  1. .exe files reduced to 0kb


    Hello. I have a computer that I'm trying to fix that was infected by this virus (Win32.Grenam.G) that made almost all .exe files 0KB and probably moved the real ones somewhere else I don't know. UWD apps have not been affected.

    Upon obtaining the computer I have updated OS, installed Bitdefender and Malwarebytes which came up with 14 and 104 infected files respectively (it was a breeding zone lol). I've also downloaded Microsoft Safety Scanner and Malwarebytes' Adwcleaner and removed some more stuff.


    But after following this thread for someone that had the same problem, the help the person was receiving became specialized upon his farbar log files and I couldn't follow along. So if there's anyone that's had the same issue, or knows how to fix one, would appreciate your response. Thanks.


    Windows 10 Pro 1803 (updating to 1903 at the moment)

    :)

    ALL MY .EXE FILES SIZE TURNED TO 0kb

    Had the same problem yesterday...all setup files turned to 0Kb and most applications too. Opened the file locations of all suspicious processes with task manager and deleted them. Then For every file that had 0Kb, it has some previous version available
    just before it was modified by the malware. I restored a few of them but because there are so many EXEs to restore one by one its unrealistic. So I did system restore and all installed applications worked while the 0Kb setup files disappeared. because I needed
    them I had to undo sytem restore again, and when it was done. All the files were available in their original state, not a single file lost. Guess I got lucky but someone else may have the same good fortune
