Infected Maybe? mrt.exe and mrtstub.exe - The OG FurFag ❤️ - Dec 11, 2015 I was going to the Steam folder when I noticed a random named folder. These files are inside. Any form of malware or? http://prntscr.com/9d5pkr * - .Cherry - Dec 11, 2015 Scan them looks like a virus! * - ty the cyber bully - Dec 11, 2015 upload it to malwr.com see if it connects to any hosts. * - The OG FurFag ❤️ - Dec 11, 2015 (Dec 11, 2015 07:34 PM)*Sinon Wrote: upload it to malwr.com see if it connects to any hosts. An attempt to scan both files results in a permission denied error. http://prntscr.com/9d5qiq * - Wired - Dec 11, 2015 From what you have posted, the location and the random popup of these files indicates a red flag. Since you don't have permission to access these files in that location, this also indicates a red flag. This is probably a piece of malicious software attempting to disguise itself as mrt.exe, which is part of Microsoft's malicious software removal tool, and I assume you haven't installed that software. Even if you have, it definitely would not appear in that location with a permission denied error. I will help remove any malicious files from your computer. Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop or another directory that you can remember. Note: You need to run the version (32/64 bit) compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
So that I can help you to the best of my abilities, please consider the following.
