no malware? thats nice.
do you have any recommendation on how I should proceed from here. how do I know my mui files are legit as kwartet mentioned and what do I do in the event that malwarebytes detects it again?
also what were those ini files and are they important?

just to be sure I restarted my pc to be sure I made a proper restart after using TFC. Will monitor and see if it comes back.

Thanks for your help guys.
