hey guys,
i have been very careful when installing apps, but few days ago i installed a program which was having asus company signature which was installed because adobe photoshop was saying that i don't latest version of graphic so looked at intel website and asus site and installed few tools from intel and asus website but nothing worked. later i found that photoshop is providing wrong information. so i uninstalled whatever i have downloaded but asus live update that was installed to check update was automatically installed when i am connected to network in next restart. i have tried revo uninstaller, total uninstaller , window 10 manager and windows own uninstaller but it comes again. and today i found that
"The ASUS Live Update is a software patching utility which comes preinstalled on most ASUS computers. It’s used to perform automatic updated on important computer software components, such as BIOS, UEFI, software drivers, and some other major applications. The hackers managed to replace the authentic ASUS Live Update software with several corrupted versions of their own, which imitated the digital signature of ASUS and fooled computers into downloading and installing them. The researchers who raised the alarm estimate that over a million computers were affected. Each of these corrupted auto-update software versions was targeting a specific and unknown pool of users, which were identified by their network adapters’ MAC addresses. Cybersecurity experts say that this type of MO points to a surgical espionage malware, which means it was specifically designed to spy on specific users.
now give me a possible solution of removing. it has done nothing yet. but i have fear of infection.
