  1. Hi, I’m concerned about a possible infection by an ““Interpol/FBI”” Ransom scam virus, and would very much appreciate your advice. 1. Thus far, I have NOT had any popups or offline notices whatsoever (as I’ve read are symptomatic), and am NOT locked out of my computer in any way – I’m just concerned; and have avoided restarting my PC until I get an All-Clear from you. I only encountered the scam letter once, for a few seconds, while surfing online with firefox. 2. I immediately disconnected the modem, shut the browser, and ultimately even uninstalled firefox after running CCleaner. [i’m using Win 8.1 on a 64bit system]. 3. Since then, I’ve run the following programs (in this order, I believe), with a “better safe than sorry” attitude: A. Bitdefender Total Security (my resident, set for the deepest scans possible) B. Bitdefender Programs: AntiCryptoWall; BootkitRemoval; Removal_Trojan_Ransom_IcePol; C. Malwarebytes D. RKill E. RogueKiller F. Junkware Removal Tool G. AdwCleaner 4. The only suspect findings were as follows: A. Malwarebytes detected: <key><path>HKU\S-1-5-21-1745969249-26260195-2738223308-1002\SOFTWARE\1ClickDownload</path><vendor>PUP.Optional.1ClickDownload.A</vendor><action>success</action><hash>e0cecd3ddbb088ae4a371465d430837d</hash></key> [THIS ITEM WAS QUARANTINED AND THEN DELETED!] B. RogueKiller detected: any number of IAT:Inl(Hook.IEAT) – all of them associated with chrome.exe. C. Junkware Removal Tool detected and deleted: any number of things that might seem to a novice such as myself to be innocuous (attached). D. AdwCleaner detected: several registry Keyes, pending to be deleted. Maybe I was lucky, and I’m being overcautious in avoiding a reboot; but I as I said – I’d rather be safe than sorry… I’d very much appreciate your assistance in ensuring I am safe to use my PC. My question is – are these legit Google Chrome Rootkits or is this a virus? Should they be kept? Should the registry items pending from the AdwCleaner scan be deleted too? Is there anything else I should do? The various logs are attached below. ** Thanks very much in advance!!! **
