![]() It was located in a Google Chrome extension folder. I checked the quarantine centre in Kaspersky and opened where the file was located. I had not remembered downloading a program for a very long time so something seemed off. I then investigated where I may have gotten this virus or malware from, as I am very careful with the websites I visit, and programs I download. I also then downloaded Malwarebytes and got the free trial and scanned, no threats detected there either. Ran another virus scan, and luckily, no threats. I restarted the PC and everything seemed normal. Kaspersky then did some system repair process to revert anything it thought the virus/malware may have damaged. ![]() ![]() So I force shut down my laptop by holding the power button, and when I turned it back on I had the same issue, Kaspersky popped up straight away, nothing was working again, but this time the threat removal worked. I also attempted to open some photos but nothing would open. I don't remember exactly what it said, but it was along the lines of "you may not have permission to open this". I opened the system tray in the bottom right to see if I could open my antivirus again and noticed that the windows security icon was red, and when I went to click on it, got an error message. So I attempted to shut down my PC but it was not allowing me to shut down when clicking to shut down. It had the option to remove the threat, and I had clicked to remove it, but it didn't work. Came back and I had an alert by my antivirus (Kaspersky), that I had a Trojan (Script). I left my laptop on while I was out for about an hour because I was in the middle of something. Not sure if this is a possible false alarm or anything but I would rather be safe than sorry, plus this could help the next person if they have a similar problem.
