Hello Oliv,

Unless I'm miss reading your autorun attachment, that's msiserver, not msiexec.

Please also follow the instructions found here >> https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=194892.0

Hello Michael,
Yes you're right it's msiserver but it is the only entry that mentions msiexec.exe in the image path.
Thank you for your advice, i enclosed the report from MBAM & Farbar.
i see Farbar shows a few entries with a warning...

OK and thank you for sharing screenshot of Task Manager. Let's now generate new FRST.txt and Addition.txt but this time in FRST.exe under Whitelist section uncheck: Registry, Processes, Services, Internet and Drivers.

Hi,

I dug into the way how the MSIExec is executed and it have to be part of some task.

Your FIRST report shows "Task: {C7513494-BDD0-4427-8D9A-8C53723358EF} - \Thtise -> Pas de fichier <==== ATTENTION".
Could you check this record in the autoruns?

Regards,
PDI

Hello PDI, thanks for helping :)
Unfortunately i did not find any trace in Autoruns related to some "Thtise" or "8C53723358EF" entry...
maybe i can enclose the saved file from Autoruns if that helps.

I did find entries in regedit however
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache
under 2 different folders "Tasks", "Tree"
Not sure this helps... i have no idea what this file is
Thanks

Hi,

maybe you can try to create a support package (https://support.avast.com/en-eu/article/Submit-support-file) and post the ID here.

I'll look later on the result of it.

The content of the registry records can help too.

Regards,
PDI

msiserver.txt hasn't provides us with useful clues. Let's now try this.

  • Open Notepad (click Start button -> type notepad.exe -> press Enter)
  • Copy text from code block below and paste it into Notepad
Code: [Select]
cmd: bitsadmin /list /verbose
  • Go to File -> Save As
  • Make sure that  UTF-8 is selected as Encoding (left side of Save button)
  • Save it as fixlist.txt on Desktop
  • Open again FRST and click on button Fix
  • Wait until FRST finishes
  • fixlog.txt should be genereted and opened. Attach it your post and wait further instructions.
