    It looks like the virus infects the EXE files run from the external HDD and that's why I was always being reinfected after reinstalling Windows since many EXE files were infected and I was running them to install or run programs. I had to replace them and some of the them were hard to find. It looks like the virus infected VB Runtime's installer, Edge, Chrome, Malwarebytes' installer, OfficeRTool, Rufus, YUMI, UUP Dump's downloaded file, etc. It looks like the EXE files were only infected after I manually ran them.

    l had to reinstall Windows, delete every infected EXE file from my external HDD after scanning them with VirusTotal and redownload them. Some of the programs were hard to find. Anyway, I still don't get why was I only having this problem with OfficeRTool the last time and not with all programs that use EXE like OfficeRTool itself, Malwarebytes' installer, Edge and Chrome, YUMI, Rufus, etc.

    EDIT: It looks like it also infected the USB flash drive where I burned the Windows 11 installer but this time it's not an EXE file but a DLL one. I formatted it, scanned the ISO with Malwarebytes and burned it to the USB flash drive.

    Windows 10 User,

    First of all.. IT REALLY simple, Keep your F**K up External hard drive alone because it has a viruses.. Step 1.) RE-FORMAT 1 Hard drive completely with Low level Wipe Zero data with "CLEAN" bootable CD or DVD.. I would not use Flash Drive therefore easy re-infected ! DVD or CD is write once.. Once clean, check all your Memory ram see looks fine.. Boot DVD of Windows 10 or 11 that who has other computer such as your friend's home or whatever there computer is 100% clean..

    1.) Wipe Zero Clean HDD.

    2.) CLEAN OS'es System bootable of Windows 10 or 11 (Prefer DVD disc..)

    3.) Install Good trust worthy Anti-Virus software..

    4.) Update all OS'es and etc..

    5.) Office Install, Clean install..

    6.) you may need scan all of your external device, External Hard drive, USB flash drive and other that read and write.. Clean it out the infected..

    ALL Should be straight forward.. I been doing for Computer repair for 38+ years.. I work on any nasty stuff that are infected.. I have special bench made tools that I can easy wipe any hard drives or flash drives.

    Already did all of that. If the virus comes back, I'll report. Could you help me with this USB boot problem?

    Well, the infection would explain the errors. In old times, infection would usually go unnoticed for a long time. But now, we have DEP (Data Execution Prevention), ASLR (Adress Space Layout Randomization) and many other hardware+software features designed to prevent running infected software. Side effect: As the infection code cannot execute (Access Violation due to DEP), it crashes the virus host.

    These little nasties are named viruses for a reason, unless you manage to kill them everywhere, they'll easily re-emerge from any location you have probably overlooked. Much like Covid.

    Best way to be sure wipe the HDD using DOD software and do a clean install.....save time and headaches.

    Finally, I got rid of this nasty virus and I'm not having the 0xc0000005 error code when running EXE files or programs that use/should use them (like OfficeRTool, UUP Dump's Windows 11 installer's downloader, Rufus, YUMI, Edge and Chrome).

    There is no exe installer involved on UUP dump (oh yeah, but only 7zr and aria2 are exe files, or did you mean these files?).

    For the record, onedrive causes 0xc0000005 error for me, when it is running, as well as broken context menu and other unearthy behaviour.

    Do you only have that issue when using OneDrive or also when running EXE from other installed programs or from installers?

    It crashes explorer.exe with that error, but I quit onedrive as fast as possible to prevent other issues.

    You may need to scan some EXE with VirusTotal just to know if you're infected.

    DO NOT USE USB FLASH.. USE DVD ROM drive.. You need a Clean DVD Disc has no contain virus! SO, you need boot on DVD, NOT USB Flash Drive!!

    I Suggest Pull out the HDD C:\ Drive out and put "CLEAN SLATE" HDD and try it.. Keep work around...

    Replacing the infected external HDD's EXE according to VirusTotal, formatting the PC's HDD and reinstalling Windows 11 was enough.
