If you really need to, you can download the Microsoft Safety Scanner and run a full scan with that, if at the end of the scan it is indicated your system is clear, then there is definitely no malware on your PC.
I need Special help with my PC (Trojan virus removal)
So I have a problem. I downloaded a program that need to write something to the registry. As Stupid as I was (Sorry for language) i turned Real-Time Protection off. And after i did allow access to the registry i turned it on immediatly. Result:
**Trojan:Win32/Vindor!pz**
But thats not everything. After running thousands apon thousands of antimalware programs i still found nothing. The so called "Trojan" is in quarantine. Im still not sure that its gone, because it did some registry entries with the message that their either removed or restored:
**regkeyvalue: hklm\software\policies\microsoft\windows defender\\DisableAntiSpyware**
**VirTool:Win32/DefenderTamperingRestore**
This worries me much.
Here are some more i got:
**Backdoor:MSIL/Quasar.GG!MTB**
- file: C:\Users\Ian\AppData\Roaming\WindowsRep\WindowsRun.exe
- regkey: HKCU@S-1-5-21-1565168234-1475627901-1114940154-1001\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RUN\WindowsRuntiime
- runkey: HKCU@S-1-5-21-1565168234-1475627901-1114940154-1001\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\RUN\WindowsRuntiime
Trojan:Win32/Vindor!pz
C:\Users\Ian\AppData\Local\Temp\boom.exe
Trojan:Win32/Vindor!pz
C:\Users\Ian\AppData\Local\Temp\test.exe
Backdoor:MSIL/Quasar.GG!MTB ]
**} x2**
C:\Users\Ian\AppData\Local\Temp\WindowsStartup.exe ]
Trojan:Win32/Vindor!pz ]
**]**
C:\Users\Ian\AppData\Local\Temp\boom.exe } x2
**]**
C:\Users\Ian\AppData\Local\Temp\test.exe ]
These are all the Thread warnings i got.
The moment I deleted the boom.exe and test.exe they where gone but it came with an error that these files cannot be removed.
I checked the autoruns and the processes being executed and still found nothing really(im not sure if there is something wrong in both because im no expert at knowing the windows files running in the background)
Please help me with this. IF you need the file (THE TROJAN) please ask me.
EDIT: here is the VirusTotal Scan for deeper info: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/f74852b1cabf3a967bbf7cfce1dc5560275fd170f84bd79061a3a6c043b1dcb9

1
Start Windows in Safe Mode.
Open File Explorer, then on the View menu at the top, temporarily turn on 'Hidden Items'.
Navigate to this folder: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Scans\History\Service
Delete the contents of that Service folder.
Navigate to this folder:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Quarantine
Delete the contents of that Quarantine folder.
Close File Explorer.
2
Restart Windows in normal mode.
Open Defender and select the option to perform an offline scan, your PC will restart to perform that scan.
Then check if that malware list in Defender is clear.
