Filed under:

"C:\WINDOWS\system32\Paint.exe" -autocheck

is added to the registry every time its removed. This is like global. All the lab PCs(more than a hundred), personal laptops have this file. I really have no expert help to turn to.. as jotti says this file is clean.

Here's the dropped file [removed]

It seems that we all had this game cheating tool on our PCs called "Garena Maphack". Everytime it was run it would drop paint.exe into the system dir.

Paint.exe is diguised as the real paint.exe from windows. Having the same icon and such.

The game cheat that started this huge mess can be obtained from [removed]

What do I do? any experts care to take apart this file?
