[QUOTE="Atlas147, post: 710462, member: 25728"] From your screenshots on your other post, I saw that Zemana Antimalware mostly picked up potentially unwanted modifications, not sure about the rest of the other detections. But from that it might just be an application that overstepped it's boundaries and changed a lot of the default settings (therefore POTENTIALLY unwanted modifications). You should try to find out the source of these changes (if not already detected by the second opinion scanners). Changing your AV probably would not help you, the truth is there is no AV that can pick up all the malware in the world. Instead you should focus on your browsing habits to prevent future infections, such as always checking the file on virustotal before installing it, even if it came from a "trusted website". Also there are additional settings in your AV that could potentially prevent this from happening again, such as harderned mode, enabling cybercapture, increasing HIPS and sensitivity to maximum and doing scans with second opinion scanners (Zemana, Malwarebytes, etc) every month or so.
