Windows 10: Virus? Bug? Nothing?

Hello!

Yesterday I wanted to check my PC for Viruses and Malware. After the scan an infected file was found, which is called Win32:Binder-Dl-[drp], but my antivirus couldn't move it to quarantine, it said because it is already deleted or the antivirus has no permission to move it to quarantine. This file hasn't done any notable harm, but I still don't get what is going on. Can someone explain this to me?

Desktop items open Libreoffice; windows bugged and flickering

My mother's PC had the most bizarre bug I've ever seen this morning.

PC specs: Windows 10 Home 64bit
Version: 1903 when problem occurred (1909 now)

What happened:

• all desktop items, including folders, opened in Libreoffice Writer; once open it displayed a blank document then began flickering as if it had bugged while scrolling
• opened Task Manager from the task bar, selecting the second tab opened the final tab, which began flickering like Libreoffice
• problems stopped after a restart, then occurred again after another restart; then stopped after the PC ran for a short time
• no error popups or BSODs
• she said Candycrush reported an error earlier but it didn't occur when I looked at it; she said it mentioned "something about the desktop"

Steps I've taken:

• did a quick virus scan then reboot scan with Windows Defender; no problems found
• sfc /scannow; no problems found
• installed update KB4537572 and upgraded system to 1909; updates appear to have been successful, no other updates available

At the moment the problem has disappeared, but since it reoccurred previously I'm not sure it hasn't been fixed.

I'm out of ideas. What else can I check and what other tests can I run? Based on the given information could anyone suggest what the problem might be?

 

virus questions

Smoothy...... step back and look at what you are posting. If the main machine has a bug, anything in that machine is subject to getting attacked by that bug. In general, VM's were designed to run isolated from the host to avoid the VM from having access to the host. Less scrutiny is taken the other direction host > guest.

But the simple answer is: If there is a virus on your machine, anything on it is subject to attack.

 

Clean the Virus

Hi,

Virus infection usually happens on a computer when it is exposed to an infected website or removable devices. For us to help you clean the malware on your device, we would need you to answer the following questions:

• Which build and version of Windows are you using?
• Did you encounter any error messages related to having a virus infection on your device?
• What are the troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, we suggest running any available antivirus software on your PC. It would be very helpful to us if you could also provide the result of the antivirus scan process.

Looking forward to your response.
