I had a very irritating pop-ups after messing around with some files in my C drive. Tron helped solve the problem and de bloat my Windows 10. Thanks for the post
Hey, It's been a while my savior! You've saved me twice against malware and trojans.. I can't thank you enough for your work. You also saved me 400$ of repairs. Keep it up!
Nice video! You are really good at explaining complex knowledge to non-computer background people, and really know what regular people are concerned about.
Yo use trons el otro día porque tenía varios virus y no sé qué hace exactamente pero quedó muy ligera,me quitó addware y unos troyanos que otros antivirus no detectaron
My computer is not infected (that I know of). Should I install Tron just in case? 2) Also, what do you think about RKill? 3) And what is your preferred anti-virus software? Thanks in advance.
Haha. About 75% of my boxes and servers are on BSD or Linux so I'm with you. I don't choose one or the other. I must have all for their strengths weaknesses.
i used tronscipt and it detected troj/krypt-rf and some generic malwares and later i used to auto runs to find that the defender's publisher was not verified, should i be worried, any help will be appreciated
Hello Nico! I recently used Tron and now small things like location services are blocked by 'organization'. I'm on Windows 11 and after looking on O&O, I found nothing to enable that. I'm quite new to this sort of thing and I want to make sure that tron did its job fully while also having all the same features as before. I do see the 'factory reset' and the 'save a restore point' options and I'm also wondering if that is something I should consider doing??
Great video, "Ask your computer Guy" redirected, so glad he did. Q) I have been using IOLO "System Mechanic Ultimate" as an end of day cleaner, BUT, recent changes to their payment policy (insisting one uses PayPal, Amazon or Credit Card, means that when the licence expires (soon) I need to find an alternative, is Tron suitable for this as an end of day protocol. Also System Mechanic would run a "Net Booster" to clean and optimise my internet connection. So, I am seeking a one stop alternative that will Clean junk, optimise, Network, Defrag, recover lost memory, antivirus, and Malware killer, what do you suggest? does such an integrated solution exist?
Ok, great video and I can only imagine what you have to hear from "Gen Zero IQ" commenters. I have an observation, and a question : - Linux, or Apple OS, aren't any more secure than Windows, on the contrary. Linux just doesn't have as much threats because hackers can't be bothered with a system which is still niche, and many times is constantly being interchanged (various distros) by the people who use it. Adding to that, it is more widely used in "virtual spaces" or, as is my case with Tales, on a pen drive without persistence (I do use one with persistence). Hacking takes a lot of time, Linux, for various reasons, isn't worth most hackers time (unless you are a "legitimate" hacker working for the organization being attacking, in order to find and fix vulnerabilities). - As for the question, in the good old days of pirating Windows, especially XP SP2, the main hack was "camouflaging" the BIOS (or was it already UEFI?) as being a "Dell System", "HP system", and so on, machine. This way the "pirated" version of Windows (I mainly used XPSP2 Black Edition, which came with a "Swiss Knife of the best tools of the trade) could be updated by fooling MS into thinking it was on an approved system that had to be maintained "UpToDate". Would you consider these hacks as persistent virus, considering they would "mutate" with every Windows update? Now, the worst virus I ever had on any computer was Norton. It was painful to get rid of. The only "virus software" I would even consider using would be Kaspersky. Most commercial anti virus software are the worst virus anyone can introduce into their system. They start out with the "Free Trial Version", voluntary, or hidden in some other app (the way I got Norton in my System), this "Free Trial" will find hundreds of threats in any system, and when you try to erase them: "You must upgrade to the Pro Version", curiously enough, always on some huge sale for the next 48 hours. That is the worst practice of social engineering know to man, and yeah, in my book, that's an hack or, at the very least, malicious intent. So yeah, these companies are using the main tool "hackers" use, social engineering. As for the myth of "torrents", those sites do not tolerate any sort of virus (there will be some commercial malware, for those who don't know which download link to press on). These sites make their money from people visiting them on a regular basis, and from add revenue. The last think they want is to infect anyone and lose their users. The one I most frequently use only uses "verified files" which are "bombarded" by at least two different virus programs and two malware detection programs before being allowed access. Now the main issue is that people are stupid. There will be a clearly visible window with the links very clear, "torrent link" and, some times, right beside it, one saying "magnet link", with the name of the file in the same space , clearly visible, and separated inside a clear distinct window from the rest of the page... Then, there will be two or three huge "Download" banners on the same page, those are not the file download links, those are "spyware"/"malware" links made by one of the sponsors of the site (mostly harmless, but sometimes annoying). I have owned PCs since the very first one, in all that time I have only seen four or six "Zero Day" attacks, another myth, and all of those by Government Agencies. So no, there are not armies of hackers out to get you, unless you are Microsoft, Tesla, Dell, IBM, Amazon, and so on. Hacking takes a lot of time, resources, and footwork (90%+ of hacks are social engineering, big balls, and some good acting). Now, ransomware, people using your computer for mining, governments and institutions using your computer for research (yeah, that's a thing), that's a whole different story. The first, can be easily resolve if the first rules of computing/storage/backups are being followed (always have a backup of your data, in a different place, obviously, always have a backup in a system which has no access to any sort of network, and has no Wi-Fi). This, obviously, only for files that are important to you... The main anti virus anyone should use is their brain, just don't be stupid. And yes, a lot of organizations are going to attempt to use your hardware for themselves, but governments and research centres have been doing that for ages, as have all your browsers (especially Google). Use Brave, use Tor, use DuckDuckGo by downloading the Google app, otherwise it is useless. Cheers.
