Help me i beg

a couple of days ago me and a friend decided to download a crack of flatout 2. Turns out, it was a trojan (i think its some sort of rat). I tried eset security, checking the firewall settings, and today i came across tron script. After using tron script and rkill to try and stop the virus, i still am not sure if the virus is still there or not. I watched a youtube video to install it, which i know is a bit frowned upon here, but i just cant understand anything written in the documentations. So i am asking for someone to help me find out if i deleted the rat or not?

Help, please. I left Tron working at night, when I woke up I saw that it had installed "Malwarebytes" and it did not uninstall it as happened to many, what do I do?

Hi Everyone, I have entered my details in the file for the email settings, but it says error not sending. how can I run the included .exe to diagnose what is causing the issue, and just try to send a test mail, instead of having to run the whole Tron script again.

COMMENTS ON THE LATEST UPDATES OF TRON

  1. FIRSTLY THE MALWAREBYTES IS NOT UP TO DATE. I AM NOT QUITE SURE THAT IT ACTUALLY WORKS AS WELL AS THE LATEST.
  2. WHY IS AVIRA NOT ON THERE????
  3. THE NEWEST TRON DOES NOT COME WITH THE ADDED BENEFITE OF SERIOUSLY WIPING AWAY MY HISTORY ON ALL MY BROWSERS. IT SURE WAS A BENEFIT BACK IN THE DAY TO KNOW THAT I COULD SERIOUSLY JUST EMPTY A PC OF ALL SILLY. AND COOKIES... MAYBE THE CHOICE TO USE THIS BENEFIT SHOULD BE RETURNED...

Can tronscript brick your PC?

I read on somewhere that this happened to person (I don´t know the veracity of this tho) and I wanted to ask if there is a chance for that to happen since my windows has been acquired "freely"(if you know you know)

Why do you revert a previous version of Wiki?

The old wiki was more extensive and explanatory, why has it been reverted to an earlier version?

What's the deal around this?

Why is this being promoted as a fix-one-it all stop for malware?

All it does is;

  • Creating system restore points
  • Cleaning temporary files
  • Removing bloatware
  • Running antivirus scans
  • Performing system repairs
  • Installing Windows updates
  • Disk optimization

How is this a savior tool?

Tronscript causes BSOD every time I start up my device.

I installed tronscript via the https link at first, but windows defender alerted 3 times about it being malicious. I read a comment saying the torrent version doesn't do that and it indeed didn't. Anyway, ran windows update before running the script, restarted the PC to make sure there are no pending updates, ran the self-extacting .exe and copied tron.bat and the resources folder to the desktop and ran tron.bat as admin. The program seemed to ran correctly until the disinfect state, at which point it complained alot about (what imo) are false-positives about my hosts files (some domains are there because of piracy), then my PC suddenly restarted (a restart that btw, took much longer than usual) and opened my desktop, after 2 seconds I got BSOD and PC restarted, this happened 3 times until I was thrown to the recovery screen and now I DK what to do.

For your context: this probably didn't happen because of a problem that existed before or a virus. I ran tronscript because of a problem with my keyboard (that sometimes pressed Ctrl randomly). I probably should've skipped the disinfect step, but I said to my self that who knows, it can't hurt the PC. Which it did.

What should I do? How can I fix the problem, recover my data and optionally also provide logs for you to diagnose and hopefully fix it in future versions?

the program is not moving forward

the program crashes in phase 3 with the following writing:

Tron is not stalled here, this portion just takes a long time

Errors abouut"SHUTTING DOWN" are safe to ignore

I waited more than 6 hours but everything remained unchanged

MS Excel AutoSave functionality no longer works

MS Excel AutoSave functionality no longer works. It throws an error about Privacy settings (see screenshot below). Now, I've tried many different things (like uninstalling and reinstalling Office 365 and OneDrive.) but it won't come back. I believe this has to do with OneDrive being limited in some way, since this functionality is only available on Excel if OneDrive is up and running well. Would you be able to give some hints on what settings could I turn back related to OneDrive or Excel or Privacy settings in this regard? Any help is appreciated. 

EDIT [SOLUTION]: I solved it by going into the Windows Registry Editor and changing the following values. If they are not present you need to create them:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\office\16.0\common\privacy]
"disconnectedstate"=dword:00000001
"usercontentdisabled"=dword:00000001
"downloadcontentdisabled"=dword:00000001
"controllerconnectedservicesenabled"=dword:00000001

Would love to Use Tron and assist me with the computers I manage, Is anyone here an expert that I can ask questions.

  1. A couple of times it comes up that I dont have .NET installed.... if it's not installed, I feel as though everything finishes really quick. What programs are dependent on this being installed? Is it only the McAfee Stinger scan?

It works kind of

I have the annoying audio virus, when I run Tron it works but after I run all things individually I cannot search anything even when I right click. When I shut down or restart the computer the damn audio virus which opens many hidden MS Edge pages I cannot see unless I open up task manager..I hope I do not have to reload the windows.

Tron stuck on certain step

Hello, this is my first time running Tron.

I follow the instructions,

  1. FIRST THINGS FIRST: REBOOT THE COMPUTER BEFORE RUNNING TRON. This is to allow any pending updates to finish. If you don't do this and the computer reboots during Tron with pending updates, it can brick the system. To re-iterate: It is very important to reboot the computer before running Tron.

  2. Copy tron.bat and the \resources folder to the DESKTOP of the target machine

  3. Tron can be run with Windows in either Safe Mode or Regular mode. Regular mode is generally recommended for a first go around.

  4. Right-click on tron.bat and select "Run as Administrator"

And then it's stuck on

Loading...

Updating SMART drive database, please wait...

Done.

Detecting disks...

I understand this might take 3-10 hours, but I thought I need to click "scan" for it to start in first place. It's been 1 hour and stuck on this.

What should I do?

Can I use my device when the tronscript is in progress?

So, I downloaded the tronscript from the links provided in this sub coz I was sure my device got infected by some malware. So, now it got stuck at "Image Version: 10.0.22631.4169", other people on this sub says it can take some hours, So my question is can I use my device while it is running?

Thanks Vocatus + Kapersky Question

I’m a bit of an idiot when it comes to computer stuff, a friend once told me about a way to get free textbooks and I had a field day. This inevitably led to me picking up a virus and dealing with endless pop ups. I decided to use Tron to get it fixed since I’m a broke student and didn’t want to splurge on repairs or antivirus, and it worked like a charm.

I just wanted to post a success story as a way of saying thanks because I can’t swing a donation. I do also have a quick question: given what I’ve heard about Kapersky (that it masquerades as some ambiguous antivirus software), would it be wise to rerun Tron with Kapersky disabled? Or would that be meaningless in terms of removing the disguised Kapersky software that may or may not already be there from previously running Tron?

My apologies if this is a time-waster of a question, my understanding of how Tron really works is only half formed. Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this project you guys are unsung heroes.

OK spec computer no longer useable

I have a an i5 with 32gb ram and 1T SSD running windows 11 24H2. It is running so slow that it is almost unusable. I’m 60+, had to take early retirement. I cannot afford to dump this and buy a new one or get a tech guy. Is Tron script safe enough for me to run? Taken me an hour to get this message here. It has always had AV, Norton Security. Have run power eraser. And all SW up to date.
