    Got caught by Windows System Suite, I think. I don't think it's a coincidence that we had this come up when browsing and then 24 hours later, MWB picks up a "Rogue Installer" file which was created that same day in a temp folder. Had MWB clean that up, I'm just verifying that that's all there is to it. I've got a thread going on the Malwarebytes forum, so I won't start one here just yet. If I can't get any help there, I'll cancel that one and start one over here.

    I was looking at RootRepeal and I just have a question. Does RootRepeal automatically clean or does it just tell you if there is a rootkit there?

    So far I've had no other symptoms as a result of the above mentioned malware finding. Just running an online scan with Kaspersky at the moment. (I absolutely CANNOT get bitdefender's online scanner to run on that machine, and I have spent literally hours trying to.)
