Windows 10: Non existent hacktool & drive?

I have a windows 8 which I upgraded to Windows 10 a month ago. Windows 8 copy was legit and it went off smoothly. Now a full security scan says I have Win32/AutoKMS hacktool running in background. But I really dont have any other MS products installed pirated or legal. I DONT have MSoffice either. It says the file is on E Drive which does not exist on my PC. So what gives?

:)

 

"HackTool"

Empty temporary internet files, restart the computer, manually update Defender so you'll have the latest definitions and run a Quick Scan.

See https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-hacktool-win32-keygen-virus/ Note the suggestion to send a copy of the file if necessary
to VirusTotal for analysis and that you may need to reset your browsers.



Other scanners that may help with this issue are listed in List

Activity Reporting error non-existent device

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that a non-existent device is showing in the activity reporting. As you have mentioned that you have removed the device from Manage device limits for all family accounts, I suggest you to try removing the device from the child account
and check if that helps. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Login to
   https://login.live.com with the child account.
   
2. Click on Devices.
   
3. Click on show details for the device that is non-existing.
   
4. Click on More actions.
   
5. Click on Remove PC.
   
6. Click on I’m ready to remove this PC and click on
   Remove.
   

Hope it helps.



Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
