• That doesn't sound right

  A great tip I can share against viruses. If a virus survives through reboots, I.e. It starts it self with the computer it has added itself to a ASEP (auto-start extensibility point). Download and run autoruns which is a program from and signed by Microsoft. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns. It will highlight executables that are not signed as well as scripts and other values which... - Source: Reddit / 10 days ago

• So I got a virus on my computer while downloading a file and I feel really stupid but I need help to get rid of the virus without have to turn on the computer

  You're going to have to turn your computer on to fix it. I'd suggest booting into safe mode and running TDSSKiller and Malware Bytes Anti-Malware (MBAM). After installing MBAM you'll want to run a scan with it and remove any threats found. After that make sure to uninstall it as you don't really need the AV portion of it. After this you're probably good, I would personally check the system with Auto-Runs and... - Source: Reddit / 21 days ago

• Just did a full reset on my PC, Now a "program" its showing at startup with no name and strange path, is it a windows bug? literally just wiped everything and it came with default windows but im not sure, is it safe?

  You should try autoruns.exe, find the corresponding entry, right click on it and select "go to entry". This will open regedit and allow you to manualy fix the path to c:\program files. - Source: Reddit / 26 days ago

• Help! I downloaded a hack for a game and it turned out to be a keylogger!

• Any ideas on what this 437GB application could be? I'm afraid it is some sort of virus

  Name of scanner? What was the file infected or possibly infected with? A good malware doesn't go away that easy, could just be a touch(maybe crypto miner) of the payload which can update/add/return if you're infected with persistent malware. If that thing lived on your PC for 6 months(I'm assuming the date is install date) your Windows Defender/AV/Firewall may have been compromised. You can take a looksie at what... - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

• Upgrade recommendations for more FPS in Valorant

  With your ram at xmp now I don't know if there's much else other than making sure video card drivers are up to date, windows is up to date, you could update your chipset drivers: https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/b450, go to task manager -> startup and make sure pretty much everything is disabled (I just leave my sound card program enabled and windows security notifications), you can also use... - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago

  Malware. You could try running something like Malwarebytes & let it do its thing, or run something like Autoruns, or look for RUN and RUN ONCE stuff in the registry, but odds are it's a more sophisticated to be removed like that. Still, worth a try. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago
