    Help identify the malware and check if it's removed completely


    I'm trying to make sure that my dad's laptop running Windows 10 Home is safe, He wanted to download a bunch of PDFs in one .rar file. When extracted, it contained several .jpg files and a Collection.lnk file. He clicked the .lnk file which executed the following:as logged by event viewer...HostApplication=C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -nologo -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command rename-item cover.jpg c.ps1;.\c.ps1...which as far as I can understand the above renamed one of the jpgs and executed its content:attrib +s +h Collection.lnk tar -xzvf cover6.jpg t

    Best way to remove problem Malware

    Hi There,

    I am trying to remove a bundle of Malware without success.

    There is a bundle of listed programs which I try to uninstall through the typical Control Panel effort, but they remain listed there:

    Buenosearch Toolbar
    MyPC Backup
    PC Performer
    Speed Test 127
    UnknownFile

    I was looking at this weblink which provides a 5 step process for Buenosearch alone:
    Remove Bueno Search (Removal Guide)

    Not sure how much certain guides can be trusted. One of the first things I read was to download Revo Uninstaller, and I've not heard of it so I'm not sure if it's trustworthy..........

    Windows Defender only partially removing malware

    Hi

    I have a Windows 10, 64bit platform.

    I noticed that my screen was momentarily going black when opening some applications (mainly Microsoft ones). One suggestion was to download the virus checker from Microsoft (MSERT) which I did and ran. It picked up the win32/Dartsmouth malware and partially
    removed. I then tried to follow the instructions for manual removal but it was not listed as an app so I hit a dead end.

    A day or so later I noticed the same problem so ran the virus checker again and got the same result. This is becoming a regular occurrence and it suggests that the malware has an adaption to reinstall itself. I downloaded AVG and Malwarebytes to see if
    either of those could pick up and completely remove the virus but neither identified the virus.

    Any suggestions on how to completely remove this malware?

    Thanks

    Malware removal


    Understood, OldMike. I will keep your suggestion in mind. I always appreciate suggestions from those who know more than I do. I think the Malware did do more than one scan, because I had to approve removal of what it found twice. I don't see Windows Defender on the list of programs. I think it was on there before they redid the software. Pluto TV also disappeared.
