Windows Component System Software./nirsoft/mitec Virus And Malware Amd Pup

A pretty nasty bunch of shit too. I had to completely wipe everything and start with a fresh install of windows.

I know it was this program because I ran malware bytes and got six hits, (applications had NIRSOFT in them) windows defender got two hits. And I wasn't able to open anything else. Not even cmd prompt. No applications. Couldn't connect to the internet.

A bunch of crap I've never seen before got put on my PC. Do not download this program. I scanned it before hand, it came up clean. It most definitely without a doubt is infected. I can't say if it was put on their by the creators or not. But it's on there, hopefully MG takes it down.

I used the top link. If you want to try it for yourself. Everything seem fine. U til I shutdown my PC a few hours later and came back to it the next day. No internet no sound. Couldn't fix it

 

Oh dear, could have saved yourself a lot of effort by asking about it beforehand, or looking at the Nirsoft site for details of this perennial false positive. Just because "someone" used one of his tools to make, or package with malware, does not make all the site/tools malware. they're all safe, effective and very useful.

Your problem after install was purely down to damage done by your own actions (panic much?) or those of the anti-malware tools you allowed to run at their defaults (for people who did not download/install those tools).

BTW, Mitec tools have never been flagged as malware to my knowledge, while Sysinternals most certainly has, for at least three of their tools (odd that they still don't get flagged, no? Maybe it's because their author big in MSFT). Consistent, yes?

The leading P in PUP and the P in PUM stands for 'Potentially', not persistently, probably or any other P-word.

 

The problems you describe could not have been caused by NirSoft utilities.
Most of these programs are portable - they do not create registry entries, startup items and/or services.
