Iwas using Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 dual boot. And yesterday I was trying to create more space in Ubuntu partition. So, I tried to shrink space from the Windows partition using Windows disk management tool. But, it allowed me to shrink only 8 GB, and I needed more space (30GB). So, I used AOMEI partition assistant to shrink it. It went on a preOS mode and then after booting to Windows again I saw that it the required created 30GB space but formatted my Ubuntu partition too.

Edit

Oops, I found a silly mistake of mine. After shrinking through AOMEI I foolishly converted my EFI system partition from FAT32 to NTFS (using AOMEI). I converted it back again. And now I am able to boot to Windows normally, but not able to boot to Ubuntu, not even using the rEFInd rescue disk. Now, that's probably because of corruption in my linux-swap partition, but I am not sure.


Can you open Nautilus? If so, can you see the Windows 10 drives on the "Other Locations" tab? If you can see those drives, be sure to backup all your important data from those drives before you try something risky.


This will display the contents of EFI folder in your EFI System partition. Delete the ubuntu folder from here and also set Windows boot manager to boot Windows itself. To do so type following commands:


In case you cannot boot windows using the refind usb drive, Then go to the efi shell using the refind usb drive and press esc when the shell starts to skip and startup script. Then, type bcfg boot dump to display all the efi entries in your firmware. Look at the entries and note their numbers. Delete any Ubuntu related entry from here by typing bcfg boot rm XX.


The detection / classification is correct. Detection of potentially unwanted applications is optional and is not enabled without user's consent. For more information about what PUAs are, please read .


I had to use the 2nd tool for WIndows 10 since Microsoft's built in tool is broken and will block updates for the recovery partition due to a bug in WIndows 10 (the entire world has that bug in WIndows 10), the built in partition assistant can't update the recovery partition unless it is in a certain order of where the ? drive is


Nope the shadowcopy is only created when doing a backup using the Win 7 classic backup program built into Windows w/ the back up over USB 2.0 to a drive I plug in, and the exclusions are not working as I get about 5 to 8 per day of the same 3 items, there are the same 3 over and over (2 are 2 different versions of the installer for AOMEI Partition Assistant, the 3rd is part of the NirSoft Launcher)


1, The detection exclusion that you created to exclude a specific file / detection

2, The appropriate record from the Detections log related to the detection that occurred with the exclusion in place.

The 2 installers for AOMEI Partition Assistant are in the downloads folder and the older one in the recycle bin, and the 3rd one NIrsoft launcher is in the downloads folder and they have exclusions but I still get notifications that real time scanner picked them up ignoring the exclusion.


Also can you report the bug to the developers as the detections that show in the notifications are not showing in the logs correctly at all, as I see about 20 missing (I have not change the logs and they are set to the default log cleaning)


I don't understand what you mean by "move back". If you are referring to this topic location, it's correct. This forum is about both malware and false positives. Anyways, none of the files detected on your machine was a false positive and all were correct detections and classifications.


This form was moved to the wrong form, and 100% of them are false positives, the free version of the software that I know of does not have that detected part and it is a single 1 time purchase. The software has to be used since Microsoft's built in tool for disk partition has a bug where it can't resize the recovery environment in some configurations which blocks a security update released earlier this year from being install that blocks a bitlocker bypass.


It took about 4 times of telling and adding it to the ignored for it to be ignored (the pop ups started missing the add to ignore list since they already were but that was being ignored due to a bug in real time scanner)


Many Nirsoft tools can be exploited for malicious purpose in the wrong hands which is why they may be detected as potentially unsafe applications which are not detected by default. The application detected as potentially unwanted meets the criteria for PUA detection ( ) which is optional and enabled only with user's consent. Our experts on detection analyze applications deeply prior to categorizing them as PUA/PUsA so there was a good reason for the PUA detection.


The disk partition software is 100% a false positive as the part it is picking up is part of the paid for one and I had it just fine on the machine for over a year with not being flagged by ESET to 15+ messages a day about the same file even after telling it to ignore it and exclude it.
