Administrators Marcos 4,187 Posted February 28 Administrators Share Posted February 28 It's a vulnerable driver exploited by HermeticWiper (Win32/KillDisk.NCV, more info at https://www.welivesecurity.com/2022/02/24/hermeticwiper-new-data-wiping-malware-hits-ukraine/). The driver is detected as a potentially unsafe application, ie. not as malware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tchenkko 0 Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Thanks Marcos for your answer. So, it's not because i have that alert than i am infected ? Why the detection occurs only this morning ? I have uninstalled all the EaseUS applications. I don't know why the driver is not detect on my other computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,187 Posted February 28 Administrators Share Posted February 28 The detection was added on Feb 26. While the application is older, it has been just recently misused in the above mentioned Ukrainian attack to corrupt disk partitions.

Tchenkko 0 Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 so, if I removed these drivers, I can sleep easy for now about this detection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,187 Posted February 28 Administrators Share Posted February 28 You are safe if you use the application for legitimate reasons. Without the malware the drivers cannot be misused to harm your data on disks. Even if you got the above malware, it would have the drivers included and would not misuse those that you've had on the disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