Regarding your question: in the old days you are referring to, it was actually a little more simple but just as sneaky. Our hard drive format was MBR instead of GPT which allowed malware to hide in the master boot record. We call these "droppers" and they would persist and drop in on a new installation. If the user or tech didn't know how to either wipe or repair the MBR then it would often persist. Bios and early UEFI didn't have secure boot so it was really easy to pull this off. Most persistent threats today are more sophisticated and rely on lateral reinfection. Using a hacked/cracked OS is extremely dangerous. The threat can be written into the OS and therefore cannot be removed.
@@NicoKnowsTech Thanks for the clarification. I remember using the "debloated" Windows XP SP2 "Dell BIOS MOD", and being able to upgrade it from MS to SP3 (best Windows ever, IMO). Never had an issue or any "harmful" critters (every system always has some unwanted "parasites", as long as they are not harmful, or use too many resources...). Then again, back then we had a tight-knit community of hackers/mods (I personally know the guys/galls responsible for the Black Edition), today it has become all a bit more dangerous, with Government and Big corporations, not to mention miners, "clowns" setting all kinds of dangerous "creatures" into the wild, Cheers.
Nico, am not sure which of your videos I used but you helped me getting rid of a virus from my PC and got it running smoothly with tron. I do have a question. Do you now how to solve the, "Your browser is managed by your organization," left over. Tried several fixes to no avail. TIA
On an early step in stage 0, it says if the rkill job takes more than 20 mins, kill solitaire.exe with task manager, my process did take longer and so I did, but should I have waited longer just in case or does that make any difference at all?
Hey Nico! Reaching out because after running the software to fix my computer being managed by an organization, I ran my anti malware tool ‘SpyHunter’ and detected two Trojan Viruses both coming from the application used to ‘fix’ computer? Any info on this - hoping faulty detection, however have me exact file path along with what it was.
so i got a simple virus on my computer when i tried to install forge which is a Minecraft modding software add because i thought that the ad was the download link yep that happen
I got a ❓ so idk if this is a problem but on my computer I think it is because everyone once in a while the cmd command prompt pops up for like half a second and disappears. after that happens, like a minute or two later my windows that I have open in the side just randomly closing and that's basically all that happens. I feel like someone hacked into my PC. Will tron be able to do something about this cause I haven't used this yet.
While running it, I got right past the McAfee Stinger scan, and I got a popup that said that I had an incompatable driver. Please help, is this malware?!
Hi I have a problem with my laptop. When I open chrome it will by close itself after like 5 seconds and then reopen automatically, what is that? There is also another thing sometimes a chrome cmd exe command or something shows up then closes. I tried your tron script and they still show up.
