Scan result: Corrupted object

[Rogue]

Hello

 

Today my kids used my laptop to copy some colouring pages. When I used the  device later this day, I noticed Kaspersky prevented a few downloads. So the program did its job! I wanted to be 100% sure however, so I did a full scan and Kaspersky didn’t find any threats.

 

When I opened the detailed log I discovered something that worries me a little. In the log I can see 4 events that say ‘object corrupted’.

 

Is this something I should worry about?

 

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Kind regards

Welcome. Please post the name of the objects and path/location.

Hello, thanks for your reply. Is this enough information?

[richbuff]

Welcome. The first two items: Please do a Windows Disk Cleanup > Cleanup system files > Windows Update cleanup. This should delete the first two objects. 

The other two items: Those are on your factory restore partition, so you can ignore those. 

None of these are related to any downloads nor related to any web surfing.

Hello

 

I did the Windows Update cleanup, but the corrupted objects still remain. Is there something else I should do?

Hello

 

I can’t explain how this happened, but I did a second full scan after doing the Cleanup and now all the corrupted objects have disappeared. I did reboot the laptop and removed a program that had a lot of password-protected files.

 

So after the Cleanup, the reboot and the removal of that program my scan report is 100% clean. Thanks for the help, richbuff!

 

Just one more small question: How do I flag my question as ‘solved’?
