    Use Process Explorer to Identify Malware Infection


    Process Explorer is an advanced process management utility that picks up where Task Manager leaves off. It will show you detailed information about a process including its icon, command-line, full image path, memory statistics, user account, security attributes, and more. Process Explorer much better then Windows Task Manager it can help to identify malware infection on your system.


    Configure Process Explorer To Detect Malware Infections

    1. From "Options" menu select "Verify Image Signatures" if this is checked then images corresponding to processes are checked for trusted signatures automatically when you view a process properties and the result is shown next to the company field in the process properties dialog. "(Verified)" next a company name means the file is signed by a trusted root certificate authority and "(Unable to Verify)" means the file is either unsigned or signed by an untrusted authority.

    2. From "Options" menu click "VirusTotal.com" and place check marks on "Check VirusTotal.com" and "Submit Unknown Executables".

    The information Process Explorer displays in its main window is fully configurable. You can reorder columns by dragging them to their new position. To select which columns of data you want visible in each of the views and the status bar, choose "View --> Select Columns" or right-click on a column header and use "Select Columns" from the resulting context menu. A column selection editor opens that let's you pick the columns you want to enable, place a check mark on "Verified Signer" and "Virus Total" check boxes.

    Hi:

    There is no one set of "boilerplate", "cookbook" or standard steps.
    Each computer is unique.
    Each malware infection is unique.
    Proper diagnosis, cleanup and repair depends on the particular infection and the system that is infected.
    The process can be tedious and time-consuming, often requiring the use of multiple powerful tools, in the proper sequence.
    Many of them can actually damage the system if deployed improperly by untrained computer users.

    Bottom line:
    Malware cleanup is best done with *customized* support provided by trained individuals who know what tools to use and how to use them.

    There are a few folks with such expertise here at this forum (I am not one of them).
    And there are a number of reputable computer disinfection fora where trained malware removal experts provide free, custom assistance.

    Cheers,