Only problem I had with it is enabled my notifications and enabled background apps also it changed my power plan that I optimized idk if it changed any other windows optimizations I did but that's all I've noticed so far
@@Mutatijosh I have the same problem, this dude has to be installing malware I’m taking my laptop to get reformatted ASAP edit: found the fix for the super loud noise, will wait on bringing it in to get reformatted maybe a week or two and see how it goes for now
@@NicoKnowsTech yeah so tron script deletes some changes you make to your computer ig and afterwards I tried playing VR and it was extremely laggy and choppy
Used newest version of Tron script seems worked for a day maybe then pc went slow again , ofcourse checked aurorun and the other page not show any danger stuff going on but pc still slow disc 100% so doqnload malwarebytes to run full scan in 30 hr 5 detections and still runing...left over night to scan ,in the morning 10h 34 mins of scan still running still same 5 detections cant even check what was the detections as seems pc crahshes on scan...what do i do? Run tron again or just reset pc from factory recovery option? Something os not 🤨😕 right....
One thing that happened with me when running tron stage 3 (I think that was the stage it was the anti-virus) was that those "Could not open" messages kept coming up and it said to ignore those but there was uncountable amounts of those messages. Was this normal?
@@NicoKnowsTech hi niko thanks for the response. One thing I still didn't know if it was normal was that during that stage 3 in the cmds it never really got past sophos. I did the malwarebytes scan then did sophos after that the cmds closed automatically I didn't know if the whole virus scan completed it took about 30 minutes
Open Resource Monitor and look for the Tron script that corresponds to the stage its in. I thought defraggler was frozen afyer being stuck for half a day at 27 percent, but in RM I could see defrag was readingband a bunch of system services were writing, including the Master Boot Record file which took forever to process (win 10 with HDD). Good thing I didnt pull the plug in middle of the MBR defrag & consolidate.
@@LeverPhile i Really appreciate the help, but this was one year ago. I managed to Run it, but I already own a completely new Computer, without ans issues. 😂 Thanks anywas, bud👍
Hey Nico! I love your videos. I was running Tronscript and it was on the 3rd step and then suddenly the screen went black. I cannot see the cursor and the black screen is unresponsive. The computer never did this before Tron. What should I do ? I don't want to turn it off because there might still be running the software. Thanks
Hii nico knows tech, I’ve run tronscript few weeks ago and I found trojan malware , my antivirus blocked it but the start up thing after that was completely disappeared. Can you explain it to me why!?
When i opened my “removed programs txt” file from logs it mentioned that it deleted a multitude of games and after effects stuff for me? But I can still use every file that “tron removed”
Does tronscript also make Google Chrome browser say controlled by organization? Or is that another bug? Because I have both windows and Chrome now saying that. I also still have the far right column in auto runs saying error on most for some reason if you have a fix for that.
Nico i have a problem. My pc keeps doing this thing where it doesn't let me see my taskbar, and sometimes i need to restart my pc and click the taskbar for it to work. It would mean the world to me if you could help me
Hello Nico. I just had a quick question about Tronscript. As a game dev who occasionally is adventurous and downloads plugins, modding tools, etc. from sources that probably aren’t considered official sites, I am hoping to have a good tool to keep my PC safe and performant. I’ve been using Norton, Norton Power Eraser, and Hitman Pro for awhile now, with none of the 3 reporting anything suspicious. I just wanted to ask if these 3 are good enough or if Tron makes a big enough difference in detection and removal to consider upgrading to. Thank you for the help.
hello friend I need your advice I just bought a computer and I have had some problems like the antivirus is disabled or files are deleted, and the truth is that some time ago trying to fix with programs that promise to clean your computer ended up ruining the pc and now I'm scared.
When I run wsreset.exe to reset the Microsoft Store I get the following dialog: "You'll need a new app to open this ms-windows-store link" the same happens for Calc.exe just replace the "ms-windows..." with "ms-calcu link". I realluy don't want to use the restore point as that defeats the purpose of running Tron. I cannot seem to fix this by running any of the PowerShell commands, wsreset.exe or other commands. This seems to be a common problem for folks that have ran Tron Script. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Hey Nico. I learnt about you from Ask your computer guy, and I'm impressed. Tron is truly amazing. I ran it again yesterday but to my surprise, the error “Error saving file” “C;\Logs\tron egistry_backup\BCD! “Continue with next file?" popped up. What should I do? 05
Hey there. Glad to have you. Scott from Ask Your Computer Guy is a good friend and knows his stuff! To answer your question: yes, you can continue to next file. I am assuming your system drive is an NVME and not an old school mechanical hard disk drive. That's a common error...not so much an error as it is information for the technician running Tron.
