Hello,
At first, I don't solve the problem. I just reinstall PC and waiting for restore issue by antyvirus. But affter i reinstall i have acces to see how it modify me Laptop, and I had searching for some in deep files, Top attacker to system files is this little romtoolhelper what Microsoft has create, "DNPInst.exe" if this file run in Windows, is hacked.
But first must write really long 8-16 bits procedure.
It's a modyfied Trojan by Lynux Ubuntum, that's why it easy sneak into 8-16 bits or more, the first file what you can find is on #/(.img) useing virtual volume disk (look's like DaemonTools.exe) or rar or zip about 0,899 bits or 1,233 bits, it looks like one of the old ("Her"ur"er"ur" 2006or2007 *****/.exe or .ini .log .Dll .ill .h .hh .D .Dd .mui .Img .image .Cfg... .sys .api .apk (easy can hide in android device and send be bluetooth or wi-fi even "sms" by command on 100-25000 meters around in circle) TrustedInstaller it's first killed registry then he can use read and do tasks in .xml, most... .jpg .mp3 loves registry change useing sha2, sha254, verisign, cert_32,...
It can make it's own language (and use many suffix) . Infected file include affter 1 month ago, then it grows to 6.8 gigabytes \Windows\WinSxS, \Windows\Sys64\ at box's on more files in usser's folder's, way for it's {%Temp%\...... Delete all in folder searches} for best way to infect and spread. Next hiden container %systemroot%\INS\ wher hide gsrvctr.h or rasctrnm.h (suffix When file grow to 7 giga with to many boxes off ton's of viruses what spread in pc and still making same files
but in another name in Windovs\system32\ms_nsxbm.exe \ms_.******.exe ns_******.exe \as_ \ap_ useing to specify C:/....Windows\mrt.exe, netlog.exe (later suffix .ini .mui .log) \twain_32.exe,...(or twan) in driver folder \Windows\Instal Files\ and ther were about 254 folders or more. Amd-**** folders KB****** folder and so on. Can't remember, i writing this topic on android device infected to with this modular malware (it's attacking Most Win10/8/7/Vista android device is in 100-25000m "roundsman",I don't know why
100-25000m "I found it in corrupted .txt. later. cfg later .mui suffix but i think it's a safe distance to be hidden for criminals, if he want's to command by mobile device on distance).
Next useing manifest.mui to spread by Fonts usually 0000.folder 4090.foder where is sk-SK, en-EG or ita-label and make .ini or.dll files with better and faster command prompts. Uff for now it is all.
Don't know more, after when I wanted trying uinstall drivers of unsupported facilities, or 3 virtual volume images disk as D:/ (or in Win7) X:\\%boot%/ [X:// bootmgr\… or Zen:///Progma~1\dllhost.dll /LM|/S|~%systemroot%\Temp\…
Or Error window "You don't have permission to command" …
