ok about 2 weeks ago i ran a program on my computer. before i ran it, my virus scanner found no problems with it. but when i ran the program it acted very suspiciously. my firewall caught it trying to access the internet..then it said some other remote program was trying to connect to my computer. i blocked that request.
after that i virus scanned my computer and also did a windows defender scan. both found nothing. but when i submitted the file online to virustotal (scans a file with a bunch of virus scanners) it got a few virus hits.
i have not noticed any problems with my computer or any suspicious activity. however, i do have one question!!
***
when i ran the file the first time, THE FILE DISAPPEARED BY ITSELF AFTER I RAN IT. where did it go? did it delete itself?
***
i redownloaded the file again (but didn't run it) so that i could submit it to virustotal for testing. i also wanted to get the exact file name. i searched my entire computer (hidden + system folders) for that file name and it doesn't show up.
so again, when i ran it the first time and it disappeared, where did it go? is it possible it deleted itself?
thanks