Need ur help ! after running tron I lost the dts headphone X: app which came with the PC , is there any way to get it back. it is not on Microsoft store .
Hey after I used tronscript 2, files appeared on my computer and the reason I figured out that there was 2 files, was because of Malwarebytes so should I be concerned
I ran the Tron Script program and everything went basically ok. but after I reboot I get a warning saying that "SYSTEM IS CORRUPT". "PRESS ESCAPE OR PRESS F! KEY" PLEASE TELL ME WHAT SHOULD I DO? THANK YOU FOR MAKING YOUR UA-cam VIDEOS. GREAT HELP.
Hey, thanks for this! You reminded me of another problem I am having, and no matter what I try (from research) I cannot fix it. On my Windows 10 machine, recently I ran Tron and about the same time, MS Excel began telling me that I cannot use hyperlinks to external websites because of my "organization" - just like you show at 5:18. Maybe Tron did this, maybe not, but what can I do even if it's not Tron?
Nico can you help i stuck with Tron on this step Sophos Virus removal Tool over 4 hours download, checking and instaling updates and nothing happens, ty!
hey nico i was looking through my programs recently and i have seen a Win32/office core and when i search up what it is it says that it’s a trojan how can i remove it?
Hey Nico I did Tron a week ago and on process explorer now there is a process caller memory compression but when I look up the info in the process there is barely no info and it's not in the system. So I disable the MMA agent on the power shell and the process it's still there compressing. Is that normal?.
Totally normal. Memory compression is an advanced function that runs automatically in Windows 10 and 11. It allows for better usage of memory/ram within Windows. You might recall how Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 would quickly run out of memory and then become so slow that they were hardly usable. A common issue was to have too many background tasks that would overwhelm windows. Modern versions of Windows are much more efficient with memory.
Hi, Nico. Is it normal if the process stuck for hours at "Dumping Metro app list to "C:\logs\tron aw_logs"". What I mean by stuck is : 1. The little rectangle beneath the phrase are not blinking as it was before. 2. The cursor (no light-blue loading symbol) are not responding to any movement of the mouse. 3. Same thing happen to keyboard typing. It literally freezing. I have tried force reboot once even though it stuck. But when i run (as administrator of course), same issue happen. Hope you can response to this, Nico. Thank you so much.
I have questions 1. I have downloaded tron and scan several times in my computer. But hacker seem like control my computer easily and modified the tron string in my computer. So how to do? 2. Hacker downloaded antivirus software in my computer and show audio.txt in file. I try to delete this file, but it can't delete So, what should I do?
My new computer guy, hope you are well. I've followed step by step on downloading Tron script for Windows. It worked assume. This might seem silly to you but is there anything like Tron script for android phones, android streaming devices.
After running RKill and TRON I have viruses detected on Windows 11. I believe these might be false positives. One shows up as "HackTool:Win32/RemoteAdmin!MSR" and the other is the "etc/host" file. Using Windows Defender I can not exclude the findings or remove them. I did remove the file (kail-linux) associated with HackTool finding, but the finding keep showing up. What to do.
There's something in my hp laptop that keeps happening even when I do a full wipe and reinstall windows It forces uppercase when it's in lowercase and lowercase when it's in uppercase. It forces Num Lock and flight mode and opens everything I click on in another window instead of a tab. It also selects many items even tho I clic on only one. I have run tron script as you showed and even verified with autoruns Is says I'm safe but it's still happening The most impressive thing is I used Windows 7 8 and 10 and I had the same problem in all of em My pc is hounted
hey nico I have a problem with tron, you see in stage 3 disinfect, there is an error that says "update error: failed to read remote metadata" what do I do? or is there another solution?
thank you for your effort. I have a problem with the boot menu. When booting, the BIOS in the device does not show that it has been deleted, or is there any command for me to restore the original BOISS of my device with cmd commands
Sorry bro I got an issue with internet connection it says that the firewall or security might be blocking my internet connection I tried tron also to reset hosts beside reseting the firewall and defender setting I don't know what to do I wold be so thankful to have your help
Hi, Nico. I have a follow-up question. Tron wiped-out my Skype. A re-install of Skype will be no big deal. However, the wipe also took my list of contacts. This is very bad. Any ideas? Thanks!
my tron scan didnt even run for an hour, something happened and my computer got restarted so idk if the scan was done properly. also malware byte hasnt been removed from my computer, i think tron installs and uninstalls softwares but it didnt so im not sure if the scan actually happened properly or not.
@@NicoKnowsTech I watched two of your vids but in your case your computer wasnt restarted but mine did, thats why im confused whether it worked or not. I run the scan again and it resumed from phase 5 and finally i got that green background in the terminal, is my scan complete? And is my computer free of virus now?
Quick question: I had recently removed malware from my computer and for some reason its lagging a lot do you know why this is? Before it was running perfectly but now it’s lagging
So I finished the tron process and when I wanted to delete the tron folder I couldn't. It says its open somewhere but I don't understand how. It's just sitting there on my desktop now. Is there a way to delete it or what?
@@NicoKnowsTech So I did that and it worked. Do you know how that could've happened? And OneDrive is asking if I want to delete the tron files from there too. So I guess tron puts files there? I should say yes right?
@@soyeah64 it put the files that were in one drive before it disabled one drive. You decide if you need those files. The Tron folders were in use because it prevents the PC from sleeping until after restarting.
Theoretically yes, but not the way a virus infects an operating system. You can scan with ESET. Links are in description. Apart from that, if you think you have a firmware infection, first assertain whether or not a nation state hack team wants to spy on you. If the answer is no, then I would say you do not have a firmware infection and should not Google what is possible and rather narrow your search to symptoms you can clearly see without much digging.

Any info on this - hoping faulty detection, however have me exact file path along with what it was.
so i got a simple virus on my computer when i tried to install forge which is a Minecraft modding software add because i thought that the ad was the download link yep that happen
Update: as on 8 apr 2023, the torn file on virus total is flagged as Trojan
I got a ❓ so idk if this is a problem but on my computer I think it is because everyone once in a while the cmd command prompt pops up for like half a second and disappears. after that happens, like a minute or two later my windows that I have open in the side just randomly closing and that's basically all that happens. I feel like someone hacked into my PC. Will tron be able to do something about this cause I haven't used this yet.
While running it, I got right past the McAfee Stinger scan, and I got a popup that said that I had an incompatable driver. Please help, is this malware?!
Hi I have a problem with my laptop. When I open chrome it will by close itself after like 5 seconds and then reopen automatically, what is that? There is also another thing sometimes a chrome cmd exe command or something shows up then closes. I tried your tron script and they still show up.
Sounds like a trojan.
what do you do about a trojan?@@NicoKnowsTech
The new Update 2024, windows defender said win32 adware 💀 should i be worried
Only problem I had with it is enabled my notifications and enabled background apps also it changed my power plan that I optimized idk if it changed any other windows optimizations I did but that's all I've noticed so far
I didn't know that there's someone with same problem as mine too.
@@Mutatijosh I have the same problem, this dude has to be installing malware I’m taking my laptop to get reformatted ASAP edit: found the fix for the super loud noise, will wait on bringing it in to get reformatted maybe a week or two and see how it goes for now
I just saw these comments. What happened exactly?
@@NicoKnowsTech yeah so tron script deletes some changes you make to your computer ig and afterwards I tried playing VR and it was extremely laggy and choppy
why did my windows boot manager turned black backgroun? it was previously blue BG
Mine changes regularly. I tend to blame Windows Update.
Used newest version of Tron script seems worked for a day maybe then pc went slow again , ofcourse checked aurorun and the other page not show any danger stuff going on but pc still slow disc 100% so doqnload malwarebytes to run full scan in 30 hr 5 detections and still runing...left over night to scan ,in the morning 10h 34 mins of scan still running still same 5 detections cant even check what was the detections as seems pc crahshes on scan...what do i do? Run tron again or just reset pc from factory recovery option? Something os not 🤨😕 right....
One thing that happened with me when running tron stage 3 (I think that was the stage it was the anti-virus) was that those "Could not open" messages kept coming up and it said to ignore those but there was uncountable amounts of those messages. Was this normal?
Totally normal.
@@NicoKnowsTech hi niko thanks for the response. One thing I still didn't know if it was normal was that during that stage 3 in the cmds it never really got past sophos. I did the malwarebytes scan then did sophos after that the cmds closed automatically I didn't know if the whole virus scan completed it took about 30 minutes
@@dannyan1444 Es normal que Tron no abra algunos archivos. Todo esta bien
You gonna make a video on what to do if software program broke your drivers and you forgot to create a restore point?
