked on links on things she watches such as YouTube, TikTok and Roblox. Her account doesn’t have administrator rights so I’m not sure how she has possibly downloaded things. One thing I also recently noted is that when you log into her account something called Chromium tries to open. I don’t know if that’s the trojan browser to which Malwarebytes is referring.

    First, I attach the Malwarebytes log (MBLog.txt) but have done something you generally recommend against. After the scan I let Malwarebytes quarantine the threats whereas I know you prefer to read logs before any action is taken. As I said above I’ll understand if you decline to help me. It was only once I got Malwarebytes to quarantine the threats that it dawned on me to post in this forum.

    Secondly, what can I do to prevent her from inadvertently downloading malware but still allow her to use these things she likes.

    Thirdly, should I be worried from the contents of this Malwarebytes scan whether it has compromised my security such as internet banking.

    After doing the Malwarebytes scan I did one with SUPERAntispyware. That found thirty-three objects and I attach its log (SASLog.txt). I have done nothing other than the scan on SUPERAntispyware.

    Finally, I did a scan with Windows Defender, which reported it had detected no thtreats.
