I did a full scan and also downloaded and ran MS Security Scanner, which found nothing. I also have Malwarebytes premium running full time and it did NOT pick it up. I have contacted them but they are ignoring me. This is a bad virus and can infect connected computers, usb dives

Accoding to what I have read - the malware registers itself as “Critical Process” and when the user tries to kill it, a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) is raised on the victim machine. Besides this peculiar tricks, the malware has a complete set of very powerful and dangerous capabilities, such as:

  • USB drive propagation, infecting all files and folders on USB drivers.
  • Evasive startup methods (fileless) to avoid AV detection.
  • Virtual machines and analysis box awareness to avoid detection.
  • Stealer and CryptoStealer module to steal cryptocurrency wallets and saved passwords.
  • Keylogger module
  • Backdoor and RDP access.

Any help would be appreciated.
