Suspicious startup file - aveyixusumoca

I know there is a malware section on the site for issues like this, but I want to see if I can determine if this file IS actually malicious before I post in there. If anyone has any information on it, I would greatly appreciate hearing it. I've tried searching on google for anything similar to this, but I get absolutely no results what so ever even typing in part of the file name, which in itself has me a little suspicious. I figured at least someone somewhere would have posted something regarding this file.

 

As an addition, this file is found in rundll32.exe "C:\WINDOWS\aveyixusumoca.dll",Startup

 

If an internet search for a file name comes up blank, it's a pretty sure sign that it is part of some malware attack that uses naming randomisation to try to hide from detection.

If that file is set to auto-start, it's almost a certainty.

 

Yea, it is set to auto-start on windows startup. I'll run malwarebytes and see if it comes up as a hit with that I suppose. Should I move this topic over to the malware section then?

 

If you work your way carefully through the instructions here and you're still having problems, then create a new thread in the Malware forum, attaching the logs from the scans.

 

Yea, I was just looking at that post. Going to do that at some point today when I have time. Thanks again for the info.
