    Suspicious Application


    I have this very suspicious application running as a background process. I tried searching the web about it but I found no relevant results, not even one close to the application itself. Although it barely uses my memory, it is still suspicious. The application is called "Perfect Pefeko". I need answers about what is this application, what is it doing on my computer, and if it's a virus, how to remove it. Suspicious Application b8722786-c5ac-4381-9ac0-9e16c04df875?upload=true.png

    Settings / applications on startup / suspicious application

    Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)

    Choose the Startup Tab

    Is that suspicious application listed there?

    If so, right click that and choose 'Open File Location'

    What is the reported location of that application?

    Turn On Windows Defender Block Suspicious Behaviors in Windows 10  

    The DWORD is set to 0 and I cannot get the process you suggested in the "NOTE" portion of the tutorial to work. Two attached screen shoots will show the before and after attempts to change the Permissions necessary for access to the DWORD change.

    Hi Bibiana___

    Yes, that application does look suspicious, when you turned off that Application, then restarted your PC, did you 100% disk stop?

    If not:

    Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)

    Choose the Processes Tab, then click on the Disk column header, so that arrow faces down

    Leave that window open to monitor your system

    When your disk is at 100%, what are the top 5 processes at that time?
