    I recently ran a boot time scan with my Avast software. The scan found a file @
    C:\user\user\AppData\Local\Mobogenie\driver\85dd/ffbb9cf4cb7d253b984edf431db.mul
    which is corrupted. I want to go in and delete this file but when I go to C drive within windows I cannot locate it. There is no direct user\user\appdata\local\mobogenie\driver file there. How can I locate and delete this? Thanks.

    The user application data folder is probably hidden.
    Click on Start ... Control Panel
    Click on the Appearance and Personalization link .
    Click on Folder Options.
    Click on the View tab.
    Then under Hidden Files and Folders.....Make sure there's a tick against.. Show hidden files and folders
    Then click Apply and then Ok.

    Make sure that you retrace the steps afterwards to hide the system files again.

    Pete I think that Mobogenie is involved with Malware. Maybe this thread should be looked at further?

    Isn't Mobogenie an app that allows you to sync your smart phone with your computer?

    Yeah the thing by itself may not be a virus but it is an enabler for sure.

    At least as the article says MBAM will clean it up. May be worth running JRT and ADWcleaner to be sure.

    Not a bad idea....though maybe we should instead suggest Malware Forum and let the pros handle it?
