I scan my pc with reimage and it Identify
C:\windows\system64\esif_uf.exe---BDS/Sinowal.CZ
C:\program files (x86) \intel\intel(r) dynamic platform and termal framework\ufx64\esif_uf.exe---BDS/Sinowal.CZ
These 2 files it detected it as malware, I used another software from avg and it I dentify more of the above files, and another unknow scrips file which got no digital signatures and can not be remove, but my pc got constant malware which can't be detected and Iam now convince that above files are malware.
but then again, malwarebytes found RiskWare.IFEOHIJACK in window NT. image file execution option\chrome.exe , in the same pc and remove it but still no changes, the problems and error continue, I belief esif_uf can be legitimate but in this case I belief it hosting malware.
