Hello. I accidentally (when booting liveUSB Linux) found very strange file in Windows 7 boot partition.
It is called KWEGD , with no extension. Sha256 checksum is a199cb65b19f2385f9afa97622d78fb7d0f2d5f8018c5de96b0df50c5bc39655
Virustotal found nothing but detect it as DOS executable (COM)


But when I upload it to run HybridAnalysis (also with bootmgr) it's sandbox described it as malicious

I zipped boot partition. Can I upload it here? Not supported extension.

What it is? What should I do?

Hello..! :) Excuse me for the delay..! Please do the following and provide me the results for analysis..:

Step 1:

Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool

  • Download Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool and save it to your Desktop
  • Hit the Windows Key + R at the same time
  • Drag and drop the KVRT icon on your Desktop into the Run box to the right of Open:
  • Add -dontencrypt so that it looks like C:\Users\**Your User Name***\Desktop\KVRT.exe -dontencrypt (with a space between .exe and "-")
  • Click OK
  • Review and place check marks in all 3 I confirm boxes then click Accept
  • Click Change parameters
  • Place check marks in the following categories:
Code:
System memory
Startup objects
Boot sectors
System drive
  • Click OK
  • Click Start scan
  • When completed click Continue
  • Close the program
  • Hit the Windows Key + E at the same time
  • Navigate to the C:\KVRT2020_Data\Reports folder
  • Right click on KLR File which looks similar to report_2022.09.12_06.27.09 and select Open
  • Please attach the contents of the log in your next reply.

Step 2:

Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit - Scan Only


  • Download Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit and save it to your Desktop
  • Right click the mbar icon and select Run as administrator
  • Click OK to install it on your desktop
  • Click Next on the following screen
  • On the Update Database: screen click Update to download the latest definition updates then click Next
  • Click Scan and allow the process to complete
  • Click the Exit button not Cleanup
  • A system-log report will be created in the mbar folder placed on your Desktop. Please attach the contents of the log in your next reply.

Step 3:

Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop. --> IMPORTANT

If your antivirus software detects the tool as malicious, it’s safe to allow FRST to run. It is a false-positive detection.
If English is not your primary language, right click on FRST.exe/FRST64.exe and rename to FRSTEnglish.exe/FRST64English.exe

Note:
You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
  • Double-click the FRST icon to run the tool. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button and wait for a while.
  • The scanner will produced two logs on your Desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
  • Please attach the content of these two logs in your next reply.
---------------------------------------------------

In your next reply, please include:
  • Kaspersky report
  • MBAR report
  • FRST.txt
  • Addition.txt
