Fellow ESET forum members, 

 

Unfortunately I woke up this morning to find a detected trojan on my computer...ESET has quarantined the trojan and cleaned it twice but I am not sure if that is everything off my computer. I have my final exams next week and require my notes and essays written...which is worry me a little. The Object which is seen from the log files are: 

 

Operating memory >> obupdat.exe(5212)

 

With threat: 

 

Win32/Kryptik.CKQZ trojan 

 

With not much time on my hand, would anyone be able to tell me the severity for me to clean this at a later date or is there any methods of making sure that it's remove + removing it. 

 

Much appreciated for your support, 

Soshisone.

Is the malware detected in memory even after a computer restart?

Hello soshisone,

 

Win32/Kryptik.CKQZ is malware detected by our heuristic (behavior) detection, so it can be any threat. In situations like this, I would highly recommend referring to the our removal guide below, following each step closely.

Feel free to ask any additional questions that you may have.

 

Best,

David

To put this right, it's not a heuristic-based detection but a generic detection using smart DNA signatures. The statement that it can be virtually any malware is correct though.
