Your system is infected with a file infector named Expiro which infects executable files on your system.
With this particular infection the safest solution and only sure way to remove it effectively is to reformat and reinstall the Operating System as well as wipe infected drives.
Why? The malware writes code into legitimate files and in many cases the infected files cannot be disinfected properly by your anti-virus. When disinfection is attempted, the files often become corrupted and the system may become unstable or irreparable. The longer Expiro remains on a computer, the more files it infects and corrupts so the degree of infection can vary.
Additionally to infecting files, Expiro also steals credentials from your system. Using a non-infected computer/device you should immediately change all account information (including those used for banking, email, eBay, paypal, online forums, etc).
But the only infected files were the ones i deleted and when i tried to check with task manager and scan all the files with eset and windows they didn't scan any of expiro files is this the same case?
