[QUOTE="cruelsister, post: 1083769, member: 7463"] A file, whether something legitimate like Malwarebytes installer, or something malicious like a Data Stealer must be executed from somewhere. It could be from a CD, or it can be from Windows Temp, or it could be from a random directory, or even from the Desktop. Any of these is an equally valid way to run a file. A file to be run MUST reside somewhere on the drive or in memory- but even here something must first initiate it from somewhere else. It is also possible to combine these 2- the execution of a otherwise legitimate binary that connects out and acquires a self initiating malicious file the effects of which would be indistinguishable from teleportation.
