Super Suspicious Files

Question

Hello,

I was taking a look through my task manager and found a process called "sedsvc" I went to the location, and I brought me to C:\Program Files\rempl, I found a bunch of other things in that folder like disktoast.exe, sedlauncher.exe, sedsvc.exe, osrrb.exe, etc. I'm super suspicious about these files and I'm not sure if they're safe or not, if they're not, what do I do? Please respond ASAP, Thanks!

Hi,

It's part of rempl v2 (forced update hijackers) installed by KB4023057 and KB4295110 to force update any version of Windows 10 to 1803.

KB4023057 and KB4295110

create "Service name: sedsvc" "Display name: Windows Remediation Service" which runs "%ProgramFiles%\rempl\sedsvc.exe"

creates "\Microsoft\Windows\rempl\shell" task and runs "%ProgramFiles%\rempl\sedlauncher.exe" (which has replaced "%ProgramFiles%\rempl\rempl.exe") every 23 hours.

So, delete the %ProgramFiles%\rempl folder or use a script to disable it. One such script is the WUMT Wrapper Script. The latest version is always on Major Geeks.
