I am infected with a hijack loader that has never been detected by any antivirus software, and I cannot remove it.

Hello everyone,

I downloaded various software from the web to make my PC more convenient. However, I didn't notice the fake download links and got tricked by an ad download link, leading to an infection with a virus that steals sessions from Firefox, Chrome, Riot Games, Epic Games, and Steam.

The hacker stole my Firefox session, logged into my Google account, and took over my Epic Games, Valorant, and Steam accounts.

Here are the things I have tried: using Norton Power Eraser, performing full scans (in Safe Mode) with the free trials of ESET and Kaspersky, scanning with AdwCleaner, Malwarebytes, and HitmanPro. Despite using all of these, the virus was not detected, and when I scanned the executable with VirusTotal, none of the antivirus software detected it.

I considered performing a clean install, but I still have important video editing data on my PC, and initializing it would be very troublesome.

The issue began on May 9th, and I'm currently managing with another PC.

There are many people giving negative ratings on VirusTotal, and the comments mention that it is a hijack loader. Some in the community mentioned that they obtained this malware from cheat trainer sites. It appears that this malware is being distributed in many places.

I have deleted all browser cookies on my PC and changed passwords using my smartphone to recover my accounts, but the virus still remains on my PC.

Hello. Connecting the infected PC to the internet might cause further damage, so would logs from a VMware simulation be acceptable? When I tried it earlier, a mysterious process called "more utility" appeared, and there was a folder named "zb" in AppData/Roaming with strange DLLs and ZIP files...

Hi,

Please download the attached Fixlist.txt file to the same folder where the Farbar tool is running from.
The location is listed in the 3rd line of the FRST.txt log you have submitted.

Run FRST and click Fix only once and wait.

The Computer will restart when the fix is completed.

It will create a log (Fixlog.txt) please post it to your reply.
===

Please post the Fixlog.txt and let me know what problem persists.
