OneDrive strange behavior and Raccoon

[OldGunney]

After I had played a game yesterday I was looking around on my computer to deleted some old file and photos. i happened to notice the OneDrive icon on my taskbar had a check on it. I open the OneDrive and saw that it had download a lot of photos of BF1 images. That happened about 49 minutes ago while I was playing. I have never plaed BF1 so thought that strange.

Went into 'Pictures' area and found a new folder marked 'Raccoon'. Upon investigation I see this is some form of Malware. Deleted that folder.

Anyone else see 'Raccoon' in their 'Pictures' area? I've got SuperAntiSpyware running so I dont see how this happened.

The app onedrive detected a USB added to the PC, and show a popup screen asking you for backup, maybe you clicked and started the sync, that's why is there, same happens with drive from google

There is a particularly bad news piece of malware named Raccoon Stealer:

Raccoon Stealer Spyware

However, it is a stealthy trojan horse type program that would not likely be so obvious as to create a directory with that name. Still worth checking into, though!

Gunney, you're one step closer to getting things sorted. Good on you for keeping the ball rolling. I don't use OneDrive out of spite, and because I have no real need for it on my gaming PC.

Is the program Process Explorer still considered "good"? I used to use that a lot to validate my running processes when ransomware was getting popular. Used it a few times on friends computers to help diagnose a virus which was locking them out of everything including Task Manager. IIRC Malwarebytes was the goto for removal, but you still had to reformat and that was a long time ago. I still use it from time to time just to get a closer look at what programs my pc is running, but I don't keep up with that stuff like I used to.
