You should really understand what quarantining malware actually is and does.
All it does it move the file from it's original location, changes the permissions on it, potentially renames it also and...
It's probably nothing serious. The reports return very little. I'm guessing the VT scans also returned the same. It's very unlikely you've come across a new strain of malware (which has remained...
It could be analysis of the first upload of this particular file. You do find that websites like the one you are using revert back to prior reports instead of creating a new one each and every time...
You don't need to reset Windows for something like this, not until you've exhausted all your options. That's like buying a new car when you've got a dent in it that can be sorted in many different...
I wouldn't say expert because to be an expert in understanding malware is the sort of path in life that most people will never traverse because simply put it's damn hard to understand. You're talking...
The processes you mention are normally safe system processes. But then again if you've already been compromised the chances are the malware has migrated to a process with the highest priveleges and...
You can reset the password by using a recovery tool like Lazesoft Password Recovery. You'll need a computer and a spare USB stick laying around. Then you can just boot into the software and reset the...
If you use a password manager you would have a backup ready whenever you needed it. Relying solely on your browser to keep all this information ready and available all of the time even with regular...
The sandbox is referring to a timestamp it believes is suspicious. Timestamps for compiled executables are found in the PE (portable executable) header. This timestamp can then be used to determine...
This guide has lots of information on this particular threat.

Much of the removal process is simply cleaning up after the...
That's not true. AutoRun simply is a script that runs a designated file upon mounting of a particular media. Malware doesn't need AutoRun to run. A USB stick can be manipulated into acting like a HID...
When you receive anything that suggests something that involves an IT administrator/organization it's usually down to a change being made at the system level. This could be anything from installing...
Any file can contain malware.
There's a bit of confusion around files because of how Windows has helped to define what one is. Windows defines a file by it's extension. A file, with an extension...
You'll find that it is in most browsers nowadays. If you don't think it is then it's likely a bug or the browser installation (in some way) has become corrupted. Check the bug tracker and/or contact...
I know it might be counter to what the resolution you are seeking but there is a really good reason why software developers, especially developers who make software that has privacy and security...
Well it should be recoverable if it has been quarantined. Just recover the file. Judging by the screenshot though this isn't possible. Which is odd considering it's essentially telling you that you...
"Malware.Generic" is a catch-all term for threats that have not been individually identified in the wild. So basically it's anything that may act like malware but which perhaps isn't known or maybe...
Just having a look through all the technical discussions across the web it seems like it would be best if you are going to dual boot just to encrypt the system partition. Just use the 'in-house'...
PUP or potentially unwanted programs are not usually a significant threat. They are thrown into this category so they don't fall into the bigger and more scary category of malware. You could...
If you really want help you have to be willing to do whatever is requested. Or alternatively research ways in which you can test to see if your computer has been infected. I provided you with a way...
I wouldn't dual boot and then implement drive encryption as this can interfere with the boot process. You should ideally have one system on one drive because then you can deal with the entire drive...
If there's a network location assigned to the folder then, yes, it is being shared. I would be asking myself why it is being shared in the first place, and like you said yourself, who is it being...
I suspect it is something you've found that is pirated, it nearly always is when encounters situations like this. Like I said genuine software doesn't usually come with these issues because the...
Networking is pretty much the foundations of any server administration path you take. You could say it's the foundation for any administration path. Just start with the basics and work your way up....
As previously stated - yes. Windows Security failed to deal with whatever it deemed to be malware. This is pretty common, especially among genuine encounters with sophisicated malware. Most well...
