Unceartain About DLK.EXE

Hello Everyone,

I just downloaded some keygen for program, and right after I clicked on the keygen, it turned out to be a fake. My system was attacked by two viruses that AVG picked up. And not long after, my Online Armor (Firewall) started picking up strange activity from the DLK.exe trying to access a bunch of things. The file is stored in the TEMP folder, so I kind of wonder if the file is somehow harmful because it seems an odd place for such a file. Anyway, I want to know if the file is safe or harmful. The firewall has it safely pinned down for now.

Many thanks for listening, and I look forward to your replies.

Best wishes,
0rpheus.

 

I have read the two items, and I have complied with their tasks. My installation is only a few days old, so the system is pretty clean. And I am not sure what you meant by posting requested logs because the guides never asked for such things. But I could be somehow wrong on that point.

I realize the keygen was a very stupid idea, and I should have never risked such things for minimal rewards. I am no longer interested in pursuing such actions.

I am also not sure if the keygen is in any way related to the DLK.exe. All I want to know if it is a safe or harmful file. My AVG and Malwarebytes says that it is fine, but I wonder when the firewall recognizes it as having many actions all at once and persistent too.

Any word would be helpful. Thanks.
