Javaw.exe Virus?
« on: June 02, 2015, 12:50:20 AM »
Hello people of the interwebs!
I tried to search up my problem here, but I couldn't find it, so I decided to make a post about it, to see if any of you guys could help me with it.  I use a PC with Windows 7.
So basically this problem has been ongoing for 2-3 months now, and it all started when a hacked steam messenger messaged me a java file that might've contained a virus, I clicked on it and then boom. I immediately deleted the file and cleaned my cpu from it, and scanned it with malbytes.
However, over these past few months, at the startup, in the task manager, I always have a Javaw.exe running at 1.5-2 million memory. I usually just end the process and continue with my business.
I've tried to solve it many times, by reinstalling Java, scanning deeply and startup with avast, but to no avail. If you guys need more information feel free to ask, I'm not sure what to give since I am still in high school and naive to antivirus.
Thank you!

Just on a side note, Pondus, are you a bot?
Makes you wonder, doesn't it? But, no, he's not. He's an actual Human being, on a computer.

https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/2cbd7b140fbd217d12d8391799daa868e0b3f1ff991e3505babeab762849ebf0/analysis/1433206188/
Not a surprise to see that listed as being malware. I suspect someone will remove it along the way. Jar files shouldn't be auto-starting with Windows.

Edit:
FYI: The reason why javaw.exe is being detected rather then the AutoUpdater.jar file, is because Java runs the Jar File. Java can't tell if it's malicious or not. You see the same thing with games like Minecraft that use .JAR files. When you lunch minecraft, you're launching javaw.exe*32. That's why we recommend removing Java unless absolutely needed.

Yay! Good news it's fixed, I'll post the log just in case there's any other problems left, but thank you to everyone that helped me!
If the experts don't mind I have a few follow up questions:
1. What was actually wrong with my computer? Was it a virus?
2. What did you do to get rid of it?
3. Are you guys paid to do this, or do you volunteer all these hours into helping people?

You guys are all amazing, and were very nice and fast. Thank you!

Could you post the FRST fixlog please :)

The file was a generic downloader for adware programmes, now removed

Just deleted the relevant files and their associated registry entries

All done for free :)
