    I was watching a live stream for diablo 3 and i was attacked by 2 forms of malware one being a trojan.

    Im using eset smart security 5 and did a smart scan immediately and the scan found no threats. I deleted the malware from quarantine, then booted into sysrescue 5 and did a smart scan and no threats were detected.

    So should i be worried? Is it still possible that my pc could still be infected?

    thx

    It sounds like Eset did its job, but i'm sure Eset staff will be by soon to assist you. You could try using some additional on-demand scanners such as Hitman Pro, and Malwarebytes to see if they find anything while you wait.

    Also check your running processes and see if anything is running that dont belong and did you run the system inspector of ESS.

    Run Hitman Pro to, and see if it finds anything. Malwarebytes is great, but its strength is in targeting a specific category of malware. Hitman Pro scans for a broad range of malware.

    Can you kill that process off from running and does it show where its directory is located.Also what cutting Edgetech said about Hitman Pro. Its sounds like ESET did most of its job but perhaps something slipped past and is pretty common for any 1 security app to single hand tackel all the nasties.After you get it solved, I would just suggest a layered defense and a good software Image program to recover.

    ESET may further assist you and may want to see the sysinspector log.

    Agreed. If you're still having issues, it would definitely help to Submit a Support Request with us and include a SysInspector Log in your request.
