Well, I have finally restored my PC to the previous state (mostly). I don’t really care about background tasks like Java updates or Adobe stuff so I haven’t reinstalled them. The rest required me to repair using installers, reinstall over existing installations or uninstall and reinstall apps. Some required me to manually re-add startup entries, especially “scheduled tasks” and some to enter their settings, disable autostart, accept, re-enable autostart, accept. I also had to download over 1GB of installers. On the bright side, thanks to logging I knew exactly which apps were damaged. 3 hours of work that could’ve been avoided…
Especially that those files have absolutely nothing in common. Really, do you want me to send all these files to that address?
Files got removed without my approval, as you said, in run time. That wasn’t on-demand scanning.
There has been a VPS update today not long ago, so I hope I won’t have such surprises anymore, ever. I have changed settings to Ask and re-enabled reputation services for now. I also have to do the same on my second PC.
Thank your for your time and explanations, it seems like software is alive and making its own decisions, huh
