Hi John, Sorry the other two e-mails I had for you bounced. Please see below C -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: urgent question Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2017 12:30:46 +0300 From: LIONESS <[email protected]> To: John P. Clizbe <[email protected]> CC: [email protected]
Dear John P. Clizbe, One of the programmes I use to scan my machines (Gridinsoft's Gridin Anti-Malware) yesterday reported for the first time (I just had updated the signature files) an adware infection of GnuPG: "A Part of Adware.FPL.ELEX.dd" It is not classified as real malware, but it was detected in 18 of the GnuPG files, which is somehow worrisome. I am still trying to explore the threat-level and how to clean that up without loosing the key-pairs. The only reference I found is: https://threatinfo.net/products/Glary%20Utilities Since that sole reference then leads again to Gridinsoft, I wonder if it is just a game to make you buy the GridinSofts programme full version, which not only allows for the detection (like the free version I use) but also the programmed removal of the detected threats. (BTW the cause-file they list "winach.exe" is not found on the machine, where the gnupg files are allegedly infected with that ADthreat.) I hoped an update by over-install of gnupg with the latest Gpg4win could help. But, though it worked to upgrade, the thread remains. Is there a way how to delete the gnupg folder and freshly install Gpg4win without loosing the keyring and key-pair files? What solution do you suggest? Your kind and timely response will be highly appreciated. Best Carola
