Hello,

For a few days now, Windows Defender has been alerting me to the presence of malicious software known as PUA:Win32/FusionCore and offers to remove it, which I have done. However, a new scan still shows the presence of this malware. Apparently, Windows Defender does not remove it.

I installed Malwarebytes, which does not detect PUA:Win32/FusionCore.

What should I do? Is this malware dangerous? How can I remove it?
Thank you

    Hello,

    These are probably isolated files in your Downloads folder.
    Just put them in quarantine.

    To check your computer for potential infections and get a general overview of the system:

    Follow the FRST tutorial by clicking on this blue link. ( take the time to read carefully - everything is well explained ).

    Download and run the FRST scan,
    Wait for the scan to finish, a message will indicate that the analysis is complete.

    Three FRST reports will be generated:
    • FRST.txt
    • Shortcut.
    • Additional.txt


    Send these 3 reports to the site https://pjjoint.malekal.com/ and in return, provide the 3 pjjoint links to the reports here in a new reply so we can review them.

    (The blue links lead to step-by-step explanatory tutorials, click on them for more precise instructions to follow).

      Good evening,

      Unfortunately, my antivirus is blocking the download of FRST64.exe because it considers it a PUP. If I force the download, Windows blocks the installation....

        Allow it on your antivirus.

      As I told you, it's probably a setup in your download folder.
      So there's no point in scanning everything.
      List the detected files and try to run FRST.