Hi! Tronscript is now running for about 10 hours, currently at phase3. It didn't show a new line for quite some Time How do I know that it isnt stuck?
Open Resource Monitor and look for the Tron script that corresponds to the stage its in.
I thought defraggler was frozen afyer being stuck for half a day at 27 percent, but in RM I could see defrag was readingband a bunch of system services were writing, including the Master Boot Record file which took forever to process (win 10 with HDD). Good thing I didnt pull the plug in middle of the MBR defrag & consolidate.
@@LeverPhile i Really appreciate the help, but this was one year ago. I managed to Run it, but I already own a completely new Computer, without ans issues. 😂 Thanks anywas, bud👍
Hey Nico! I love your videos.
I was running Tronscript and it was on the 3rd step and then suddenly the screen went black. I cannot see the cursor and the black screen is unresponsive. The computer never did this before Tron. What should I do ? I don't want to turn it off because there might still be running the software.
Thanks
Any update?
Hii nico knows tech, I’ve run tronscript few weeks ago and I found trojan malware , my antivirus blocked it but the start up thing after that was completely disappeared. Can you explain it to me why!?
When i opened my “removed programs txt” file from logs it mentioned that it deleted a multitude of games and after effects stuff for me? But I can still use every file that “tron removed”
So, would you say that ESET or Kapersky are alternatives to IOLO System Mechanic Ultimate?
Does tronscript also make Google Chrome browser say controlled by organization? Or is that another bug? Because I have both windows and Chrome now saying that.
I also still have the far right column in auto runs saying error on most for some reason if you have a fix for that.
Yes.
Hi Nico just wana ask how often do I need to run Tron Script, once or twice a month... 🤔
I wouldn't run it that often.
Nico i have a problem. My pc keeps doing this thing where it doesn't let me see my taskbar, and sometimes i need to restart my pc and click the taskbar for it to work.
It would mean the world to me if you could help me
Nico I had this virus that keeps. Showing win64 expiro I used tron and fellowed you instructions but is still showing what should I do
Hello Nico. I just had a quick question about Tronscript. As a game dev who occasionally is adventurous and downloads plugins, modding tools, etc. from sources that probably aren’t considered official sites, I am hoping to have a good tool to keep my PC safe and performant. I’ve been using Norton, Norton Power Eraser, and Hitman Pro for awhile now, with none of the 3 reporting anything suspicious. I just wanted to ask if these 3 are good enough or if Tron makes a big enough difference in detection and removal to consider upgrading to. Thank you for the help.
Check my video on ESET. Its on the channel.
hello friend I need your advice I just bought a computer and I have had some problems like the antivirus is disabled or files are deleted, and the truth is that some time ago trying to fix with programs that promise to clean your computer ended up ruining the pc and now I'm scared.
When I run wsreset.exe to reset the Microsoft Store I get the following dialog: "You'll need a new app to open this ms-windows-store link" the same happens for Calc.exe just replace the "ms-windows..." with "ms-calcu link". I realluy don't want to use the restore point as that defeats the purpose of running Tron. I cannot seem to fix this by running any of the PowerShell commands, wsreset.exe or other commands. This seems to be a common problem for folks that have ran Tron Script. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Hey Nico. I learnt about you from Ask your computer guy, and I'm impressed. Tron is truly amazing. I ran it again yesterday but to my surprise, the error “Error saving file”
“C;\Logs\tron
egistry_backup\BCD!
“Continue with next file?"
popped up. What should I do? 05
Hey there. Glad to have you. Scott from Ask Your Computer Guy is a good friend and knows his stuff! To answer your question: yes, you can continue to next file. I am assuming your system drive is an NVME and not an old school mechanical hard disk drive. That's a common error...not so much an error as it is information for the technician running Tron.
Need ur help ! after running tron I lost the dts headphone X: app which came with the PC , is there any way to get it back. it is not on Microsoft store .
Hey after I used tronscript 2, files appeared on my computer and the reason I figured out that there was 2 files, was because of Malwarebytes so should I be concerned
I ran the Tron Script program and everything went basically ok. but after I reboot I get a warning saying that "SYSTEM IS CORRUPT". "PRESS ESCAPE OR PRESS F! KEY" PLEASE TELL ME WHAT SHOULD I DO? THANK YOU FOR MAKING YOUR UA-cam VIDEOS. GREAT HELP.
