I have come across something suspicious on my system that Norton Anti-Virus did not have an issue with, but I do.
One day in Processes on Task Manager I noticed "Matt.exe" which is my windows user name with a .exe at the end of it. I followed up on the process and found that it was located in "C:/Users/Matt". I went to the folder and noticed that this file did not exist there (even with hide files and folders off) and Matt.exe did not exist. Unfortunately I noticed iexplore.exe there and this seemed not right at all!
I also noticed that Windows kept asking me if I wanted to run iexplore.exe (only if I thought it was from a trusted publisher). I've declined.
The file has an author called Updatesofts.com and it seems to keep reinstalling iteself because the modified dates are always recent. I try and delete it and nothing happens!
Why isn't Norton picking up on it? Neither is Windows Defender!
Can someone please point me in the right direction towards a removal or what software would remove it. I'm now worried about data & all the personal information I've been entering in webforms.
Trust this to happen just as I switched from Firerfox to IE8....
