Windows 10 Malware and Onedrivetemp

I am running Windows 10 and recently I keep getting a message that Defender has found malware and dealt with it.

When I look at the history in defender, it is claiming that this malware (BrowserModifier: Win32/Diplugem) is my Onedrivetemp folder, but gives this error message saying that it can't be removed;

Error code 0x80508023. The program could not find the malware and other potentially unwanted software on this computer.

The only way I can prevent this from repeatedly popping up is to stop my onedrive sync which I obviously don't want to do. I am experiencing this problem with both my laptop and tablet.

Please can someone advise on a fix?

 

Windows 10 Malware and Onedrivetemp

Hello

This is the file from the latest attempt.

file:C:\OneDriveTemp\S-1-5-21-576801799-2524441501-3711803402-1001\C773BD13D56329B2!101-C773BD13D56329B2!244351-C773BD13D56329B2!244357-060776fc63e0b5ae655918206ac7a7b4.temp

What is interesting is that I'm getting this on both of my personal devices, but not my work pc where my onedrive also syncs to, but runs different security software.

I will check to see if I can see anything in my onedrive that looks suspicious, but this seems to be a temp file?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
