Thats the actual file from an infected PC, different to the attachment. The email attatchment is a downloader Id guess
Nothing will be in the sent items... but you will have a random jibberish file in C:\windows folder and you'll be getting bounced emails Most AV still cant detect the actual virus once infected. The email attachment seems to now be detected though.
Still waiting on Eset to pick up on the exe (https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/661385e050dcb4791856608819266a989061e026941182c08f8eb63f39e8448a/analysis/)
But also noticed in services there was a new "Google update service" pointing to the exe.

Malwarebytes detected & removed that "Google update service" . I initially though it that part may have been a false positive . Good to get some more info.
Not good when the freeware is on the ball-detecting & removing from this morning, payware still not detecting .
Edit: PC's still infected , after running 5 different AV, malware programs I just tried Sophos free scanner, it found more exe's and reg entries all the others missed. Makes me wonder if its just re-infecting itself .
I'll have to wait till Thurs when all the virus definitions get updated
I'm no expert, but my firm opinion is that once a PC is infected it can't reliably be cleaned. Nuke it and (if you have one) restore a backup. It really isn't worth the risk.
