Recently I had to remove WebNavigatorBrowser malware. I used Malwarebytes ( MS Safety Scanner quick scan did not remove it ) to remove it. However, I wonder how it got installed in the first place when user did not even have rights to install software on their own. User has a standard account with no admin rights.

Steps I took to trace how WebNavigatorBrowser might have got installed:

  1. I checked event viewer application & system logs did not find any clue. Filtered the logs the date it got installed no clue. Filtered event using event ID 11707, no clue.
  2. Nothing I found in Microsoft store download/installed history, no clue of WebNavigatorBrowser
  3. Checked extensions in Chrome & other browsers, no trace of WebNavigatorBrowser


What other tools or steps I could try to trace how it got installed?

This happened on Win 10 Prox64
