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 all, I’m looking for some advice regarding a threat detected by Windows Defender during a system scan. The alert was tied to the Winring0 driver used by MSI software.
I have already taken the following steps:
Uninstalled all MSI-related software.
Reinstalled MSI Center using the installer from the official MSI website.
However, the alert still appears in my Protection History, and I get an error when trying to "Remove" it from the log. Do you think a clean Windows install is necessary, or is this a common issue with MSI drivers?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Just a random question I was thinking about :p
This keeps happening sometimes when I open up Apple music and the Microsoft webpage but only when I open them from the shortcuts bar. I use Microsoft Edge and this has only been happening since this morning, Any ways to fix it?
so guys when my oc turns on you know the cmd pop ups 2 of them show up but they don't indicate if they are from cmd or not and after scanning my pc with malware bytes it detects nothing should i be worried ??
I had suspicions about having a virus in my system, checked for new installed apps, exclusion folder, did full scan + Offline scan with Microsoft Defender, did malwarebytes, rkill and HitmanPro scan, NOTHING! Then tried Eset online scanner and it found Win32/TrojanDownloader.Adload.NWB , could this be a false positive?
I have not, nor will i ever donwload chromium. So, how did it end up on my PC?.. I don't know. Hijacker if you are seeing this please spare me.
The chromium app could not be found on my computer, no dowloads in history were made thatt could have intalled chromium as part of a package. So how it ended up on my window bar i hjhave no clue
Anyways, i searcherd task manager for start up programmes i didn't recognise- nothing
ran a quick scan from windows defender- nothing
ran an offline scan- nothing
And when i boot up again after the offline scan I find the chromium window didn't open.
I also want to note that when i viewed the opened chromium window it gave me the iption to set it as defualt. I have heard that hijackers will do that themselves upon its install which gaves me hope.
I dont know wat to make of this and I am considering factory resetting my PC and selling it.
Any advice would be appreciated.
This is my personal computer and I found a file called msdownld(dot)tmp in my E drive and after deleting it 5 command prompt windows opened and closed. Now my search settings are managed by an organization.
Had one of those MrBeast Crypto malware. Ran windows defender which did not detect the file. subsequently installed hitmanpro and Malwarebytes and those software picked up the file. The file was then subsequently removed.
Many of the guides here suggests reinstalling Windows but I am wondering if it's necessary after locating the file and deleting it?
Hello, sorry if I do or say anything wrong I don't really know what I'm doing.
My Instagram and Discord got hacked yesterday with that Mr Beast scam. I reset my passwords for those accounts and my emails (should I also be resetting passwords for all my other accounts too?)
I also switched from an HDD to an SSD about 8 months ago so I wiped my new SSD and re-cloned my old HDD data back onto it. I'm really paranoid though so I kept worrying that what if I actually got the malware BEFORE I ever upgraded to an SSD and I never realized? What if it was on my HDD too and I just re-cloned the malware back onto my SSD?
I found this sub and browsed it a bit and saw that there's some people here helping with this exact sort of problem so I'm hoping I can get some help too.
I saw other people doing this FRST scan thing so I hope this is the right way to get help. Please let me know if it isn't.

every time i boot up windows this command prompt pops up now i havent been able to catch the text cuz it was too fast but could this be a virus or could it just be the programs i have set to open every time i boot up windows? (like whatssap, lively wallpaper, voicemod, warp vpn...)
it came randomly after downloading a pirated game
Mirai was auto quarantined from my browser cache when I clicked a link in the virustotal "websites that contain <another link I was researching>". If it matters, I can provide the link as well, but I really want someone to check my FRST files as well if possible!
