Adobe Virus

[Sniper no Sniping]

So for a LONG time now, i have had what seems to be an unremovable virus on my computer. Luckily all it has been doing is making a little button saying i have an Adobe Reader update and make a pop-up once every few months. Now the pop-up appeared today, and i opened the task manager, found it's process, and opened it's file to attachment 2 below. It was found in a folder named "Flash" located C:/System32/Macromed/Flash.

My question is, what should i do with this file? Delete it? Is it corrupted? I did scan all the files with Malwarebytes and got nothing, Malwarebytes never detects this thing even when i downloaded it, and neither has any other program i used (For the record, the using of other programs was before i wiped my hardrive and got rid of this. The virus got back on my account most likely from some hardware my dad installed)

That's what you get from torrenting on Untrustworthy websites  (Kidding!)

If all that you know it's been doing is making a pop-up appear, it may just be an update, I've gotten the pop-up because I have Adobe software on my computer, so maybe it's just adobe updater - but still, if you don't trust it, uninstall all the Adobe software you may have on your computer and reinstall it.

In any case download MSE (Microsoft security essentials) and do a full scan, if anything pops up tell us.

It's not an update, i've clicked on that pop-up once, it gave me a virus. I would have taken a picture of the pop-up but my computer overheated and i didnt get the pop-up next time my computer restarted.

Well if you think it's a virus just delete it.

BootScan, ComboFix, try thoes. Other wise I need more information.

Never a good idea, loose files can fuck up the system, better to just scan it and remove it safely.

The thing is that it's not an error message, it's a virus, and the folders he talks about in that thread don't even EXIST in my folder as you can see in my attachment.

Got a picture of the pop-up and it's process in task manager. (Ignore the black screen behind it, accidently hit "Maximize" for it on task manager.)

Just because a rouge infection attacked you this way before doesn't mean it isn't real now. It's likely that you where infected by a rouge infection either from another software downloaded or as a cleaver pop up, either way It's very possible this is the real update.

You could of course uninstall all Adobe Products, and then re install them.

No use Injy, tried to tell him this before.
