    How to fully remove a trojan that hides as "cmd.exe" and "SearchProtocolHost.exe"?


    Hello, I am experiencing a persistent issue with my PC that seems to be related to a Trojan infection. My antivirus software has been consistently targeting two specific programs: `cmd.exe` and `SearchProtocolHost.exe`. Along with this, it detects the download of a series of suspicious files within my public users' folders, including a "b.bat" file, a "Service.exe" file, and a "b.vbs" file. Additionally, a compressed file .7z is downloaded into my Local/Temp folder, which then gets extracted automatically. Despite taking steps to address this malware, including installing and running scans

    Windows Defender detects an .exe as Win32/Bitrep.A Trojan?

    OK, I had this software(earlier version) on another computer and never had it detected as a Trojan. I tried installing the latest version of this software on my new computer and it got detected as "Win32/Bitrep.A" Trojan after about a week of being installed
    and Windows Defender deleted it. I tried re-downloading and then scanned the installation exe with Windows Defender and it detected it as the same Trojan. I then tried re-downloading again and Windows Defender deleted it as soon as it finished downloading.
    The earlier version installation exe wasn't detected as a Trojan. I also tried a update exe to the software that wasn't the same version and nothing was detected. It seems to be with this certain version of the software or the update to this version. The developer
    recommended installing the free version of Avast. Once installed, I scanned the installation exe with Avast and nothing was detected. Is there a Trojan with the software? According to Windows Defender there is. According to Avast there isn't.

    exe for hiding desktop icons.

    Hi, Kyriakos97GR As far as I know there is not an exe that will do that . . . So I wrote a quick exe that will do that for you. I am a developer and it only took 5 minutes to write - Enjoy! Execute the exe to hide your Desktop Icons Execute it again to
    show your Desktop Icons Click this link to download the exe from my DropBox account - Dropbox - Error - Simplify your life
