Hey. Recently I recieved a keymaker.exe file. It was identified by Avast! as a Rootkit-Gen attempting to infect explore.exe. I've tracked the virus around my system and deleted it using Avast since MBAm my main scanner couldn't detect it. I sent the file in and all is well now. Except when I try to restore the file to investigate it a little further it says "file in use at Skype." I've scanned it using both my AV and MBAM and it isn't detecting anything. On top of this, Skype will periodically crash now. I've not seen any other indication it's infected something succesfully. Everything boots normally, just as quickly as normal. Any ideas?
