Bitdefender fails to resolve Poweliks

Vikkor

Hi. A quick or deep scan finds only one issue: "Exploit.Poweliks.Reg.Gen". Attempts to resolve this issue fail. It seems to be an entry in the Registry: "HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2911322441-2931000502-3744895505-1000\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\APPLISTBACKUP\TOTALLISTOFLASTBACKEDUPFILES_120793793"

Two days ago, there was one entry. Now there are two, differing only in the number at the end: "_353835456".

Any help to remove these would be appreciated.

Hello.

You could try to remove the malware using the Bitdefender Poweliks Removal Tool:

You could also scan (and disinfect, if needed) your PC with Bitdefender Rescue Environment:
