Today while I was on my gaming rig, Microsoft Security Essentials popped up warning me about a Rogue Win32/Winwebsec. I immediately removed it and restarted the computer in safe mode. I ran a full scan with Malwarebytes which did not find anything then a full scan with MSE, once again indicating a Rogue Win32/Winwebsec. Every time I rebooted the computer and ran MSE, it would indicate a the presence of the malware. When I searched for the location of the infestation, to my surprise MSE was pointing out to the where Malwarebytes was.
I removed Malwarebytes, rebooted the computer and ran another full scan with MSE this time not finding anything. Just to make sure I reinstalled Malwarebytes, did a scan and MSE indicated the Rogue Win32/Winwebsec again. I have now completely removed Malwarebytes from my computer.
I do not really understand where this is coming from. MSE and Malwarebytes have been cohabiting on the system since I put it together. Additionally, the laptop I am using now I also has both programs and no such phenomenon is happening.
Has anybody else encountered such an issue?
Thanks for any information or help.
