As the title says. I tried malwarebytes pro and it started blocking a bunch of websites attempting to connect to my PC. Malwarebytes blocked them and another user on reddit said it was scareware. Now after that I got very suspicious of my computer for some reason. Adwcleaner, malwarebytes and windows defender didn’t find anything though, never have. Now three days ago I used cmd to get rid of some razer files that were stubborn and it worked. I didn’t use my computer yesterday and today when I booted it up I got a controlled folder access notification that powershell.exe was blocked trying to acces %system%configsystemprofile and %system%CatRoot just before. I dove into my powershell event log and noticed that from about a month ago the event viewer is full of this, happening 30 times within 2 minutes after which it stops. All of them being the same hostapplication entry but just state changes or something like: provider “alias” (or environment, filesystem, variable, function, registry) is started. Before a month ago it was the same thing but the hostApplication would look like this: Powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Restricted -Command Write-Host ‘Final result: 1’; It was like that for 2,5 years, up untill a month ago. Sorry for the text, but should I be worried? submitted by /u/Background-Soupp |