Hey, thanks for this! You reminded me of another problem I am having, and no matter what I try (from research) I cannot fix it. On my Windows 10 machine, recently I ran Tron and about the same time, MS Excel began telling me that I cannot use hyperlinks to external websites because of my "organization" - just like you show at 5:18. Maybe Tron did this, maybe not, but what can I do even if it's not Tron?
Great Content Nico As Always
Nico can you help i stuck with Tron on this step Sophos Virus removal Tool over 4 hours download, checking and instaling updates and nothing happens, ty!
My pc cannot clean .Ink file in my sd card contains worm named by Microsoft as Worm:Win32/Jenxcus!lnk. What to do please help ?
hey nico i was looking through my programs recently and i have seen a Win32/office core and when i search up what it is it says that it’s a trojan how can i remove it?
Hey Nico I did Tron a week ago and on process explorer now there is a process caller memory compression but when I look up the info in the process there is barely no info and it's not in the system. So I disable the MMA agent on the power shell and the process it's still there compressing. Is that normal?.
Totally normal. Memory compression is an advanced function that runs automatically in Windows 10 and 11. It allows for better usage of memory/ram within Windows. You might recall how Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 would quickly run out of memory and then become so slow that they were hardly usable. A common issue was to have too many background tasks that would overwhelm windows. Modern versions of Windows are much more efficient with memory.
Is tron normally a 7 hour download, or do I have slow internet and/or bloatware?
Hey nico do you know any scripts or programs that can remove ssoi virus? I ran tronscript and it removed bunch of trojans but ssoi still stayed
Hi, Nico. Is it normal if the process stuck for hours at "Dumping Metro app list to "C:\logs\tron
aw_logs"". What I mean by stuck is :
1. The little rectangle beneath the phrase are not blinking as it was before.
2. The cursor (no light-blue loading symbol) are not responding to any movement of the mouse.
3. Same thing happen to keyboard typing. It literally freezing.
I have tried force reboot once even though it stuck. But when i run (as administrator of course), same issue happen.
Hope you can response to this, Nico. Thank you so much.
Check the health of your hard drive. Check my channel for videos on it.
I have questions
1. I have downloaded tron and scan several times in my computer. But hacker seem like control my computer easily and modified the tron string in my computer. So how to do?
2. Hacker downloaded antivirus software in my computer and show audio.txt in file. I try to delete this file, but it can't delete
So, what should I do?
Nice i used it on my win 10 laptop do you have any idea if its supporting win 11 now ?
Is Defraggler going to recognize that I have an SSD Drive and not perform the defrag?
Nico does in fact know tech
Is there a difference between running the http as opposed to the https version?
How long is the junkware removal phase 3 supposed to take? It has been on this stage now for 2hours. Is that still normal or unusually long?
It can take a while, but click inside the console window and hit space bar. It may be paused.
My new computer guy, hope you are well. I've followed step by step on downloading Tron script for Windows. It worked assume. This might seem silly to you but is there anything like Tron script for android phones, android streaming devices.
Hey man! I am well! Thanks. Glad you found me. No script for Android/Mobile yet. I will see what I can do!
Excellent information, thank you!
You bet!
After running RKill and TRON I have viruses detected on Windows 11. I believe these might be false positives. One shows up as "HackTool:Win32/RemoteAdmin!MSR" and the other is the "etc/host" file. Using Windows Defender I can not exclude the findings or remove them. I did remove the file (kail-linux) associated with HackTool finding, but the finding keep showing up. What to do.
S🤐🤐ame here
@@anthonycastlevloghe explained it in another video the etx hosts on are false positive
There's something in my hp laptop that keeps happening even when I do a full wipe and reinstall windows
It forces uppercase when it's in lowercase and lowercase when it's in uppercase. It forces Num Lock and flight mode and opens everything I click on in another window instead of a tab.
It also selects many items even tho I clic on only one.
I have run tron script as you showed and even verified with autoruns
Is says I'm safe but it's still happening
The most impressive thing is I used Windows 7 8 and 10 and I had the same problem in all of em
My pc is hounted
Or... Your keyboard is dirty
How do I untistall the tron software? It’s not working well on my pc
guys, i have a new copy of windows so my pc is 100% clean. is it worth to use the tron script just for debloating my system and cleaning it up ?
