  1. Trojan located to the recovery partition


    Hello,I ran a scan yesterday and I got a message from Kaspersky Plus that there is a Trojan in my recovery folder see the print screen below. Kaspersky was not able to disinfect the object. I tried to access to the folder and without success. I also scan the system but there is no error. My laptop is on windows 11 home x64 Build 26100. Any idea to get rid of this malware?

    :)

    Windows has the wrong location for the recovery partition

    There are 4 partitions on the disk. After the EFI system partition the is a tiny Microsoft System Reserved (MSR) partition that will not show up in disk management. It will if you list partition in diskpart:

  3. Failure to apply update due to recovery partition issue?

    My suggestion would be to:

    1) Disable WinRE

    2) Delete partitions 4 and 5.

    3) Extend the C drive to utilize the unallocated space (minus 750 MB)

    4) Create a Recovery partition in that 750 MB unallocated space.

    Step 1:

    *******

    To disable WinRE, run:

    • reagentc /disable

    Next, check if winre.wim has been moved to the c:\windows\system32\Recovery folder. To do so, run:

    • dir c:\windows\system32\Recovery /a

    Please post the outputs.

    Trojan located to the recovery partition

    Defender locates trojan win32/Dynamer!ac but cant remove it

    Le Boule,

    Thank you for your reply. I have tried most of the other suggestions in the above mentioned link, non of them have located a trojan.

    I regularly use malware bytes in addition to defender. I have set MB to scan the recovery partition and it does not locate the trojan.

    It also seems odd that defender is just now finding an issue on the D partition, I have not made any changes to that part of disk and it seems a odd place for a new threat to locate.

    It feels like a false detection. Can you share links to the false detection info you mentioned?

    Thanks again for your assistance, take care.
