indycurt Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) I for one do not blame you or your efforts for this. We live in an age where hackers grow more and more advanced in their efforts and keeping up with the evil is never ending. Don't beat yourself up over this. Anyone with an ounce of sense will understand this is not your fault. You obviously are doing what can be done and your honesty in letting us all know is greatly appreciated.

I have been installing well over 5-6gb of mods in the last week, and I noticed something odd when I installed a mod via NMM. My UAC said something was being installed and I, being tired just clicked on yes. Unfortunately I had installed about 10-15 mods and have no idea which mod caused the issue. When I checked to see "what" was installed, it said it was Synaptics Pointing Device Driver. I googled it and it is something to do with the laptop mouse pad "thingy". I am on a pc and don't have this device at all. So I tried to uninstall it via Control Panel and it stated that the system could not uninstall the program because it was not installed. I ran a virus scan with Avast, used TDSkiller, Malwarebytes, ESET online scanner and many others and nothing was found.Since this program installed, I get delays when typing in web browsers and oddly enough I have even lost 10-15 fps when using mods that alter the fallout 4 exe such as post processing mods using Reshade. Prior to this issue, I had no issues at all downloading any files or with any fps lags, even with the same presets using this method.I am concerned that maybe one of the reshade template/preset mods may have had a virus "dll" in it, possibly a keylogger. The dll file is synlSDLL.dllIf you need more info, feel free to contact me. Quote umiluv wrote: I'm sorry to hear that happen. Good luck to you on getting it off your system.

Optionally, also remove the driver in your driver manager. Edited December 6, 2015 by CreeperLava Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grodmanen Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) I downloaded Higher settlement budget on the 5th of December, and i got with it dsound.dll, and a reamdme file with instructions to place it in Fallout4 top folder, i never got the mod working ofcause. I didn't think of it as anything strange at the time. But when reading this i scanned the file with malawarebytes and ESET, but they didn't detect anything from the .dll file just to confirm what written in the article. I feel it to be a very strange thing to do, is this .dll file just a distraction? a mindf*#@? And now the mod has been taken down for now.

Optionally, also remove the driver in your driver manager.Synaptics is the driver suite for your touchpad/trackpad. Now if you don't have a trackpad, and have never plugged one into your desktop I'd say it's weird that it's on there. but if it really is as you say the Synaptics Pointing Device, then I'd say its just the driver package.
