So I just stupidly downloaded an infected file and got several viruses and bits of malware, and was quickly able to rid myself of most of it using malwarebytes and avg which were already on my system. However, now when I start up my computer, I get a black window from a program called taskeng.exe. I looked it up and found that this can indeed be a virus, and when I did a search of my computer, I found 7 files with this name in addition to the one that is supposed to be there.
When I run scans on these files with avg and malwarebytes, it says they are all clean and gives me no option to remove them. In addition, when I right-click them, there is no option to "permanently shred with AVG" like there usually is. When trying to simply delete them using more traditional methods, I am told I need permission to delete the file, which is odd since I am the system administrator. How can I get rid of these files?
