Title: "Setup.exe" file reappears when it's detected and removed by behavior shield
Post by: REDACTED on February 16, 2018, 10:02:52 PM

Hi. I'm having a problem with malware it seems. My setup.exe file just doesn't want to go away. If I look at the file directory, it drops itself in my temp folder. Which is a common place for malware to go to. But, here's the kicker, Avast finds no other malware. So, I scan with Malwarebytes and I honestly thought I could trust it, but NOPE! It finds nothing either. What the Hell do I have here? :'(
