    Never was a professional admin, but I used to always disinfect PCs manually. It's not that hard. There's specific things to check: Autoruns (by sysinternals), ProcessXP, Temp folders, User data, Startup folder, and scheduled tasks. Like 90% will be removed from that. The other 10% could be a DLL injection which requires a little more looking in the DLL/handles section of ProcessXP.

      @@autohmae True but that wouldn't really happen to most computers out in the world (only servers and ones which are on 24/7). Mostly you won't even get anything just by not downloading suspicious files and using little bit of common sense when people send you e-mail asking to click links and such.
      Reason why most private individuals are safe, is because their computers don't contain anything worth stealing (most hackers who infect random systems with ransomware are aware, that people most likely will just wipe the drive). That's why they more likely aim to infect systems (like government magistrate, companies with databases containing confidential data etc), which people can't just wipe even if they want to.

    Was having issue with slow performance for a year. Already tried looking for solutions many times, it didn't work. Been having thoughts about reinstalling windows for the past 2 months, but I still need my laptop until August and I don't really have the time to reinstall everything. Found this video by chance after watching a video about computer virus sent by a friend. (Edit: actually I was curious because the thumbnail looks interesting with pepe hammer and windows anime character, so I clicked it.)
    Ran this Tron program a few days ago after reading the instructions, Q/A, and many things written in the reddit and github.
    Found two trojans in System32/Drivers/etc. It infected the "hosts" file apparently. Was found by Malwarebytes, cured it. Only after that windows detected the trojan too.
    It was funny because I already did a full scan three times before with Windows' Antivirus, but only after running Tron it actually detected them.
    My laptop is currently running really smooth just like how I remember it back then. It doesn't have massive FPS drop anymore in game, it doesn't stutter nor freezing anymore, no more delay clicking Restart when the laptop slows down after a few game sessions.
    Thank you, really, to the one who made the video and the people involved in Tron.

I was really young and liked installing anything I could find useful. Then my browser started getting hijacked if I didn't look for tiny boxes to check or uncheck. Then I learned don't install anything to Windows unless you NEED to and you know that the program and the source is verified safe
    I'm semi computer literate. I had to fix everyone's PCs back in the day. I used to sit at people's grandma's houses while I was nuking their OS and reinstalling. I'd be making two accounts so they weren't logging in as admin, downloading every saftey software I could find at the time to prevent me from having to come back and crash coursing them on avoiding viruses.

      @@DanteLikesRock For a virus to run on your computer and do malicious activity, it NEEDS to be on the Task Manager processes tab, as every single thing running on your computer must be there. What I recommend you do, is write down the processes that are running when you start your computer, and if something's added, check it out and see what it actually is.
      Some viruses disguise themselves as real processes, for example: "windowsupdate"
      or "windowsdefender" or some other normal process, which is why you should write them down.

    Then you just go through the common spots for suspect files and programs to be and delete the stuff. Works better with bloatware and adware. But most people have this bugging them down anyways.

It basically opened my chrome, and ripped every single password I had saved on chrome’s auto password filler. Also not helpful is that I’m a sludge brain troglodyte so I had like 2 passwords I would use for everything.
    Queue me getting every single account I’ve ever used being accessed from Russia, hundreds in digital gift cards bought on Amazon, and my bank blocking numerous attempts to access. It’s a shit show.
    The next couple weeks were absolute hell, as I played catch up trying to ensure every site I have ever visited has all my PII removed and PW changed. I barely slept, and would wake up every night with security alert emails from attempted access from a plethora of shitholes.
    Ultimately, I completely zero wiped the PC after a shitload of antivirus runs and Hitman Pro and reinstalled windows, but shortly thereafter switched over to Linux mint as my daily driver.

    What I do to stop ransomware from being a pest is that I run different OSes, and have multiple copies of important stuff in multiple different platforms, and offline. If I get hit with anything the impact will be almost nothing.
    For a while I was keeping system image copies so that if something catastrophic happened, almost nothing would be lost and nothing of value. Storage is cheap, so keeping a spare SSD with an updated OS on it isn't expensive. If something kills your system, you just trade out the drives, nuke the bad one and re-image it clean.
    You can also do things online with a VM and if the VM gets infected, it won't really matter. You keep a clean clone of the VM and then create a 'new' VM from the safe clone.

      I’m pretty sure that my system got attacked while I was using a Kali VM (using Hyper-V on Windows 11 Pro). My VM was running entirely on an external SSD. After scanning a target system with Burp Suite using my VM set up this way, not only did the VM melt down, but I was shortly thereafter unable to connect to any WiFi with my laptop (a decent Dell Inspiron). Nothing I could do (and I’m no normie) was able to fix that short of factory resetting the system.
      Now I’m super paranoid and worried that I have a root kit or some other monster still lurking on this system, so that’s why I’m here watching this video.
      Is there any way that you (or anybody else) is aware that malicious code could have jumped from my VM to my physical system? If not - how do you explain the WiFi issue?
      If you’re wondering - I completely formatted the 500 GB Samsung T7 that was hosting my VM, and my laptop (for whatever crazy reason) does not have a LAN jack.
