New_Style_xd 69 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 The image below informs that 4 threats were detected and I put it to delete and was informed that it was not possible as the image informs below. I was left with doubts. 1 - Am I infected even using the eset product? 2 - Why couldn't you remove? 3 - Is my pc safe? 4 - Do I need to use another program to check if my pc is infected since eset hasn't removed it? 5 - Since eset was unable to remove could it inform me another antivirus to do this removal job?

Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted August 24, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 24, 2021 Maybe the AIMP installer / updater is currently running and therefore cannot be cleaned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to know exactly what it says as I only know English but you could try running the scan as an administrator and possibly in safe mode if that works. Not sure if they might be PUA @Marcosmight be able to confirm this. PUA is potentially unwanted applications and it's down to the user to decide if the risks are worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the Eset Scan log shows, the files couldn't be deleted because Windows has a lock on those files. One possible source of Windows locking is System Restore. You could temporarily disable it. Note: you will lose your existing restore points when you do this. Then run another Eset scan. To save time, I would just scan the directories where the malware resides. Then re-enable System Restore and create a new restore point. Alternatively, you could just manually delete the detected files which I recommend. Also, my best guess here is the detected .exe files are currently not running. If that was the case, Eset should have detected them at start up time. Where did you download AIMP from? If done from Microsoft Store, the installer should be free of malware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AIMP Download from here: https://www.aimp.ru/?do=download&os=windows is detected by Eset as a PUA. I guess you ignored that alert. Referring to Eset Scan log you posted are the AIMP detections PUA detections? Appears that is the case. Refer to this Eset KB article: https://support.eset.com/en/kb117-my-eset-product-notified-me-of-a-detectionwhat-should-i-do . Scroll down to the "Special Cases" section. Note the following: Quote Potentially unwanted applications The detection might be classified by your ESET product as a potentially unwanted application (what is a potentially unwanted application?). When you installed ESET you were given the option to enable/disable the detection of potentially unwanted applications. Next. refer to this article: https://support.eset.com/en/kb2629-what-is-a-potentially-unwanted-application-or-potentially-unwanted-content . It appears when you responded to the initial Eset PUA alert, you didn't select the "exclude from detection" option. Therefore, Eset will detect the PUA on every off-line scan.
