    Do I REALLY have a virus or malware?


    I just got a NAS. I copied some files to it. Then I ran an antivirus program from the NAS and scanned the files and I got 3 hits so far.


    I got


    Win.Virus.Sality-6822589-0

    Win.Trojan.Badjoke-7


    Microsoft Security Intelligence says that Defender detects Win/Sality, but when I scan the file on the PC, it says it is okay.


    Is this a case of a false positive or is this a new version that Defender doesn't know about. All the defender updates have been applied


    Same thing for the Win.Trojan.Badjoke-7?


    Or is the NAS antivirus program just better at finding these?

    :)

    Is it a Virus or a Malware or something else?

    Hello Joes,

    There's a possibility that your device is infected with a malware causing why you're unable to delete the game on your laptop. In order for us to assist you better, we'd like to ask the following:

    • Aside from formatting the hard drive, what other troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • Have you asked your friend where did he download the games?

    To identify if your computer is infected with a virus or malware, we recommend downloading and running
    Microsoft Safety Scanner. The scanner can easily detect if there's any virus found on your device. To do so, follow the steps on this
    link.

    We are looking forward to your reply.
