win32.malware-gen

Hi, Avast recently detected win32.malware-gen on my computer through a normal quick scan. It’s strange because I don’t normally download things very often, and I don’t visit very many sites that would be called “suspicious.” The file name was C:\Windows\sysprep32\WinLog.exe. Malwarebytes didn’t detect anything. Could somebody help me check if my computer is still infected? Thanks. I’ve also attached the OTL, I can also post the extras log if needed.

After this, we should be done here.
Malicious file has been deleted. Do you have any future detection?

While running the program, OSL froze. I had to restart because the whole computer became non-responsive for hours. I turned my computer back on, and nowI have a bunch of desktop.ini files on my desktop. Should I attempt to re-run the fix? It froze when it said “creating system restore point.”

No problem,just run CleanUp!. :wink:

Re-run OTL and click on CleanUp! button.

You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the cleanup process, choose Yes.
After the reboot all the tools we used should be gone.
Note: Some more recently created tools may not yet be removed by OTL. Feel free to manually delete any tools it leaves behind.


Clean your temporary & junk files to speed up performance.

Please download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop

[*]Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
[*]It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
[*]Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp
files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute
or two. Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
[*]Once it’s finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.


That should be it. :wink:

Thank you for your help! To get rid of the desktop.ini files, do i just hide hidden files? For some reason after the OSL froze, hidden files are showing.

When OTL go to CleanUp process it will be back those settings to defaults. :wink:
