    Is this a virus?


    Hello!

    I have an unsual problem since getting my new laptop.
    So, last week i bought a Lenovo Legion y570, i5 with 16 gb ram and a 500 gb ssd. It came with no OS, so i installed a copy of Windows 10 Pro build 1903 on it.
    The problem manifests as it follows: occasionally, when installing some programs, it won't allow me to do so, stating that the .exe needs elevation. I am running an administrator account.
    Furthermore, I explored security settings of the SSD, and it says that the owner of it is "TrustedInstall". Could that be the problem? I have changed ownership of the SSD to my username, then did the same with permissions, but i still get the "this executable needs elevation".

    Being that i lost patience with it, I wiped the SSD and installed another copy of Windows 10, from a different source. I get the same "error".
    What can I do?

    :)

    Clean the Virus

    Hi,

    Virus infection usually happens on a computer when it is exposed to an infected website or removable devices. For us to help you clean the malware on your device, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build and version of Windows are you using?
    • Did you encounter any error messages related to having a virus infection on your device?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest running any available antivirus software on your PC. It would be very helpful to us if you could also provide the result of the antivirus scan process.

    Looking forward to your response.
