Re: new notebook - spyware infestation

That folder is part of the Purity Scan infection...no legit Adobe Folder should be in system32.

The ? in the folder name indicates a different type of character code has been used to emulate the english a , and therefore try to hide itself as something legit.

It's why I want you to look at the folder's properties...to be sure.

Also have a peek inside, and let me know what's there, if anything.
