image.thumb.png.772caa3c41c4bcd552869370474f0fae.pngThis started showing up about a week ago. I tell my MS protection to remove it and all it does is scan and find it again. There used to be a program for this kind of thing but with my memory I don't remember what it was.

I downloaded the Malware free and all it found was a PUP which I quarantined! Nothing else shows up.

BPD - as you know PUP stands for  potentially unwanted programs.   I have them pop up occasionally - I use malwarebytes to quarantine or delete. I think some of the PUP notifications are meaningless but never had any problems after deleting them

@Budman I'm not sure what you mean when you say scan with Malware? I did that and it didn't see anything. Maybe I need to do a deep scan? I am puzzled by this!

@BigPapaDean

You will have to boot in safe mode and remove everything that points to it loading in your system startup etc. I would also try a virus remover sometimes it requires several virus removers to get it all out including some editing and removal.

 

Avast is pretty good 

SPYBOT Search and Destroy

Adware

Kaspersky

 

Good Luck

According to MS this is from a crack or patch file being used to activate a MS program.  Without knowing where Defender is pointing to we are just guessing what program is being affected.  Of course it just could be a false positive also.  I have MS's antivirus stuff turned off as there is, I feel, better free programs out there. 

Option 1:

Look in your control panel - Programs and Features and see if there is a AutoKMS listed.  If so uninstall it. But I don't know what it is trying to activate so something might not work after doing this.

Option 2:

Dump Windows Security and use a different AV solution.

Click save when the pop up boxes for Malwarebytes and trend micro show up.

Do the 14 day trial of Malwarebytes first:

Do Trend Micro online scan second:
