I ran a virus scan on my computer with Malwarebytes and it came back with 4 threats detected.
Two of them were Rootkit.Fileless.MTGen. One was a registry value and the other was a registry key.
The other two were Trojan.Fileless.MTGen. One was a registry value and the other was a file.
I removed them with the Malwarebytes and restarted my computer. After coming back on I ran the test again and it was still there. I then disconnected my ethernet cable and wifi and turned off system restore. After shutting that off I ran the malware test again and it was still there. Removed them with malwarebytes and restarted my computer. After coming back on I ran another test and they were gone.
Was that all I needed to do to completely rid my computer of the virus? Do I need to worry about looking for any hidden files, if so, what? I'm not 100% sure when the computer got the virus so was any of my information compromised?
Thanks for any replies!
