    Hello

    I’ve just been carrying out routine malware scans of my PC. The object identified in the attached scan log was found by Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. Can you please tell me:

    1. How harmful is this object?
    2. What option/s shall I use to clean my PC?
    3. What other step/s do I need to take in light of 1 and 2 above?
    PC: Hewlett-Packard s5770uk-m
    Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) Service Pack 1
    Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Version: 1.0.1.711

    Thanks!

    I discovered this infection when performing a manual scan. No anti-malware software alerted me to this threat. All my anti-malware software is up-to-date. It questions the use of anti-malware programs if they don't warn you of potential threats.

    I would say it was classed as a very low risk item, hence the "optional" status.
