Hi guys,
At the moment using AVG 9 free with latest definintions as my antivirus. I found winupdate.exe on me PC yesterday. Problem is that the only reason I caught it was that the program itself crashed (winupdate has called an illegal operation etc etc)
It was residing in my temp folder.
I know the file is linked to various worms out there, so before removing the file manually I did a full scan with AVG, showing that my system was clean (obviously wrong)
I then updated Malwarebytes and ran a full scan finding 4 infected files. I have since removed the virus (infected files, registry entries etc) but my question is why does AVG not report any errors, especially when it has its own malware/spyware process running?
Am I better running some other package or could this error be related to the virus itself?
Thanks
