hi, i hope im posting in the correct thread. please guide to the proper thread if im not.
My dad's pc (windows 7) has been infected with some virus.
I installed Malwarebytes and these are the 2 virus it found. I removed it and then restarted according to the instructions. I did a re-scan and the virus is still there.
1. PUM.UserWLoad
2. Trojan.Ransom
This lead to another problem as 3 of our thumb drive was also infected with "Backdoor.Bot". This got me worried as I did a search and it says it can compromise security. For some reason our thumb drive files changed into a "shortcut". I transferred some files from the pc to my ex-hd before realising it was infected. When I plugged my ex-hd into my mac laptop, it became a ".lnk" file.
I myself is using a mac and I'm wondering when I plugged my ex-hd in, would it infect my mac too.
I'm not really an IT person so I'm thinking of sending it to a professional to clean the pc and thumb drives and my mac to the service center.
A result log from MBAM posted over here would be much helpful and at least can let us go through which entries or value did not get cleared.My dad's pc (windows 7) has been infected with some virus.

Malware that infects Windows has different execution method and Mac is running in a totally different environment. So do not worry the Mac will get infected, instead, if you send your Windows PC to any shop, people will just ask you to format it.
