What kind of file is that?

When I was at my laptop (operating system: Windows) I saw a config file somewhere in the folder. When I opened this a script came up and it was called Shopper pro 3.

what is it and do I have anything to fear?

Velen thanks for your answers

St

There are quite a few config files on the PC and you don't open them either, because they are started within a program by an automated process and whether you have anything to worry about. We don't know either, because we don't know which program the config file belongs to

Regardless of that, you can use google for something like that and then you would have stumbled across this article:

Many Thanks.

could you briefly tell me what is in the article

St

You're welcome

Yes I could. But sorry, I don't want to. I (had) also had to acquire my knowledge by reading and everything and I also assume that from others that if they have a problem they are presented with a "suggested solution" and then read in the topic

Ra

Thanks. I have read it now. But unfortunately it doesn't say how to remove it

Ra

Windows defender then found a "program" which we then had cleaned up. Did that have something to do with it?

St

So just by "skimming" the article, I can already see that they give you tips on how to proceed against the part and possibly get it going

St

May be. No idea what the Defender found on you and advised you to remove it

Ra

Yes, I'm sorry, but this subject makes me really crazy. Because it says it's 53% dangerous and I've had it for 2 months and I'm really scared right now

Ra

Thanks

St

It is not possible to present a 100% solution for each individual here, as nobody but you knows what is installed on your PC and how the system behaves

If you want, then use the eset online scanner, for example, it might find something that the Defender overlooks

Ra

Okay thanks

Ra

Can I do this with another antivirus program?

St

Of course you can

If you download and install a paid, smart one

As the name suggests, the eset OnlineScanner is an online scanner that uses the eset engine via OnlineScan without installing anything

But as I said: you can also use any other virus scanner of your choice

I only show the solution with especially the product that I have trusted for over 15 years

Ra

Okay thank you very much
