turn off auto reconnect, make sure bios settings reflect said off state as some settings put it in a waiting for "wake" signal as a default.

I would just have done a clean install of Windows depending on how much junk I may have on it. That gets all of the malware unless it is Logofail. Also in that command was the wallet address the crypto miner was using. I don't like crypto mining but I do know that much anyhow. Unless it is gone from the computer it will just run again next time Windows starts. More advanced versions might check it to see if it is running and restart it. This not only steals from you but you might notice the CPU or graphics card running hotter if you monitor or you may notice your fans running louder than usual, even when the system is supposedly idle.

@@Myself-yh9rr Thats smart. Personally I would arduiously skim system32 and probe the whole windows file system, while letting some random indian guy on youtube guide me through it. And then pretend im smart after lol.

Microsoft never said they were doing it right lol 😂

That's because modern window *is* malicious spyware

@@kristopherleslie8343 No one brought up what Microsoft did or didn't say pea brain... lol 😂

Yeah, and the svchost in windows is like xinetd in linux. The difference being the latter is far easier and you can tell exactly what it does or what you let it do, based on easy and simple text configs, so it's much much safer. Windows svchost... I have no idea what it executes or if there is a way to manage it.

@@stan22677 Wrong. After Windows 7 there has not been a new operating system by Microsoft. Windows 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 are not operating systems, they are apps built on the Windows Mobile platform. Microsoft has preprogrammed backdoors into every one of their operating systems and apps to allow hackers, advertisers, and government agencies to use. Sure the hackers side wasn't intentional, but having 1 open backdoor into the system invites them in. The security updates you speak of block the old holes and open new holes. It takes the average malicious user roughly 1 hour to rewrite their code after an update is released to use the new holes. All they do is open up the security update files and locate the new holes. So before trying to belittle someone, maybe you should get your facts straight. Nothing Microsoft has made since Windows XP is safe and secure for the average consumer.

I had windows installations trash itself on my desktop for no reason and can't tell if it's windows or a virus at this point. Even work laptops with fresh Windows installs gets bugged out at times. Pd: Tried several virus scans in the past (Kaspersky rescue disk, emsisoft emergency kit, malwarebytes to name a few) but nothing comes out of it.

@@zNoah Something similar happened to me, in my case it was the keyboard, the delete key became defective to the point that it would activate by itself, so anything that i had selected at the time would get deleted, to "solve" this i disabled the key using a program that made the key useless.

Yup I remember the time I got my friends PC hacked when I was 12 like it was yesterday. Had to have the diablo II maphack so of course I downloaded it, the screen turned blue then someone typed "Hello, how's your day going?"

@@James-uk4xiah hell naw💀… what happened after that ?

@@youngjrr I said "Hey Deven, I think your computer just got hacked." He came over, took one look and hit the power button. I left to go do something else, then came back a couple days later and he had installed a virus free maphack for me.

Me is a targeted induvidual. The government is following me.

You think glasswire firewall prevents stuff like this? It stops bs microsoft apps from connecting.

I’m bored. What’s your IP?

@@johnmadsen37 You're asking the wrong question. Millennial. If you're bored and want something to do, you should give me your IP. Are you 100% sure you want my IP?

highly recommended Man even for average user

How old is your pc btw? If it's more than 2+ yrs old, and there's no malware, it might be just be your PC getting close to warranty.

@@R.K_Chalkboard omg, imagine a pc with 2 years already dieing lol

Are your graphics drivers updated?

my pc is 7 years old it has a 9 year old proccesor its i3-4130 and i have my old nvidia gt 640 2gb vram edition installed btw my thermal paste has not been changed since when i had my pc the proccesor was plugged in my pc since when it came and my cpu is acting strange i am getting glitchy screens at a rare case anyone know what i have to do i do not want to spend any money to upgrade it should i install another os? right now i have windows 10 which os should i install then?

