    Malwarebytes detected Trojan.Starter in SKYPE.EXE.LNK file


    A severe Trojan threat was detected on my Laptop yesterday with Windows Defender Antivirus. The threat was quarantined and supposedly, "Removed or Restored" according to Windows Defender Antivirus. I then installed ADW Cleaner using a USB installed from an uninfected computer. I then ran my infected computer in Safe Mode, I ran 11 scans with ADW cleaner and removed 71 files that were "Pre-Installed software components" that may or may not have been malicious. I then restarted my computer normally. I ran a full Windows Defender scan 2 h 42 minutes on my computer and nothing else was detecte

    New Trojan Calls on Skype

    Another Trojan horse is spreading through the Internet telephone network of Skype Ltd. The malicious code, known as both Warezov and Stration, is similar to an earlier version detected in February, but with a new URL and a new version of the malicious code, according to an alert posted Thursday by Websense Inc. Websense warns Skype users to watch for the message "Check up this," with a URL containing a hyperlink. When users click on the link, they are redirected to a site that is hosting a file named file_01.exe. Users are then prompted to run the file and if they do, several other files are downloaded and run. The downloaded files are other versions of the Waresov/Stration malicious code, so be careful when receiving messages from people not in your contact list.

    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.

    Malwarebytes detected Trojan.Starter in SKYPE.EXE.LNK file

    Trojan Detected in OneDrive


    Can I just make an observation here?

    From your pic, it appears that the executable OneDrive.exe has been flagged as a virus. This sounds like a FP (false positive) to me.

    I would suggest you upload that file to VirusTotal website and see what comes up there.

    I have the same file on my system in the same location and it's 536KB. I do not use OneDrive on this particular machine.

    I do not think you are infected with anything. Did TDSSKiller find anything on that file?
