Hi Team,
I was infected with a virus & I went through extensive removal of it with a kind tech team on a different site.
- By the time we removed it, too much damage had been done to my OS and my SSD was already on its last leg.
- I bought new SSD + clean installed it from a usb. Everything is fast and working now.
Why I’m Here:
- I’m hoping an employee can give me peace of mind about a permission request from Agent.exe that seems suspicious (Battle.net/Agent.exe were infected last install).
What I was doing:
-
It occurred shortly after I finished installing WZ2 - but immediately after I had plugged in my Finalmouse Starlight via USB
-
The app asks to be granted the ability to make changes with admin privileges. I clicked the “more details” option because it seemed weird that there was an update on WZ2… right after finishing + it was oddly timed with the mouse I just connected.
The Request Reads: ( I’ replaced some numbers ):
" User Account Control
Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?
Verified publisher: Blizzard Entertainment, Inc.
File origin: Hard drive on this computer
Program location: " C:\ProgramData\Battle.net\Agent\Agent.8093\Agent.exe"
–loglevel=4 --adminport=(1234) – session=64149823918298293892
To continue, enter an admin user name and password."
(admin profile name)
DESKTOP-12345(my desktop)(admin profile) "
Does such a request normally include these?
Much love,
