Windows Security has identified the Malware as HackTool:Wim 32/Gendows. This has latched on to my email a****.net address which connects through Google gmail; I can receive mail but not send with or without attachments. It doesn’t appear to have wormed its way in to other parts of my system; I am bothered that it could do.
As you will gather I am not sure how this supposedly HIGH RISK, invasive malware works. it doesn’t appear to be a corruption on my drives verified by the problem is also present when sending mail from my mobile. However, just in case, all my work folders files etc are sited on an external drive. Programmes are located on an internal SSD. I have disconnected the external drive to mitigate risks in the hope it is not already infected.
I pondered what may seem obvious, that this issue should it be directed toward Google; worth a go although I suspect that would be a loop of enquiry achieving nothing?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
