    I think I downloaded malware, I am very very scared


    So I was being stupid, I don't want to talk about it, but I think I downloaded malware, and from what I see in the SCs of virus websites, it's really bad. What can I do?I have some Farbar recovery scan tool logs too. I saw that helped some guy with his issue on here. Here are the links to the virus websites about the file. The file was called Bootstrapper.exehttps://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/224b6cd6790682c716c59acd8815b38a15344d0a78397d4b7fbae9f45ab13cf9/detectionhttps://tria.ge/240719-zmtxwsygnl

    Malware scare

    I was referring to emails in my inbox from another p.c. help website that mentioned this malware scare, & apparently,what to do about it. didn't check it out; probably won't. Just thought I'd ask

    about it here.

    Best way to remove problem Malware

    Hi There,

    I am trying to remove a bundle of Malware without success.

    There is a bundle of listed programs which I try to uninstall through the typical Control Panel effort, but they remain listed there:

    Buenosearch Toolbar
    MyPC Backup
    PC Performer
    Speed Test 127
    UnknownFile

    I was looking at this weblink which provides a 5 step process for Buenosearch alone:
    http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-bueno-search/

    Not sure how much certain guides can be trusted. One of the first things I read was to download Revo Uninstaller, and I've not heard of it so I'm not sure if it's trustworthy..........

    sourceforge bundles malware

    From the main Filezilla Sourceforge page you can also browse the files, this is usually used for downloading older versions but you can download the latest version as well through there. At the top right of the file list is an option to switch to "Direct Download Link" to On. So anything you download from the file list will be the actual file, not the malware filled Sourceforge installer.
