Hi!
My Windows Defender identified Zbot.gen!AP but couldn't remove it. (I also tried a few other free virus removers but they also said it required manual intervention.) Windows Defender tried to send a report on this, calling up Pahah.exe.
I looked in the Startup tab in Task Manager and found Pahah.exe: the Publisher field was blank, and I couldn't find the file on a full search of C drive, so I disabled it.
I ran Windows Defender again and removed Zbot.gen!AP. I ran it again, and some other free malware software I downloaded, and Zbot.gen!AP stayed deleted.
So . . . what is Pahah.exe on the Startup menu? Since I can't find it under that filename, what do I do? Is it a hidden file? If so, how do I find it?
Note that since disabling Pahah.exe Windows Defender seems to stop halfway through a quick scan.
I'm very alarmed about any spyware so please help!!!
Cheers!
