BrowserModifier:Win32/Linkhortry

Question

I ran a full scan on my system (Windows 10 Pro), and I understand this malware .. I uninstalled the extensions from Chrome and Internet Explorer .. but still is present.

Windows Defender me from this path:

file:c:\programdata\quoteexs\ff.HP

file:c:\programdata\quoteexs\ff.NT

file:c:\programdata\quoteexs\snp.sc

folder:c:\programdata\quoteexs\

But in Windows Explorer I do not find anything much older that ..

(Excuse me for my bad English, but I'm Italian)
