    NESHTA.A VIRUS REMOVED BUT .EXE NOT WORKING

    Hi Khaled,

    It is possible that you .exe is not working due to corrupted system files or account. To assist you better, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Does this happen with a specific application or with all of your application?
    • Have you tried creating a new admin account to check if the issue also with new account or only with the current account?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you follow the steps in this article on how
    to create a new admin account.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

  4. Virus? Appdata/Local "setuprandom_number.exe" appears

    Suspected infection in AppData\Roaming\.exe

    Original title: AppData\Roaming\.exe

    Can someone tell me what this is?

    • C:\Users\knenina\AppData\Roaming\522001c91a0ba0c96d004d78\522001c91a0ba0c96d004d78.exe

    My Antivirus said Application.Downloader.AAB (Suspected infection) but then it also says

    "Cannot open file" error occurred: The "Cannot open file" error message means that the scanner was unable to open a file and that this file was not scanned. You can normally ignore this error message as there are many reasons for this message
    that do not imply a security threat, including:

    • The file was a system file. System files are protected by the operation system by design. You can ignore this message in this case.
    • You do not have permission to read the file. To scan the file, log in with a user account with sufficient permissions (for example the computer's administrator account) and rescan.
    • The file was in use by an application when the scan was performed. To scan this file, close all applications and rescan.
    Said I have to manually remove i'm unsure how to do that exactly.

    Or is this a valid file? This just appeared today.
