From what is happening in my laptop, I can be sure that it is some form of virus/malware. But none of the antiviruses have been able to detect it. What it does is it creates multiple icons of ‘windows updater’ in the system tray(see attached image.) The number of these icons keep increasing with time. But they disappear if I take the mouse pointer over them. Also I had my settings to show extension of files. But this setting keeps changing to hide.
Someone please help.
But none of the antiviruses have been able to detect ityou mean you have installed more then one?

when done the removal experts will be notified and help you
I don’t have more than one installed. But I tried more than one.
Anyways, I found a similar discussion in a topic and got it fixed. Thank you so much for your concern.
Do you still wish to remove the js malware or did you do that
I did that. My system is clean and clear. Thank you so much.
