Windows security

Most of the system files are showing up as unsigned. I think a virus has infected all the system files.

Please run the ESET online scanner and post the detection report here.

Also, upload a system file, such as "C:\Windows\system32\SearchIndexer.exe" to Virustotal.com and post the analysis link here.

Hi Agamveer,

Please run the Farbar Scanner and share your logs for a detailed inspection of the startup items, services, and scheduled tasks, as well as check for malware.

1. Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool 64-bit (FRST64.exe)

https://downloads.malwarebytes.com/file/mbst-fr...

Note: If Microsoft Edge or Chrome mislabels the Farbar Scanner executable as PUA/malware, choose to keep it by tapping … in the bottom bar, choosing Keep, and then choosing Keep anyway in the dialog that appears.

See this screenshot: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/me.... It's a safe tool used in most antimalware forums.

2. If the OS language is non-English, rename FRST64.exe to FRST64English.exe.
3. Run the program. Don't check or uncheck any options. Click "Scan".
4. Add the two logs, FRST.txt and Addition.txt, to a Zip archive, upload them to your OneDrive and share the link here.
