Re: [MBZ] Korean malware UPDATE
Not a lot you can do with malware like this. If you don't have the skills to dig under the hood, you have to rely on tools like MalwareBytes, that's all. I do this for a living, and it would be no different than asking a doctor to diagnose someone over the phone. Without being there and having direct control, it's near impossible to make recommendations. Sorry.
