Malware – “acer” - 2016.02.14

Dear MajorGeeks Forum,

Malware – “ACER” - 2016.02.14

Currently the C Drive which is of 99.9 GB capacity, only 1.71 GB is free. Occasionally this space is not adequate to update the AVG Antivirus. I have only installed essential software. I ran the Malware Scans to exclude any malware.

If these logs are clean, please advice on how to get more free space. CCleaner and Disk cleaner were also run but did not clean up a lot of space.

Thanking you.

Yours Sincerely,
Manilka

 

The current version of RogueKiller does not have tabs as the previous version.



From the detected items,

• [PUP] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\AdTrustMedia -> Found
• [PUP] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{FB16E5C3-A9E2-47A2-8EFC-319E775E62CC} -> Found

were selected for removal.



The RKreport[2] log is attached herewith

 

I did not open the Scan Report at the earlier instance.

The RKreport[2] log (which was not uploaded)
The RKreport[3] log (created after running the Roguekiller again)
The RKreport[4] log (after deleting the remaining items) are attached herewith

 

I offer my apologies for the delay in response as I was busy for the last few weeks.


The Disk Space problem resolved after flushing the Restore Points and Creating a new one and reducing the Disk Space allocated for System Restore 100% (100 GB) to 90%. The free space in C Drive increased up to 75 GB!


All is well and I am running my routine malware scan at present to check for any malware.


Thank You for your time and effort.


I will look up the proxy situation and get back to you.
