I ran a Kaspersky scan after a while (not from the USA) and it came up with these 4, labeled as "events" instead of "objects".

Two says theyre from Edge update and 2 are from Kaspersky itself. Would that mean these are files that got damaged or are these infected?

Recently, Windows Defender started spamming me with alerts about a virus called "Predator ab!mtb." Each alert would pop up, but then disappear just a second later. Worried that it might be hiding itself, I decided to run a full system scan with Kaspersky Standard. Surprisingly, Kaspersky found nothing related to Predator. Was this just a false alarm from Defender, or could the virus still be lurking in some way? Has anyone else experienced something similar or knows what's going on?

So i was scrolling through Reddit and i saw i got the sharing badge progress twice. I went to close the app in the overview that lets you switch between apps (i have an android, so its three stripes) and suddenly facebook was open. What do i do?

I got a pop up website which i should have known better than to double check but it made me copy and paste something into the windows run panel. i feel really stupid for not checking but I'm wondering what i should do now. I could copy what was ran into the post but im not sure if im allowed as it might count towards linking to something malicious. id be forever grateful if someone could help me out here!!!!

Hi, today I downloaded the Insta360 Studio software directly from the official Insta360 website.

The software itself works fine, and my PC is running smoothly. However, after about 10-15 minutes of use, Kaspersky flagged the insta360-thumbnail-service[.]exe file as exhibiting "suspicious activity" and identified it as a potential Trojan (Generic).

Here the report from Kaspersky: https://opentip.kaspersky.com/2d13d0d0c513061bf8a769fe404f1b4cd9f3b3f928fda21aebf5670bc3b57cf5/results

I completely forgot to run it through VirusTotal, but I believe this is likely more a "false positive" than a "generic one". As a precaution (since the software wasn’t essential for my needs), I decided to uninstall it and run Kaspersky’s "Disinfect and Restart" procedure. Afterward, my PC returned to normal (as it has always been), and a subsequent scan showed no issues.

I tried searching for similar cases, but I didn't find anything.
I just wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this and get your thoughts on the situation. Thank you!

I have brave since a long time and just now While i Was playing eset marked it as malware (Win64/Agent_AGen.CLQ Trojan) Anyone knows why?

So I most likely downloaded something which turned out to be a piece of Malware. I think it’s pretty new because neither Defender nor Malware Bytes can detect it. After some basic investigation with sysinternals and browsing through my drive. I believe it is this:

https://any.run/report/cacc573a567a5b3dd379e8d9cbac8e5b4f325f77d8c2814bc3b678bb084d71dc/7b90dd8a-e27a-4a32-a73d-bc6579b83228

They’ve already stolen session tokens for my steam and discord and proceeded to sell my items as well as message a scam link to all my friends. I’ve changed passwords everywhere I can think of but my questions are as follows:

Is there a way for me to identify if this is a worm or if it is capable of spreading to let’s say a usb drive? I plan on recovering a few important files before a full format but I’m scared it will spread to the usb.

Does someone have any tips on tracking down the root of this malware? I’m a newbie but this is very interesting and before formatting my drive I’d like to investigate this malware a bit. I’ve already disconnected my Ethernet cable so that there is no network connection.

Thanks!

i think this may be a false positive, but with -2 community score??

This file is supposably intended to create a ruler in your screen and keep it there. Can someone in the community help me checking if it has anything malicious (I know there are tons of alerts but I just wanted to make sure they are not false alerts) - https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/5f8d717b6cb76356855b85a36e9f97db238db1d85802244c28d90674636b72bd/behavior

I’m considering buying Bitdefender Total Security for 1 device with a 3-year subscription. I found it on Amazon for ₹599 (approximately $7). This price seems unusually low, especially compared to the official Bitdefender India website, where it's much higher. Is this product legitimate, and has anyone else had experience with deals like this? Product Link: https://amzn.in/d/cLLKYFH

Hello, I was scanning a file to be able to play batman arkham origins online, managing your own host, everything comes out clean except this file, could it be dangerous or is it just a false positive?

My 24month sub is up next month (was renewed from 3 years before).

I have it installed across 5 devices with kid supervision, password db etc.

I don't specifically want to change to another provider mainly the hassle that comes with it migrating all apps, settings etc!

I've read Kasperski are agnostic, but being Russian also the flip side and red flags.

Any reason why as a UK user I should not renew?

Thanks!

So I scanned my pc with it and internet was disconnected during the scan. At about 90% of scan progess, it was showing 6 infected files. Then the scan got stuck on some .dat file for about 10 minutes. Then the scan finished abruptly and it showed that there were no virus, spyware ,etc. My question is what about the 6 infected files it showed earlier during the scan. There was no option of checking a report of the scan so I can't even find which were those 6 files? Is this normal or should I be worried?

Btw I had already scanned the system with Malwarebytes, HitmanPro and even used rkill and I have Kaspersky premium on top of everything. And none of these showed anything.

I got this on my screen, there is no way I'm interacting with it but how did it get there in the first place? Looking in Google play store and nothing relevant seems to be installed.

May or may not be relevant but I reset the device a few weeks ago so I could pass to my son.

Installed AMD chipset drivers and now this has appeared as a connection on my Registry

Can Sality virus (yep the old school one) survive a format ?
like my external drive was infected so i formatted it . is it safe to use now ?

Hi all, as per title, want to know if norton is good enough for basic use. aware that there may be better antivirus but i am able to get up 70-90% cashback with norton so it would quite definitely be the cheapest option.
Would also like to know more about the add ons and if they are any good to be getting, if its worth getting.

I didn't download anything or visit any suspicious site between my previous scan, which didn't find anything, and this one. Only deleted one file which wasn't named like this and wasn't even an .exe file

Hey all. I *think* this is something to do with Norton, but does anyone know for sure? It was the cause of a recent BSOD and the Minidump report shows this as so, but I can't pinpoint it. The report says 'Product Name: Antivirus' and when I search through Task Manager, 'nll' comes up as Norton, but there doesn't appear to be any actual process called nllVmm.sys.

Any help is appreciated!

Hello!

As following the guidelines for a "safer computing", I, after a bit of time, have finally set up a secondary account on my Windows computer for day-to-day use, without the admin privileges.

Now, for some questions:

• I have created this secondary account as "local" and have not yet connected it to a Microsoft account, but the admin profile is connected to one. So, if I connect this new user to the same MS account, does it create any interference? And let's say a malicious program or code can get through the defenses, and into the computer - Even if this new local acc does not have admin privileges, if it's connected to the same MS acc as the admin, can this malware mess with the other user?

Usually they come back after a few days but its been a while now. Will they eventually come back by themselves? They were very handy - i could see the health of any website before i clicked on the link.

I have everything 2FA app secured and always had, I'm moderately tech savvy. Yet recently my Steam, Instagram and Facebook account all got infected by bot activity. When I'd check login locations, Facebook and Instagram are completely clean, yet when I login and deauthorize all devices and change password, it stopped. Instagram just started following hundreds of accounts, and I just deleted it.

My suspicions were my email, or remote access to my PC or Phone. I've checked all of them and contacted support. Email is clean, I've tried 5 different Anti-virus software recommended often on this subreddit, on both my PC and my Phone including rootkit scans, and apart from some Potentially Unwanted Programs on PC that I've removed, nothing out of the ordinary. And today, it happened again on my Facebook, a bot sent mass messaging to Market sellers to scam them.

Any recommendations before I nuke everything and factory reset both my PC and my phone?
