    Virus?


    I know this seems a bit stupid. I was trying to update a game. I opened the torrent and it created a number of ad pop-ups on my screen. I went into Task Manager and shut them all down by ending the tasks. I then proceeded to download AVG antivirus and scanned it multiple times along with a deep scan but the shortcuts on my desktop were not restored. I had managed to restore Google Chrome after it had been slowed down by the virus. The issue is that the shortcuts on my desktop had been altered,their icons have been changed to blank pages and their file extensions have .moresa ADDED onto them. Example: Wig.pdf.moresa I have been trying some ways to restore my shortcuts. How do I fix this?

    :)

    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.

    Virus?

    knctr virus

    Follow the steps here.

    If it is not listed in the Control Panel, or it can't be removed there, move on to step 2. You might be able to skip the step with HitmanPro. (30 day free trial if needed)
