So I've been having a problem with a slow computer for a while now . Spent days trying to figure it out. And finally found the source of the problem. But can't figure out how to stop it.
The path of the problem is
C:/Windows/CarbonBlack/store
Pretty much there are 10s of thousands of files being created creating gigibytes of data.
Theres a text file and a data file created in each folder. The txt file simply has text like
"\Device\HarddiskVolume1\Windows\System32\NaturalLanguage6.dll"
I know this is the issue because in safe mode I deleted over 2gb of these files and started my computer normal and it was faster than ever. But immediately there were 10s of thousands of files created and the computer started slowing down within a minute.
There's nothing I can figure out to delete CarbonBlack, it requires administrative permissions and I can't even locate it in the regedit to do a forced uninstall.
I have a symantec endpoint anti-virus that says it has been quarantining a "Webcoinminer" malware, but says it has been fixed. I downloaded malwarebytes and malwarebytes finds absolutely nothing.
Any thoughts on what I can do to stop this? Thanks
