Windows DesktopQuarantine the Startup Malware
(OBJ.2.4)
Scenario
A front-desk ticket came in: "Every time I turn the PC on, a black window flashes for a second, and now Windows Security keeps popping up a threat warning that won't go away." Open Windows Security and run a Quick scan, then quarantine whatever it finds. The infection is also persisting itself through the registry — open Registry Editor and remove its entry from the current user's Run key so it stops launching at sign-in. Windows Security -> Virus & threat protection -> Quick scan -> quarantine the threat. Registry Editor -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run -> delete the SystemHelper value. Use whichever tools you like — Registry Editor, or a terminal (reg delete /v, or PowerShell's Remove-ItemProperty). Grading is on the final state.
