Possible False Positives? Reboot.exe and Open Candy: PUPs

Recommended Posts

Hi:

 

I have not installed anything since my last scan with Malware AntiBytes

 

I find the folllowing four entries listed as PUPs in this morning scan:

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32\roboot.exe (PUP.Optional.PCPerformer.A) -> No action taken

 

C:\Documents and Settings\(User Name) \Application Data\OpenCandy\OpenCandy_E943DCC5F2984B908E1C481EE1D4C7BC\LatestDLMgr.exe (PUP.Optional.OpenCandy) -> No action taken.

 

C:\Documents and Settings\(User Name)\Application Data\OpenCandy (PUP.Optional.OpenCandy) -> No action taken.

C:\Documents and Settings\(User Name)\Application Data\OpenCandy\OpenCandy_E943DCC5F2984B908E1C481EE1D4C7BC\LatestDLMgr.exe (PUP.Optional.OpenCandy) -> No action taken.

 

I dont know what this reboot.exe is . Nor do I know what Open Cany program is and what it does.

 

My complete scan with Avira Antivirus doesnt show these.

 

Any idea what these are?

 

Is there  a way I can quarantine these files /folders until this is clarified?

 

I'm using the free version of Malwarebytes with latest update.

 

Thanks in advance:

Hi,

 

I do not see any OpenCandy references on your desktop though.

Malwarebytes detects the following folder: C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\OpenCandy

So if mbam has problems with removing, try to remove the OpenCandy folder manually from there.

If you can't find this OpenCandy folder (since by default the appdata\roaming directory is hidden in windows), please see here how to reveal them:

If you're still having problems to remove this OpenCandy folder, try to remove it from Windows safe mode: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7
