A new virus I need help removing!
« on: April 17, 2020, 12:41:17 PM »
So Avast has kept notifying me that this app "MsSense.exe" is trying to access my chrome passwords, which I have over 100+. I tried to delete it but I have invalid permissions and I tried changing the permissions of me. It still blocks me from deleting the file. The file is stored inside a folder called "Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection" yet the thing is that I already have a folder above called "Windows Defender" I think malware injected itself inside "MsSense.exe" and runs every often or so. When I directly scan it, Avast says it is safe and using virustotal, all the antiviruses said it was safe. Please help and any would be greatly appreciated!

Upload  MsSense.exe  to www.virustotal.com

using VirusTotal "details" tab will give you lots of file info, first seen, who made it, digitally signed .....