@@MLPFAN_isLost First thing to do imo is open task manager when it happens, if anything is at 100% usage then that's where your issue is from(alot of causes for high usage of X)

You can see the company name in task manager, by right clicking on the process type on the top and clicking “Publisher”. But that won’t matter if a hacker hijacks an official process.

@@memememeson3994 funny tangential fact. when microsoft finds an exploitable bug in windows, they report to NSA first instead of fixing it.

@@udittlamba why would they do that? This doesn't seem like correct information. Microsoft discovers a vulnerability they are going to fix it asap. Why tell the NSA? It's not like they can weaponize the vulnerability. It will be patched.

"Finds" is an interesting verb to use in that sentence. Unless by finds you meant 'implements' and keeps them in place for half decades until they become a mainstream exploit.@@udittlamba

It's kinda like saying "Criminals don't have access to guns" And then be shocked when a Felon pulls a glock on someone. Criminals don't give a shit about who forbids what xD They'll do whatever it takes to steal your stuff.

Take her pc away

@@Emily_Bondevik_Official Yeah right

@@Emily_Bondevik_Official the ultimate uno reverse card

Create another account for her with limited access.

Buy her a Mac , windows is trash

XD

Thats smart af

Clever

Some of them are probably smart enough to know when you have the actual window pulled up.

did you found the program he's using to monitor the processes?

Do you think that completely deleting Windows and reinstalling it will remove any viruses?

@@User-jr7vf Yes. Although as Mark Russinovich said in one of his malware talks. You shouldn't have to. You can clean a system without wiping Windows.

Your browser traffic is already encrypted.

Well probably the best move you can make is by switching to either MacOS or Linux

@@seansingh4421even a chromebook and chromebox would be better. Using any of the above would be the #1 thing.

@@seansingh4421 “singh” Go back to India 😂

depends how much if its only bump up to 20% or less its normal

@@ivo3598 It bumps up to 80-90% very often and system is using all of it

Or you just fully move to Linux, where no system process can run without a root password.

There is a thing called Resource Manager,

@@Mario583a what you are saying exists in all of windows versions(you could see a version of a recource manager in windows 7 as well ) , but do you know anyone who would have such a huge bulky thing *always enabled* on their monitor ??? that's what i argued in what PC Securiy channel said , *he said that a sophisticated malware can recognise whenever the resource manager is being opened , so it hides itself when that happens* . What i'm saying is about a very small (takes very little space on the top-corner of the monitor) but super-useful gadget that existed until windows 7 , which anyone could afford to have it *ALWAYS-ON* ,and it could be used for a very quick glimpse to check if everything is normal in your system recources . You had the option to have that gadget always on ,permanent , while what you say has to be re-activated with every PC-restart , besides the fact that it's not practical to have it always on (very bulky as i said ,i don't know many people who would chose to have something like that always enabled on their monitor ... do you have that always on ? *that's what i argued in the first place* ... the always-on part ... )

It doesn't come with Windows, so this isn't a direct answer, but Process Explorer effectively serves that purpose (at least the way I use it); I have it auto-load into the taskbar tray on boot and sit there showing system resource graphs all the time. PSA: Use Process Explorer. It's much more useful than Task Manager.

@@maynnemillareslinux is not beginner friendly

How did you know your pc was infected in the first place then?

@@Adama.1 Performance dips while running games that did not dip before and lag on startup I don't know for *certain* that's what it was, but it's the only explanation I've found that makes sense

Damn this guy was really thankful.

Hey, that's really cool! If it's free and there's a whitelist function (to always allow my PC to connect to discord, steam, google, youtube, etc.), I can see myself using it. Thanks for letting people know! Edit: it's paid, but there's a lite version where you can still tell what's going on, so I'll most surely use that

Same does Windows Firewall Control, add-on for Windows Firewall to make it easier to manage. Also can prevent injection of unwanted firewall rules

windows firewall doesnt block connections to microsoft.@@Panocek

yes so get norton
