[QUOTE="TimK, post: 728718, member: 71806"] Hi there, I'm having a lot of trouble ridding my system of this apparent infection. Here's my history / symptoms: - installed bitdefender free on my system - used computer more or less OK a few months - frequent notifications regarding on-access scan, item blocked, deleted etc - "Gen:Variant.application.hackTool.38" from the C:\Windows\Temp folder - Occasional computer restarts, blue screen, "your system restarted unexpectedly" etc - Computer working very hard (CPU fan etc) with google chrome running, basically not doing much - suspicious I then read some of the assisstance articles on this site. Following advice I downloaded Rkill, Malwarebytes, Hitmanpro, Wemana and Emisoft onto a USB key. - restart computer in safemode with networking - run Rkill - all ok - install and run malwarebytes, Hitmanpro - detection of about 26000 threats - quaranteened - restart in normal mode, instalation and run of wemana & emisoft - a few more detections and quaranteens. - Hoping all is well, back to using my computer for a few weeks - Intermittent notifictations from bitdefender as before - "Gen:Variant.application.hackTool.38" from the C:\Windows\Temp folder - Otherwise running reasonably - repeated advise and programs listed above - deleted a few thousand threats, but less than last time Did some more research on this site - Ran the same programs as above, plus Malwarebytes ADWCleaner, plus CCleaner, plus uninstalled Chrome........ - Cleaned a few of the same files as before - a few thousand. - Restarted computer......... - frequent notifications regarding on-access scan, item blocked, deleted etc - "Gen:Variant.application.hackTool.38" from the C:\Windows\Temp folder -AAAAARRRRGGGGhhhhh!!!!!!! - I'm getting nowhere!! Any helpful advice will be very gratefully received!! thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
