How to Remove RAT

I'm not sure if these Revenge-RAT v0.3 file detections have anything to do with what you are having:

What is this exe file? Is this file safe? Check here

When you're clicking on the red "Not trusted" you'll see more details and also links to respective VirusTotal scans.

Suggestion to run the Emsisoft Emergency Kit, see item 3 here:
List of Malware Removal Tools

Perhaps it's best to ask for free expert help in a specialized forum, see i.e. here:

• Emsisoft Help
• Preparation Guide For Use Before Using Malware Removal Tools and Requesting Help - Virus, Trojan, Spyware, and Malware Removal Help
• I'm infected - What do I do now?

Might be best to do a clean reinstall, please do read through

virustotal

Below is from their support area.



1) A list of each reviewing partner and their findings. Possible findings are:

• Undetected: The given engine does not detect the file as malicious.
• Suspicious: The given engine flags the file as suspicious.
• Unable to process file type: The given engine does not understand the type of file submitted and so will not produce verdicts for it.
• Timeout: The given engine reached VirusTotal's time execution limit when processing the file and so no verdicts were recorded for it.

Make of that what you will.

Take a look at this PDF:

Search it for the word "detected". I got 21 hits, some related to Virustotal.

Defender Virustotal integration?

Normally when I download a file, I have it scanned by Microsoft Defender and on top by Virustotal.
If possible I run such file within a Windows VM.

Today I did the same, Defender showed 0 threats and Virustotal reported 14 'issues'. Most of them are by less known AV products, such as Elastic, Fortinet, Trapmine, Zilya, but Eset-NOD32 and McAfee were also in the list.
It -could- be these are all false positives, I don't know.

Now, it seems that a product like Emsisoft integrated Virustotal (as well as two other engines).
(Not sure how they do that though).
AFAIK this is not the case with Microsoft Defender.

Wonder why?
Might very well be that it is beyond the scope of a free product?

thanks.
