Can someone tell why Either Microsoft or this Virus (it's called ncrypt - is it one) has the signature of Microsoft ? , All I found out is it Could be from Microsoft KSP or whatever that is? and also it try's to do something to the default browser which I love to use on my tablet but Malware bytes blocks it's connection so that leads me to believe it's a bad thing although I Really am not sure what it does to my browser since it's not redirecting - here's an album with just 3 pictures of it imgur - [url]http://imgur.com/ojmRybc,9ORJDPk,r0g2f7h#0[/url] - I don't want to risk more infected so I linked it - although I scanned my system with a live Rescue CD from bit defender and it picked up nothing so my only guess is did Microsoft buy out ncrypt and it's creators? or could it be an app ?
TL;dr - Either I'm remembering the wrong virus or something because last I remember ncrypt used to be one
my current system is upgraded from windows 7 sp1 OEM to windows 8 to windows 8.1 pro and just to get this out of the way - it's a brand new install since today early morning
note - I'm currently on sleeping meds and a few other knockout meds so sorry if there's anything misspelled I tried my best :v:
[URL="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa376255%28v=vs.85%29.aspx"]ncrypt.dll is a valid Microsoft code library[/URL] although there may be a fake one elsewhere pretending to be the same DLL. It's also possible that there is other shit going on. When in doubt, upload the file to virustotal.com.
On the other hand, ncrypt.in is the site for a utility that is not the same as Microsoft's DLL: "nCrypt offers the possibilty to manage your filehosting links. We have special focus on an easy folder management and a frequent check of all online statuses of your links. Who wants to protect the links from unauthorised access, can protect folders with a captcha or a password."
Check to see if you've got this utility installed anywhere, including if it was packaged along with an installer for something else (the way installers are like, HEY WANT TO INSTALL MCAFEE TOO?!).

Oh so I panic'd for no reason haha [img]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-gibs.gif[/img] although the only fishy thing is ncrypt.in
which I did do a IE reset this afternoon once I found out about it but once I got back up and running it still blocked it
Ok I checked the Uninstall / Change a program list and I found nothing of that sort although the only
thing I did find was WinRAR along with my drivers which I'm pretty sure I installed this afternoon
and unless it's something of something long gone and it still syncs it since it's also on my win 8.1 tablet
then my only choice would be to reset my synced settings which I'd be more then happy to do all i'd need is to just re - import my chrome bookmarks
edit - Thank you for helping me where I couldn't and I mean it too.. sadly I take pills that day to night to next day make me forget what happened the next day and yes there doc prescribed for a short time after waking up.. anyways I think I'm going zero both of my C: and D: drives although going to save like 1 or 3 things and my win 8 - 8.1 drivers ..and plus I can actually install a Linux distro that suits me and the good thing is I already know some commands to get me started .. I'll mark the thread has Solved (should be a rule for threads like this)
