Unknown program icon

[purplenova421]

Hello!
Recently I have noticed that there's strange program icon in icon bar, which bothers me.
I've checked Task Manager and didn't see any suspicious processes running.
I ran Malwarebytes and after scan there were found 7 threats, I deleted them but that didn't fix anything.

Here's picture of the icon: http/i.imgur.com/sgenV6i.png

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I am not familiar with this program, icon, and image search with google didn't give me much information. Try scanning your PC with Adwcleaner and post the logs. It will show if there is anything suspicious. After that, you can do a full scan with anti-virus software of your choice. Restart PC and check if the icon is still there.

By the way, what operating system are you running and any event that could have triggered the strange icon?

Be patient, the scan takes a while...

Is this icon in the main task bar, or the little abbreviated icon list by the clock?

I just scanned my PC with Adwcleaner and the scan showed that were 36 elements (?), I deleted all of them. Restarted PC, but icon is still there.
I forgot to mention that the behavior of this icon is strange as well. Only way you can interact with the icon is by right-clicking it and only option that is available is "Quit", and it's appearance is random, icon can show up for 5 minutes, disappear and then return after an hour. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Thanks.

Advanced system care is not much of a concern, that is a false positive. What about Mail(dot)Ru or Yontoo? Do you recognize these applications? If not, try to remove the folders manually.

In addition to that, use RKill to kill malicious applications and scan your PC with Hitman Pro. Let me know if this helps.

That's what I got with Roguekiller scan, and the icon is by the clock in the bottom right corner.

 

[JoshRoss]

Can you try booting into Windows "Safe mode with networking," do another scan with Adwcleaner and Malwarebytes and see if the issue persists?

 

[SinxarKnights]

You are unlikely to find anything with adware/malware cleaners but it usually doesn't hurt anything.

Can you give us a list of what you have installed? It appears to be an auto updater of sorts for something you installed.

 

[JoshRoss]

For a list should probably run a scan with JRT or Minitoolbox.

Go to control panel and check your installed programs. Uninstall anything you find suspicious and reboot. Btw, how did this issue crop up? Like, suddenly?

I didn't notice any suspicious programs there, and I never really paid attention to the icon bar near the clock until today, when I noticed it.

Can you try booting into Windows "Safe mode with networking," do another scan with Adwcleaner and Malwarebytes and see if the issue persists?

I used Rkill and there were 2 processes terminated, I can't find a log, but the names were KMService.exe and srvany.exe
I rebooted PC and the icon is gone for now.

Glad to hear the issue is sorted. If any of my solutions helped you out, feel free to mark them as a solution. On the other note, I was expecting RKill to do the job. It seemed like a sustained malware process that needed termination. Which is what you did! Sorry for the late response, had a jam-packed weekend.

Just a side note, watch out for that icon coming back. Because if a PC is infected once, it's really hard to "clean" it until you re-install.
Step up your PC's security and be careful while browsing

Good point. After RKill you can attempt to use JRT, Malwarebytes anti-rootkit, and Hitman Pro to assure that there are no further issues.
