r/antivirus

so I was doing some routine cleanup on my boot drive and found these two weird applications listed. upon trying to uninstall either of them, nothing happened, I tried uninstalling them via control panel as well to the same result. I have run multiple scans, via Malwarebytes as well as a Windows quick scan, full scan, and offline scan, none of which came up with anything. im just wondering if these are Malware, and if so, how should I go about getting them removed? thank you.

hi I got a mod apk by mediafire link from the description of video by a youtuber who played the mod for the game School Girls Simulator and I ran it through VirusTotal and that said it was a Trojan and stuff.

I did not open it I deleted it immediately that, but I really do want to play it. I've seen other ppl play it without mentioning problems/saying not to download it?

I re-downloaded it (I still have not opened it. this was probably a mistake though ngl) and ran the apk through virus total again and then a few other sites too but only virus total said it contained malware? out of like... 3 sites I think I visited...

I only screenshotted the virustotal and jottis malware scan pages and malwarebytes app. I'm still wondering if I should delete it or if it's probably fine?

sorry if this isnt really the sub for this!!! im very tired rn and a little anxious wondering if this file is okay or not

For the past couple days everytime I use this chrome browser when I search something (one for my school) this shows up. It says “I AM MIGHTY PLAYER!!!!” And it won’t go away. I’ve checked all my extensions and there’s nothing there and I don’t remember clicking on anything. When I search it up nothing comes up. Please if someone’s familiar with this or knows how I could get rid of this please let me know.

For context:

I’m on Windows 10 and my laptop’s keyboard has been malfunctioning and as a result I’m only using my external keyboard. This malfunction is in no way associated with AVG. The malfunctions I’m experiencing are causing the keyboard to randomly start pressing keys and it’s very annoying. It’s virtually unusable.

Now I’m trying to completely disable my laptop’s malfunctioning keyboard but while only keeping my external keyboard enabled. I am not able to do this and AVG seems to be the reason. It appears as though AVG is interfering with my drivers, making it apparently impossible to disable only my laptop’s keyboard. I tried to follow tutorials on how to do so, and clearly my keyboard associated drivers have been altered by AVG, presumably for protection against key loggers and other malware, but it appears as though this makes it impossible for me to disable my laptop’s keyboard. I don’t remember the exact details, but when attempting to disable my laptop’s keyboard driver, it ended up disabling both my external keyboard and my external keyboard. This shouldn’t happen and I think the culprit is AVG. I’ve since managed to re-enable my keyboards.

My regular driver files are nowhere to be found, at least I couldn’t personally find them. It looks like they are obfuscated by AVG as avgKbd.sys . In my windows Device Manager list, I can see 3 keyboards, all listed as “HID Keyboard Device”. All of their driver directories are the same. I find it difficult to even tell which is which given that they all have the same name. This is also presumably some sort of AVG caused obfuscation.

I’m interested in finding out how I can disable only my laptop’s keyboard (and not my external keyboard) while still keeping AVG, if that’s even possible.

VirusTotal (link: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/ce8f2a14cb0dceab7ef5d5ff895124fe17998e4da5d75f150ee3d1c61f90d457) seems to believe that this website is clean (even the community seems to think so too). However, I am not quite sure if it is legit or virus-free to copy+paste https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/paint-3d/9NBLGGH5FV99 into this link in order to download Paint 3d. Any thoughts?

For context, both https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download and https://www.malwarebytes.com/ redirect to the same free download file, MBSetup. When placing the file in VirusTotal (link: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/0b9465643cd2609856e7ebdebc34296670a2b388c2bcf6e5ee0b59430c97bf41), VirusTotal deems the file as safe. However, the community gave it a score of -11. I am simply wondering why that is and if this file is 100% safe to execute.
