I was spelling out the location of this Virus and location. I lost my original cpu to this, bought a new one. It was infected by my Laptop that had the virus..It uses Blue Tooth. The key is the fake MS upload. It adds "Trusted Installer" to affected files and you can't delete because that is the name Microsoft uses in their programs. Would be glad to contact and speak about it. I have spent days on this.. This morning I lost my email program. It is a shame the Windows tech did not know about it or show an interest in getting the copy of the program and upgrading Windows Defender to detect it! Hard to reach someone that might do something.
