win32/amalum symptoms: PC almost takes 5 minutes to load fully before it can utilize any applications. Additionally, audio and video is so slowed down and slurred that it is impossible to do anything. Internet has recently slowed to a crawl as well and this seemed to be the last function to go, when the computer is being restarted, there is a command window that loads titled “winlogoo.exe that has a hyper cursor that jumps all around the window. Click “X” to close it out and receive a message that states error: cannot be completed…but the window closes anyway.
FIX : There is no AMalum virus. This is a known false positive result from CA Antivirus which they should fix on the next update, full story at keybol
