#Avast for mac 2017 found infected files now what full

However, this made me want to run a full scan with Avast (which is set to also search for hidden rootkits) just to be on the safe side, and then I discovered that my computer had likely been infected the day before after using the program "Unetbootin". No big issue there, I just started a clean new sandbox environment and internet explorer was fine. Then the next day, I was on internet explorer (in the sandbox environment using Sandboxie) and while reading about a hard to find operating system, I got a basic web attack telling me that my system had been compromised and I wasn't able to click out of anything on the browser without terminating all of my processes within my sandbox environment. I was also kind of in a hurry to getĪ Linux distro installed on a friends laptop, so I didn't have the extra time to read more in-depth I was thrilled because I had already tried "Rufus" and "Iso to usb" and they kept having burn errors. Without doing further research (my mistake), I let the program run and I was able to finally get a few different Iso's to correctly burn to my 14 gig usb drive.

I first looked up the process, only going to one site to read about what programs commonly use this process, and I read that it was usually a safe and trusted process to let run, and is commonly used in prgrams like 7zip for extracting the contents of archive packed files like zip, rar and Iso. However, when I ran UNetbootin, Voodooshield warmed me of letting the process "sevnz" run and the threat bar was close to the red area. I had previously downloaded and tried "Rufus" and "Iso to usb", which Voodoosheild gave no suspicious warnings before running.

I downloaded a legit free (and supposed to be safe program) program from the official site called "Unetbootin" from this site "for burning a Iso to a usb drive. RogueKiller also found two suspicious infected entries in the registry, which I removed. Right afterwards, I booted into safe mode and backed up all my important files.Īfter that I did various scans with Malwarebytes, different rootkit scanners but none of them found any infections except for possibly Gmer, which I can't understand just being a basic computer user.

I immediately hit the recommended delete button on all 291 infections, but avast just locked up and froze, showing the busy circle but never removing the infections. The avast scan froze at 30% on a full scan, after waiting for about 45 minutes, I cancelled the scan and 291 rootkit infections of "Sevnz.exe" were revealed! I suspect that there were way more infections of the rootkit not found yet. This happened on 4/11 of this year while doing a scan with Avast and MalwareBytes at the same time.
