Roguekiller wanted to upload a file called Bootstrap.dmp
« on: September 13, 2015, 02:54:07 AM »
When I was doing a scan with RogueKiller as part of my regular paranoia checks (so no real reason for it, no infection symptoms or anything), it wanted to upload a file called bootstrap.dmp to virustotal, but at the end results didn't show any infections or anything (neither Avast, Malwarebytes or HitmanPro found anything). Should I worry about it? The file was located in folder C:\Users\Jukka-Admin\AppData\Local\Temp, and when I uploaded to VirusTotal it didn't show up as malicious.

Virustotal link: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/37ac6199a62553aeebb8afa8eef9c3726daa3d85109bd535e1771afbbc6cb39e/analysis/1442101214/

Of course, I realize that it's just a dump file and thus even if it was related to some virus, it's not the culprit itself. It would be really nice to know if it just completely harmless. Also linking the scan log.

Hi JukkaG,

Welcome to Adlice.com Forum.

You report is clean and the uploaded process is legit
RogueKiller found an unknown process running on your system, that's the reason why it asked you to upload it to VirusTotal.

Regards.
