Solved hotspot

[mkoundo]

hi all, I look after my parent's laptop remotely. For 5+ years, this laptop has had avast free and weekly scans with malwarebytes anti-malware. I ran emsisoft emegency kit and zemana anti-malware on-demand for a second opinion yesterday and zam detected and cleaned:

Object : NE->c:\programdata\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\hotspot
Detection : PUA:Win32/Free WiFi.B!Neng

avast, mbam & eek did not detect anything.

is this a malware? does it require any further action?

thank you for your help

Hello,

Is this the only thing you're concerned about? Anything else unusual with your computer?

that's all. no other issues as far as i know. should i be worried?

Nope, that's probably some very old remnant, maybe even an empty folder.
