Pernicious malware that hijacks .exe files with a pop-up filled with Chinese characters.

[QUOTE="seraph7, post: 792914, member: 77502"] Hi, I wonder if any of you guys have come across such a maleare? I am online a lot and am very mindful of the risks involved. I use Windows Defender in conjunction with Malwarebytes Premium 3.0+,. Three weeks ago, I must have accidentally clicked on something I shouldn't or some script got past my Firefox (I use uBlock Origins, No Coin and Malwarebytes add-ons) and I ended up with something vthat hijacked my .exe application files. Running scans with Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, and then Kaspersky AV, Avast AV (Free), Spybot SD, Sophos AV (Free) and Hitman Pro cleaned up a few PUPs but the problem still persisted. Using rKill and Power Tool managed to contain the problem somewhat. But I felt that the malware was not totally eradicated. Even after I did a clean install, I noticed that Microsoft Edge would open on its own and I suspect that the desktop I was in was a clone. Does it make sense? Or was I being paranoid. To cut a long story short, I have done another 'clean' install, this time with software and Windows from another system and have yet to go online. So far things seen okay. But I still worry. What do you guys think? Any ideas as to what this malware is? I have also used autoruns but the malware recognises this now and then. As it does with procmon. Any ideas and insight will be much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
