    Onedrive file change detection


    Can someone help me in understand how onedrive detects when a file is changed?

    E.g. from modification date/time? size?


    I have a crypting sw (Veracrypt) which creates a file which contains a virtual volume. The size is predetermines (e.g. 5 MB), and within it this file seems unmodified (in terms of date/dite and size) even if you modify the crypted content. I think CRC only can detect a modification.

    :)

    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?

    Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

    If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.

    Onedrive file change detection

    Trojan Detected in OneDrive


    The odd thing is I don't even use OneDrive except to automatically upload photos from my Android phone to my desktop; nothing has been detected on the phone.
    I've run another full scan with Bitdefender and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (free) without any further detection.
    Was just wondering if there might be other steps I need to carryout to be sure nothing spreads? Thanks!
