I'm reading all new comments so don't hesitate to post a question about the file. If I don't have the answer perhaps another user can help you.
So... Virustotal says 51 AVs did not detect the file, 95% of ppl remove it. Was it not detected because it is a malicious file that is good at hiding itself? Should I get rid of it? I Just got a detection of a similar file named ASC_SkipUac_(Insert My Acct User Here).exe ASC is for Advanced System Cleaner tool. Which I used once or twice, but then after running a malwarebytes scan it detecting 19 PUPs(Potentionaly Unwanted Programs) all from ASC... I think Driver Booster is what recommended me to ASC in the first place as well. I had to use Driver Booster to update my Radeon R9 390 drivers. It wasn't letting me update through the Adrenaline Launcher... For months... Until I installed Driver Booster and it finally worked... Anyways, I Quarantined all the files that were detected and uninstalled ASC and its other bloat that came with it. Since they seem to be affiliated with each other, DriverBooster and ASC would you recommend me to remove this file?/Remove DriverBooster all together?
Thanks in advance,
