Exploit-Blacole.gq | Could our PC be infected (Still)
Hey
I'm looking for anyone who knows a bit more about viruses - specifically a Trojan identified as something like JS/Exploit-Blacole.gq
I was doing a standard virus scan yesterday and my software (Bt Netprotect +) picked up 1 threat, named above.
Some websearches suggested this may be a recent virus, of more than average threat to a PC - so I'm wondering how secure my PC is now? My main question is:
What is the likelyhood that some other elements slipped past my defences?
Since the infection time (not know specifically but thought to be within the past 2 days) I have run
1 x Full scan with Bt Netprotect + [Eliminated a single instance]
1 x Full scan with windows Defendor [Found no further threats]
Several x Quick scans with Bt Netprotect + at varying times [Found no further instances]
This would suggest that my PC is secure, but if the virus is recent and sophisitcated (as reports suggest) how likely is it that something was not detected?
Anyone who knows more about this virus might be able to tell me if it's likely the 1 detected file was all that was downloaded. I'm hoping that the answer is yes: initially you pickup the 1 file, which later goes on to download further malicious files - and that Bt Netprotect effectively killed the horse before it let the army in.
Any further information is appreciated
With Thanks