Use my debloat video.
hey nico I have a problem with tron, you see in stage 3 disinfect, there is an error that says "update error: failed to read remote metadata" what do I do? or is there another solution?
suitable for win 11 this ?
Yes
thank you for your effort. I have a problem with the boot menu. When booting, the BIOS in the device does not show that it has been deleted, or is there any command for me to restore the original BOISS of my device with cmd commands
Sorry bro
I got an issue with internet connection it says that the firewall or security might be blocking my internet connection
I tried tron also to reset hosts beside reseting the firewall and defender setting
I don't know what to do I wold be so thankful to have your help
I ran Tron and it helped my laptop a lot. But when I went to play a game my fps dropped by over half. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
It removed the vital driver which Arron consider a bloatware.
Don’t remove the false bloatwares, reinstall them
Hi, Nico. I have a follow-up question. Tron wiped-out my Skype. A re-install of Skype will be no big deal. However, the wipe also took my list of contacts. This is very bad. Any ideas? Thanks!
I would restore your PC with restore point, back it up then run Tron again.
Hello Nico Sir, Love from India🙏🏻❣️, avoid all the hate comments.
Btw your eye color is beautiful 💯
Thank you!
When i scan my opera gx on autoruns it comes up as Trojan.Generic.heqed is this a real trojan?
Due to the sketchy behavior of Opera, some scanners alert on it. Technically Opera is safe. False positive.
@@NicoKnowsTech ohh
I ran this and really saw no big issues but malware bytes stuck around but I still got rid of it
Had re install my virus scanner one I pay for it’s good one total av
my tron scan didnt even run for an hour, something happened and my computer got restarted so idk if the scan was done properly. also malware byte hasnt been removed from my computer, i think tron installs and uninstalls softwares but it didnt so im not sure if the scan actually happened properly or not.
Which of my Tron video tutorials are you following?
@@NicoKnowsTech I watched two of your vids but in your case your computer wasnt restarted but mine did, thats why im confused whether it worked or not.
I run the scan again and it resumed from phase 5 and finally i got that green background in the terminal, is my scan complete? And is my computer free of virus now?
Do we have similar script for Mac or it is only Windows
if i close tron during run will it corrupt my pc
Quick question: I had recently removed malware from my computer and for some reason its lagging a lot do you know why this is? Before it was running perfectly but now it’s lagging
make sure you have all of your manufacturer's performance control apps
My computer is from dell and i dont know how to check for those. Do you know how i can check for them?
So I finished the tron process and when I wanted to delete the tron folder I couldn't. It says its open somewhere but I don't understand how. It's just sitting there on my desktop now. Is there a way to delete it or what?
Restart your computer then delete it.
@@NicoKnowsTech So I did that and it worked. Do you know how that could've happened? And OneDrive is asking if I want to delete the tron files from there too. So I guess tron puts files there? I should say yes right?
@@soyeah64 it put the files that were in one drive before it disabled one drive. You decide if you need those files. The Tron folders were in use because it prevents the PC from sleeping until after restarting.
Nico please answer a virus can infect my videocard , ( vram or bios or anything on videocard ) how i can check ??????
Theoretically yes, but not the way a virus infects an operating system. You can scan with ESET. Links are in description. Apart from that, if you think you have a firmware infection, first assertain whether or not a nation state hack team wants to spy on you. If the answer is no, then I would say you do not have a firmware infection and should not Google what is possible and rather narrow your search to symptoms you can clearly see without much digging.
Hi brother i want to talk with you regarding ransomeware virus attack on mu system

Hi nico I have a quick question. Whenever I run tronscript it always gets stuck at last successful update, do you know how to fix this?
Or does it just take time?
man i need your help, in my windows 7 the tron bat dont execute
uhh after i use tron on my laptop theres like random local account appearing everytime i shutdown my laptop how to remove this?
What's the account called?
After i ended TronScript, Windows found a "probably Hijack software" on my computer, do u know why is that?
false positive.
I’m running step 3 rn is it supposed to last very long?
It can. Depends on your system. What's the status?
Well my system is your average office desktop so yeah and It said sophos antivirus is running and there’s this spinning slash symbol that I can see rn
Nico, Tron just restarted my PC, and now I have a program called Kaspersky virus removal tool. So I don't know if it's normal o what happened
Run the script again.
