Virus Total Detects Zegost Trojan in One Drive

[Zemana]

I need help from experts in this site, MalwareTips, because 1 month ago Spy Hunter told me I am okay from a possible high CPU monero mining incident. Then here I am with Virus Total detecting a Trojan from One Drive that I never use and is even disabled. It goes by the name Zegost Trojan, and its usual files according to Symantec in Common Files folder came back negative as well as its registry keys. I have Norton, and they or even its support remote staff was unable to detect this issue as does many antivirus scans. Folks like you might just be able to detect this issue. This is the Virus total hash - 08dd848ee20d671560f0db814368322387b2739be3b428484dd6a429338a9191

Zegost32 Trojan Detected in OneDrive by VirusTotal

I am not using OneDrive and even disabled it. However, Virus Total has detected Trojan[Backdoor]/Win32.Zegost for the file for the computer desktop username. Maybe this might be the reason for a prolonged previous search into another virus topic related one month ago about monero virus CPU mining...

I have reviewed your logs and confirm that there are no malware on this computer.

Keep me posted.

That was valid. It seems to be a false positive. I contacted Antiy Labs. However, if you guys can tell me a good zegost trojan detector, or antivirus that would be great.

I just saw in System Information that my Desktop Laptop Platform Role is Mobile. To confirm my suspicions, in autoruns I get multiple drivers some Intel, Realtek and a majority of Samsung Android USB port, Samsung Android Device, Samsung USB Mobile Logging Device Driver etc. even though my HP laptop is not connected in any way with Samsung.To be Mobile, Transient Multi Monitor(TMM) must be enabled, thereby increasing the likelihood of a remote trojan monitoring my device.
Is this a possible Android phone malware in the likes of BlueBorne that has taken control of the laptop via those drivers via vulnerable android devices near me. Why would a Windows 10 laptop have mobile as its platform? Are there any tips on how to protect a PC from bluetooth completely, like configurations wise? Any idea on how to change the platform back to desktop?

Hi,
Are any of your devices (phone, tablet etc.) Synced with this computer?

 

[Zemana]

I have no synced accounts now. Actually, last March 2019, I did set up my laptop with Samsung SideSync. Could that installation be the reason why I have with the
With powershell command Get-WIndowsDriver -Online around 60 Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. drivers with command line like -
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\via_usb_modem.inf_amd64_2358dcbee0e9f747\via_usb_modem.inf?
. Suspicious drivers also include Mobile Top- C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ssaebus.inf_amd64_52d5c961892b3d6b\ssaebus.inf and
Android USBdeviceClass - C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\android_winusb.inf_amd64_8934a46ee8218e5f\android_win\usb.inf. However, this is a completely 100% reset computer and I remember uninstalling SideSync. So I would assume they would be gone.
