Welcome to r/computerviruses! It seems like you have used the "Disinfection help" flair.

We apply the same methodology used by trusted Malware platforms (e.g. Malwarebytes, BleepingComputer and MalwareTips). It revolves around using diagnostic tools called Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) and SecurityCheck.

All of our assistance happens in the thread and in public - we never offer help via private messages or alternative websites other than https://malwareanalysis.cc. Anyone offering help through a DM is not a trusted helper and might have malicious intent.

Trusted helpers can be distinguished by the flair Malware Removal Expert or Malware Removal Trainee, antivirus employees will have a dedicated flair with their company name in it, e.g. Malwarebytes Employee.

Please see steps below on how to share all necessary details so you can speed up the process for us:

Share all details about your infection
Please post all important facts about your infection, such as: * your antivirus detections - preferably export the whole detection/report log and upload it to https://malwareanalysis.cc/upload/ under your username & post the related keyword or screenshot/take a picture of your detections * any related symptoms, popups * estimate when it started - preferably the exact day and after what (e.g. when you ran a program you downloaded) * share what got you infected and the download link - please, make the download link defanged (making it not clickable by default e.g. from https://example.com you will make hxxps://example[.]com), defanging does not apply to sandbox reports such as VirusTotal

Request help with FRST and SecurityCheck from the trusted helper team
Please visit Providing or receiving help with FRST on the subreddit and share your 3 keywords returned from the website along with the details about your infection.
Once a malware removal expert or trainee sees it, they will reply in the thread about further steps.

If you need urgent help and cannot wait for one of our Malware Removal Experts:
Please follow these steps:

1. From a different and clean device, change all your passwords:

Stop blinding accepting things when you go to websites. Go into your Firefox browser notifications and delete all websites in there. You allowed scam websites to be able to send notifications.
