[SOLVED] gaprotectpro.sys

[hiragasaitoxdd]

Hello, today i was checking my email and searching in the "spam" folder i found some emails of some dude that started emailing me since one month before, saying that he got me password, and that he had some other personal stuff and else. Looking at this, i made a malware search with the windows tool and found an troyan called gaprotectpro.sys. I searched on the internet but i couldn't find anything about it. So i was guessing if anyone here knows anything about it and if i should be worried. Either way it is no more into my pc.

Here a picture of the email:

Have you scanned and cleaned your system with an app like Malwarebytes? If not, you should immediately.

Don't click on anything in that message.

I used the Windows Safety Scanner Program (https://docs.microsoft.com/es-es/wi...WpNqk0vaxTv0josFHLIb902Jl8xUaVrm7NkCK3pNBvf4o) . And it detected the "gaprotectpro.sys" but i couldn't find any info about it somewhere else that in the microsoft official virus wikia. I will do an scan with malware bytes now too, and yeah im not clicking anything in there. I just want to know more about that troyan.

Thank you very much USAFRet. Do you know anything about the malware that i told about? anyway, your answer already helps a lot.

Never heard of that particular virus/trojan/malware.

But a scan with Malwarebytes should reveal any issues.
