PUP.Optional.Installex / PUP.Optional.Installrex .part.exe's?

Files Detected: 3
C:\Users\Arc\AppData\Local\Temp\4SGYyiVq.exe.part (PUP.Optional.Installrex) -> No action taken.
C:\Users\Arc\AppData\Local\Temp\e8+izYDu.exe.part (PUP.Optional.Installex) -> No action taken.
C:\Users\Arc\AppData\Local\Temp\FIoSNhJU.exe.part (PUP.Optional.Installrex) -> No action taken.
 

I ran MalwareBytes and these three results came up. They were all created within about 30 minutes of each other on the 9th of this month. Nothing else appeared in the scan. What do these files mean?

 

Does it mean that I went to some website that downloaded three different parts of a piece of malware, combined them together and installed them? Or it attempted to do so and failed? Or what? I can upload the .exe.part files if it would be at all helpful.

 

I'm uncertain if these were an attempt at installing malware that failed or if I am actually infected but the only thing it could find were these remnants of the infection.

I tried to upload them, but it says 'You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file'. =/

 

I right clicked each of them and looked up their information.

 

Two are digitally signed by 'Shlomy Golani', the other is signed by 'Nadav Kashtan' / 'admin@cyber-mind.info'

 

I hope that helps.

Hi there,
my name is Marius and I will assist you with your malware related problems.

Before we move on, please read the following points carefully.

  • First, read my instructions completely. If there is anything that you do not understand kindly ask before proceeding.
  • Perform everything in the correct order. Sometimes one step requires the previous one.
  • If you have any problems while following my instructions, Stop there and tell me the exact nature of your problem.
  • Do not run any other scans without instruction or add/remove software unless I tell you to do so. This would change the output of our tools and could be confusing for me.
  • Post all logfiles as a reply rather than as an attachment unless I specifically ask you. If you can not post all logfiles in one reply, feel free to use more posts.
  • If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.
  • Stay with me. I will give you some advice about prevention after the cleanup process. Absence of symptoms does not always mean the computer is clean.
  • My first language is not english. So please do not use slang or idioms. It could be hard for me to read. Thanks for your understanding.
