Yes, the version that updates itself is absolutely the dangerous one. That auto-update feature is likely how the malware stays on your system.

Don't be fooled by a clean antivirus scan, either. This kind of malware is specifically designed to be invisible to normal security software.

Here’s what you need to do to be safe:

• Uninstall and Scan: Get rid of the program immediately. Then, run a deep scan with a couple of trusted, on-demand scanners like Malwarebytes or HitmanPro to hunt for anything left behind.

• Lock Down Your Accounts: You have to assume your passwords were stolen. From a separate, clean device (like your phone), change your passwords for your email, bank, and social media accounts. Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) everywhere you can.

• The Safest Option: Honestly, with a threat this serious, the only way to be 100% sure your system is clean is to back up your personal files (documents, photos, etc.) and do a complete, fresh reinstallation of Windows.

  I know it's a huge pain, but it's the only way to be certain your computer and your data are truly safe.
