i also got this a few times is this a virus??

I'm talking about the whole "og Fortnite" ezfn and not all the skins ezfn. I wanted to install it but I have seen a debate whether I search if it is a virus. I would like some proof of the answer if it is a virus or not.

i am sick of antiviruses that ask for moneys. I don't even have a credit card, somone tell me pls

Edit: thanks for the advice of the windows defender.

This helped me ALOT, now i founded the virus (it was a trojan☠) my pc is breathing again

While I am aware that there is Malwarebytes and hitmanpro, are there better ones or others that you believe are just as good or are these two the cream of the crop?

A couple days ago, I tried to download a movie from a rather sketchy website, and afterwards, my search engine randomly changed to Yahoo, and I can't change it back. It defaulted to the name McAFee, and I can't change back to Chrome for my search engine. I uninstalled it, and this still is happening. Whenever I try to switch to a different Google Chrome account, it automatically asks if I want to allow McAFee to be added as an extension. Can anyone provide some advice? thanks in advance

I know it's possible but my question is specifically about supposedly safe websites like Bandcamp. Anyone can create a page on Bandcamp, including scammers and hackers. I sometimes come across band pages that are obviously fake and whose creators are probably malicious. Can you get infected just by visiting a Bandcamp page?

Title. Im not a talent guy but from my knowledge it’s a program that can run files without your system being infected?

3 out of 69 vendors, one of which lists it as RiskWare/Win32.Kryptik.a. Problem is I got it from Github and it seems legit. Is it safe or nah? Anyone else use the program? I need to download audio from YT for an animation Im working on, man. XDM isn't working, keeps saying invalid request from server.

i accidently opened a phishing website, malware bytes said it was blocked due to phishing, I'm ok right?

Earlier my friend needed help dm'ing someone something she was too nervous to do, so she had me log into her account and send it for her. I opened a private tab on brave, logged in, then sent it, then logged out. Well after I did that I remember her computer has viruses on it. Then I got really paranoid that it might infect my computer. I'm worried that me logging into her account infected my computer or something. I know this is probably me just being stupid and paranoid, but I'm not really that smart when it comes to computers. I didn't get a virus, right? I didn't click on anything or download anything, I just sent a dm and logged out. She told me it'll be fine but I'm still worried. I did a full windows security scan and it came back fine to, but still, I'm worried. I know this is a really stupid question but I just feel the need to ask. I'm worried and I feel sick.

I need some serious help cause I recently saw on this Reddit that tenorshare is a malware and I remember downloading it on one of my computers but I don’t remember if it was my new or old one but I remember deleting it but I don’t think I did it properly so how could I find it on my computer and where the remaining files would be so I can remove them???

can someone please help me, I never use computers, or at least I havnt in the past 4 years. Im starting college next month so I bought a dell inspiron. I have been told everywhere online to delete mcafee and install another antivirus. please someone tell me what I should download, how to download it, and could you please provide me with a link if possible. I really dont want to ruin my computer im pretty confused

It is a site that was created in a group that I am in and everyone seems not to have seen anything strange, but I get this malwarebytes alert, but when I passed it in virustotal it said it was safe, even so it is dangerous to enter?

Hi all, I just got a new Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x and thought I would transfer my very basic Norton 360 to this new PC. However, the Norton package is not downloading even after I removed the McAfee trial programs that came with this computer.

It looks like it might be because of the Windows Defender ans its firewall that maybe this new laptop comes with? I don't have a separate subscription for Windows Defender or Security though and am wondering if trying to install basic Norton is still worthwhile. I basically want that VPN lol.

Thank you! Any insights into this would be really helpful.

Sorry if this is a idiotic question and I'm not even 100% sure this is the right subreddit but I was recently told that mobile games that haven't been updated in a good while(like a year or 2) can become malicious or have vulnerabilities when used. Now the games I have on my device are just choice making games and were downloaded off the google play store and are in my third party apps and services list. I'm now really troubled because the games I only play rarely now but I do like going back time to time but I now feel like I need to unistall them to be safe. Is getting malware or hacked through a mobile game possible or is it not?(I'm generally kind of anxious)

Hi, I'm looking for an archived version of a software, I found it on https[:]://www[.]toucharger[.]com/ and I haven't executed it yet because this thing might have been repackaged. Do you know how I can make sure that this file is the original setup of the version I'm looking for? Thanks.

i got a trojan, how to remove it the easiest way and the quickest way please, i dopnt have a lot of time in the moment

Edit : fixed

I keep getting undetectable malware without even download anything bad when I turn my wifi on my cpu and disk jumps to %100 usage And this has been happening for weeks I have even tried reinstalling windows.

I woke up today with my Google account compromised. Thankfully, I've taken it back using Google's recovery form.

This happened shortly after downloading something from a source I thought was trusted. As I unzipped the RAR file, I noticed how weird the files were. I was downloading an old game and I don't think it needed a Setup.exe file.

That brings us to Windows Defender. It tells me it removed the file. This is the only thing I can think of that could have led to my account being hacked, but I don't remember clicking on it and it seems Defender shut it down. Then again, it is possible I clicked it and just forgot... but I assumed Defender would have caught it before then.

I've used Hitman Pro, Malwarebytes and Windows Defender to do full scans of my system and nothing significant was found. I've also reset my password on a lot of sites I use.

So... what should I do from here. Does anyone think the virus affected my system but was removed shortly after? Should I do a clean install? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have Clamwin installed on Windows 2000 PC but it takes hours to test some data base after updating virus signatures. Is this just because the pc is old and not very powerful or is there something I can do to fix it with the app?

So as part of of my research for my dissertation I've been having to go to libraries to read books. A friend put me onto LibGen to get free PDFs of the books I want. I downloaded a few books for free without any issues. However, on the fourth book I went to read, I had to click on the second mirror and I downloaded a .djvu file instead of a pdf and since then have been receiving these pop-up notifications alerting me of these tabs like the one below opening up on Safari.

I'm normally a Chrome user so I expect that closing Safari will stop these notifications from appearing; however, I would still like to stop receiving these notifications. Does anyone have any advice on how I could do so?

Edit: The photo below is an example of the kind of notification pop-ups that appear. This one appeared just as I posted this question haha!

I want to play among us with mods but I downloaded originally mod from github (non official repo) and 4 AVs flagged it as a virus. Let me know what do you think because i want to play this and there is no other source for this mod.

Hello, I have a question. Sometime in 2021 or earlier, I installed the Hola VPN plug-in for Google Chrome, I didn't know then that it was dangerous. My IP address is such that the person living next to me who has Internet from the same provider as me has the same IP address, and only the Internet provider has access to the router (I cannot log in to this router). And now the question is, if I had this Hola VPN plug-in downloaded, could someone gain access to the camera connected to Wi-Fi? Or even to my Webcam?

For some reason there are 4 different Intels in my startup services, with one being called unknown. Does anyone know if I should be worried or if this is just normal?

There's still a shortcut file remaining that leads to schtasks. is this bad or am I fine to just leave it?
