  1. Unable to remove mkeeper.exe malware


    I have W10 Home 64bit v10.0.18363.900. I use McAfee Total Protection as my real time security app. I also use Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, Spybot S&D and Rogue Killer free editions to do adhoc manual scans. In my most recent SAS scan, it spent a long time on C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\MKeeperStat\mkeeper.exe. This is how I identified the file was on my pc. Eventually the scan moved on. SAS didn't flag the file as malware. Not being aware of the file or it's purpose I searched it online. Every hit said it's malware and should be removed asap. I have 2 problems there. None of my security apps, mentioned above, flag the file as malware.

    The MKeeperStat folder and mkeeper.exe file don't appear in Windows Explorer. I have Show Hidden folders & Files selected. Based on an old community thread, I also downloaded and ran Adware and Farbar Recovery Scan Tool. Neither of them either found the file or didn't flag it as malware. Due to the potential damage this file might cause, I'd appreciate any help in how I can get rid of it. Thank you.

    :)

  2. 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:
    Remove Bueno Search (Removal Guide)

    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..........

  3. removal of sidecubes malware

    Do not get SpyHunter. It's just as bad as the malware you have,

    Follow the steps here.

    Remove SideCubes Search (Virus Removal Guide)

    If it is not listed in the Control Panel, or it can't be removed there, move on to step 2. HitmanPro might not be needed.

    Understood, OldMike. I will keep your suggestion in mind. I always appreciate suggestions from those who know more than I do. I think the Malware did do more than one scan, because I had to approve removal of what it found twice. I don't see Windows Defender on the list of programs. I think it was on there before they redid the software. Pluto TV also disappeared.
