[SOLVED] Problem with a virus, still somehow on my pc after deletement with malwarebytes

[SlavkoTomac]

Ive had a problem with msh.exe which is a bitcoin miner malware, so my malwarebytes detected it and deleted it, but still i have a problem, in registry editor it still shows a path to it even tho I have deleted it, i found it in registry editor because i have a problem where a blank pop up says explorer.EXE and i've searched on the internet, so it showed me to delete load to stop the popups from appearing, but same story, its still appearing.

On the positive side, reinstalling WIndows from a USB flash drive to about any SSD takes but 4-5 minutes these days...

Why go through all of that?

You can run all the AV you want, and still not be sure its all gone.

Full wipe and reinstall.

I detest Eset as well. And I agree what a colossal waste of time. Just format and reinstall and you’re done

This is a very busy Virus forum & ESET is a major part of the tools used. A lot of other forums use it as well,.

Some forms of malware are quite crafty, changing filenames, respawning multiple processes, auto-deletion after startup, etc., which makes for them being pretty hard to track down...

(If one can ever be truly sure you got everything...)

Deleting partitions and reinstalling from a good backup image taken a week prior however, is foolproof, and quite snappy if the image was stored to an SSD, and, still reasonably fast even from external hard drive compared to the countless hours spent trying 32 different malware removal tools, and, even then not being 100% sure..

As others have said, it takes more time and it's less reliable - following large numbers of people using a poor method just isn't a good idea.

Yeh, looks good. And I would still do fresh install rather than using Eset.
