PC Infected by Trojan Virus Rootkit.Fileless.MTGen

Symptoms:-

1. With the default browser set to Internet Explorer Internet Shortcuts would start and then close down almost immediately. Changing the default browser to Microsoft Edge worked OK.

2. The Microphone did not work as the virus kept Muting the Microphone and setting the level to zero.

Manually resetting these would only last a few seconds before they were reset again.

A full scan by Microsoft Windows Defender or McAfee BT Virus Protect did not detect the virus but using the trial version of Malewarebytes succeeded in finding and then quarantining the Trojan Virus.
