Thank you for the information, Rendell.

We would request you to click on more details and check the exact path where it is located in your computer. Please go to that location and check whether the file exists or not. Thank you.

Hello Rendell,
Please confirm us the exact name of AVG program installed in your device. Have you installed a new version of AVG program? Do you see the message 'You are protected' in the main window of your AVG program? Thank you.

Rendell, the file you mentioned belongs to Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. This tool will be automatically downloaded on your PC if you turn on the Automatic windows updates. So please check those settings and go to control panel to uninstall this tool. Thank you.

I have the same problem in the same location. Does this mean hiloti is embedded in the  MRT.exe file? Gill

Hello Gill.

Thank you for the information. Yes, it could be possibly infected. We would request you to uninstall the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool and remove any files related to it. Thank you.
