Hi, Sorry for the delay in response, I have posted the log below. I also made a post on the Malwarebytes forum and they seem to think its a FP.

[essexboy]

gccheck.exe is part of Google Chrome Pre-Install and developed by Google Inc however, why is it in an Adobe folder, especially as you do not have chrome installed ?  There is nothing to stop malware using a legitimate file name for their own purposes  and stuffing it in a folder for another programme

[REDACTED]

Am I infected then?  What should I do?

Am I infected then?  What should I do?

Upload and test the file at www.virustotal.com    if tested before, click rescan
Post link to scan result here

[REDACTED]

I dont have the file anymore, Malwarebytes quarantined and deleted it. I'm kinda worried now though, what should I do

[Pondus]

If it is in malwarebytes quarantine you can restore it and then upload to virustotal ..... when done you can let MBAM quarantine it again

  I'm kinda worried now though, what should I do 

Files quarantined/deleted are no longer a threat

[Pondus]

This was scanned 23 hours ago .... may not be same file as yours, so you should upload your file

Yes im sure that's the same one, I remember the same comment when I uploaded it a few days ago. I don't have the file however because I deleted it from quarantine. Am I safe? Is there anything else I need to do?

[essexboy]

The logs looked good and I deleted the remnants of it, are you experiencing any problems

[REDACTED]

No, I'm not experiencing any problems at all

[essexboy]

Subject to no further problems   

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems 

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean  :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset  System Restore points:

Download and run Delfix




Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
