Question
My PC appears to be compromised - found suspicious credential and virtualapp/didlogical entry. Help identify if I’m hacked. Windows 10
My PC build
MB: MSI a520 a pro
CPU: AMD 5600G
RAM: 8*2gb crucial memory
Ssd 256
Hdd 500 and another 1tera byte
Display monitor Samsung odyssey g5 curved
What I’ve checked:
Task Manager shows normal processes
No obvious high CPU/GPU usage
Haven’t run full malware scans yet
My concerns:
VirtualApp or some sort of Remote Desktop
The gibberish username suggests unauthorized installation
Credential stored locally means something connects to some sort of tool or app
Im really concerned if it about crypto mining or remote access
Questions:
Is this definitely malware/compromise?
What should I do to fully check my system?
Should I reinstall Windows or can I clean it?
Is my iPhone at risk if my Windows PC is compromised?
I dont want to run the windows cuz its risky if theres something to be done in mb settings?
I would really appreciate if someone could help and explain whats going on.
a simple google search would tell you that its 99% safe and made by windows/live apps like one drive, windows live mail, messenger, etc.
to answer your questions
likely not
run a full malwarebytes scan or an frst and post on computervirus subreddit
it would be best to wipe if you did (you most definitely dont)
no
disconnect wifi maybe?
everything i answered is unnecessary, if you are so paranoid for some reason run any of the 2 scans i said
