    Strange Malware


    My antiviruses avg and bit defender keep blocking files named “tmprandom characters” and “gen:variant.Johnnie.369925” and they are all in the “temp” file which I have 4 of, and one was made today, one was made 2 days ago, another was made maybe a week ago, and the last on was made when I first got my computer, is this some kind of malware? Avg blocks the tmp, and bit defender blocks the variant Johnnie one.

    :)

    Did our Epson printer get hacked?

    Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.

    Strange Malware

    Best way to remove problem Malware

    Hi There,

    I am trying to remove a bundle of Malware without success.

    There is a bundle of listed programs which I try to uninstall through the typical Control Panel effort, but they remain listed there:

    Buenosearch Toolbar
    MyPC Backup
    PC Performer
    Speed Test 127
    UnknownFile

    I was looking at this weblink which provides a 5 step process for Buenosearch alone:
    http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-bueno-search/

    Not sure how much certain guides can be trusted. One of the first things I read was to download Revo Uninstaller, and I've not heard of it so I'm not sure if it's trustworthy..........
