Got Hit by "Avanish" malware, missed by W10 security
In the past some folks came hard on me for pointing out the deadly security
ineffectiveness of W10. Here is a proof.
A malware by the name "Avinash" brought the speed of my PC to a crawl
WINDOWS SECURITY ran twice and declared the system sound safe.
I was not satisfied so I initiated my own Malware Software protection namely
HITMAN PRO, in minutes it detected and quarantined the Malware AVANISH
and its roots to include an EXE file : "Anachronism.ksee".
At this point I was happy , but noticed the Malware still showing up in my startup list ,
though I have disabled them ( Nine of the same name Avinash), still showing up in my task list , Hitman Pro announced they are disabled.
My questions for the guru that I wish can help are:
1. Is there a way to remove the malware name from the "startup list".
2. How to stop/eliminate the ,Malware (Avinash) in/from the process list.
3. How to search and delete any hidden traces even inactive
4. Did Anyone (MS included ) raise a flag about this Malware threat?
The following are the remnant names of the malware "Avinash":
Avinash
buaqIjva ( it could be a capital "I" or a lower case "L")
Anachronism .. and others that got rid by Hitman Pro .
I did Google "Avinash".. but there was no mention to any Malware, but revealed a
SW security researcher by the name "Avinash" .
