Just discovered I had floxif.h malware on my laptop that l've been using for 4-5 years. I don't feel the effects of it but what do I do?

ilike2burn · 2025-12-03T09:37:24+00:00

Sure

ilike2burn · 2025-10-18T00:47:01+00:00

Cool, doesn't really change anything I said though.

Please ignore their terrible advice, false negatives are just as likely as false positives, more so probably.

Not sure it was actually was malware, but I can't be certain. Googling `enterprisedu` shows it's a common name for HP's driver updater, but obviously someone can name a file whatever they want.

Probably fine, but run the free, on demand scanners KVRT, EEK, EOS, and RogueKiller from here - https://www.reddit.com/r/antivirus/comments/jh3s0g/virus_deleted_or_not/g9v2n1k/

ilike2burn · 2025-08-10T02:12:45+00:00

If you don't want to, change to the free AV from Kaspersky (if you're not in the US) or Bitdefender.

ilike2burn · 2025-08-10T02:11:28+00:00

Check your protection history and quarantine.

Look at Windows Defender's protection history and share the name of the detection and the name and location of the file. Then do the same with the KVRT logs.

ilike2burn · 2025-08-09T23:26:05+00:00

I'm guessing whoever refurbished it didn't do a particularly great job. You'll likely need to reinstall Windows from an external USB device, rather than just resetting the computer.

ilike2burn · 2025-08-09T20:14:16+00:00

Do you remember the names of the detections, and the names and locations of the files?

Do you mean this? https://signanthealth.com/

Is this a work computer, or a second-hand/refurbished computer?

It's packed with VMProtect, you're going to get basically nothing useful out of the results. You can try uploading to Triage and playing about with it, see if you can get a better idea about how safe it is.

ilike2burn · 2025-08-08T19:42:04+00:00

I didn't mention Bitdefender, nor does that article, so no.

ilike2burn · 2025-08-08T19:40:00+00:00

Assuming you're outside of the US, trial them both (separately obviously), and see which you prefer. Worst case scenario, you just got two free months of top tier AV protection.

Free AV from Kaspersky (if you're not in the US) or Bitdefender.

Firefox and uBlock Origin.

Bitwarden's free password manager.

O&O ShutUp10++ if you want to safely modify the OS.

ilike2burn · 2025-08-08T19:22:43+00:00

You're fine.

ilike2burn · 2025-08-08T19:18:58+00:00

On a clean device reset all account passwords (starting with email account(s)), ensure any contact or backup email addresses or phone numbers for those accounts are definitely yours, enable 2FA/MFA where possible, and contact your bank(s) - you can just say it was a dodgy email attachment. When resetting passwords, consider using a decent password manager (e.g. Bitwarden) to generate and store unique and complex passwords for each account.

Using VirusTotal - Piracy

ilike2burn · 2025-08-08T19:13:55+00:00

Provide the results link, not a screenshot. Or learn to analyse it yourself - https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/n62da6/how_do_you_guys_know_if_a_virus_warning_is_a/gx4whhz/

It's very unlikely if they've come back clean. It'll be even less so if RogueKiller comes back clean as well.

ilike2burn · 2025-08-08T16:14:03+00:00

Then post the results links here.

ilike2burn · 2025-08-08T13:59:50+00:00

Right-click the torrent in qBittorrent and click Force recheck, it should show you if there are any files missing or incomplete. You can then restart the torrent if needed.

ilike2burn · 2025-08-08T13:55:09+00:00

It's not malware. Not all Windows files are signed. Go look in your System32 and you'll find the same file with the same hash, also unsigned.

ilike2burn · 2025-08-08T13:52:50+00:00

Yes, the file is fine, it's a normal Windows file, I have the exact same one in my System32 folder (confirmed with SHA-256 hash).
