There is no option to perform a full scan or check all hard drives. I only have the option to click "scan" under "Scanner" and I will be posting a photo of that option here as well. This .txt file contains the results from selecting that option.

You can upload the file to VirusTotal

Anyway, it is just PUA, so you can add it to exclusions.

Hello, @redscarlet.

Welcome to the forum.

Everything looks clear to me. The .txt file is clean.

We'll let @flashh4 have a look, and give his opinion.

All the best.

@redscarlet .......... nothing in any of the logs ! What ever is was it wasn't malware !

Have a good one ! You can delete the programs & their reports !
