There has been only 2 new viruses now in over a decade of computing. The majority of infections today are Trojans. The system shows no signs of either of those viruses. Without forensic analysis there is no way to easily determine if something was taken or not. In order to do forensic analysis one would have needed to image the system exactly at the time of discovery. Running tools to detect and remove threats also obscures and in many cases removes forensic data needed for such discovery. I'm also not aware of anyone that does that type of work for free. Generally speaking it can cost well over a thousand dollars. We only provide detection and removal assistance not forensics of who/what/where/when/why/etc. If you're truly bothered you can do a CLEAN install of Windows. That won't tell you what "might" have happened but it will ensure the system is clean.

Thank you for the log. That found and removed some unwanted items. Let's do another AV scan and see what it finds. Please download and run the following Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2020 and save it to your Desktop. (Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool version 20.0.10.0 was released on November 9, 2021) Download: Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool https://devbuilds.s.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/KVRT/latest/full/KVRT.exe How to run a scan with Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2020 https://support.kaspersky.com/15674 How to run Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2020 in the advanced mode https://support.kaspersky.com/15680 How to restore a file removed during Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool 2020 scan https://support.kaspersky.com/15681 Select the Windows Key and R Key together, the "Run" box should open. Drag and Drop KVRT.exe into the Run Box. C:\Users\{your user name}\DESKTOP\KVRT.exe will now show in the run box. add -dontencrypt Note the space between KVRT.exe and -dontencrypt C:\Users\{your user name}\DESKTOP\KVRT.exe -dontencrypt should now show in the Run box. That addendum to the run command is very important, when the scan does eventually complete the resultant report is normally encrypted, with the extra command it is saved as a readable file. Reports are saved here C:\KVRT2020_Data\Reports and look similar to this report_20210123_113021.klr Right-click direct onto that report, select > open with > Notepad. Save that file and attach it to your reply. To start the scan select OK in the "Run" box. A EULA window will open, tick all confirmation boxes then select "Accept" In the new window select "Change Parameters" In the new window ensure all selection boxes are ticked, then select "OK" The scan should now start... When complete if entries are found there will be options, if "Cure" is offered leave as is. For any other options change to "Delete" then select "Continue" When complete, or if nothing was found select "Close" Attach the report information as previously instructed... Thank you

I would ignore the KB5034441 for now. That is an error due to Microsoft attempting to modify the Recovery Environment. Once they have that fixed the error should go away. Is there anything else?

@baudilio Please post back the FIXLOG.TXT file from the Farbar program Thanks
