Discovered Trojan.Floxif on my computer the other morning with a full malwarebytes scan and removed the initial infection which apparently piggybacked on a version of CCleaner.
It was found in the Ccsetup location.
I then proceeded to do a rootkit scan with malwarebytes. Nothing found.
Next I followed the steps seen here all the way through https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-floxif-ccleaner-trojan
Did a windows 10 “ reset/clean “ but then I felt it was better to start Completely over so..
I then factory restored the computer and erased all the drives completely with the windows 10 disc.
Did I probably do a lot of unnecessary stuff along the way? Yep. But I’ve never encountered malicious code such as this before and am not the most experienced with dealing with nasty malware.
Why did I edit my responses? To be honest I have a lot of work to do, and I understand people do the same. So, Since staff member johnb35 stated if I reinstalled windows I would be good, I proceeded with the factory disc complete reinstall option of windows 10 this morning to just put the final nail in the coffin.
