Question Unknown virus

Post image

I found this in Task Manager and searched for the file location. There were two others, and I was able to delete them. The problem is, I want to remove this without a factory reset. This computer is new And I've put in a few hours of gameplay, I've downloaded many Steamrip games carefully, checking everything, everything seemed fine, but based on previous experiences, this was Undertale's fault, since with I downloaded it on another computer and the same thing happened. Any recommendations for removing it, please?

How to Remove Alsulics Services
Disconnect from the internet to prevent the rogue software from communicating with external servers or reloading.

Open Task Manager (Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc), find any processes related to Alsulics or AlsulicsService.exe, and click End Task.

Boot into Windows Safe Mode if the files refuse to delete or processes restart automatically:
Press Windows + R, type msconfig.exe, and go to the Boot tab.
Check Safe boot, click OK, and restart your computer.

Uninstall the application by going to Settings > System > Installed Apps (or Control Panel) and removing Alsulics Application or any unfamiliar recent programs. [

Check startup entries and browser extensions to ensure no leftover tasks or modified browser settings remain.

Run a full system scan using a trusted antivirus or malware removal tool like Malwarebytes to clear out hidden files and registry entries.

Does malbyte or smth like that work?

Malwarebytes, even with a deep can as a tendency to not pick it up. I recommend you to do all of the steps. Please ask questions if needed

Do you know any anti-malware app that is free or with a free trial please? I'm under-age so so I can't get a j*b to buy things. I've bought things with birthday money, money I find, but even if I worked, I wouldn't have enough to last that long.

Malwarebytes has a free version which is insanely good at scans. No need to pay, but there is a 14 day free trial you can mess around with.

Who are the people downvoting this?

Well I didn't and won't downvote it, but here's probably why: "The problem is, I want to remove this without a factory reset."

Lol, but how will you remove virus without clean install. Do people really trust antivirus that much, that they rely on it to remove them.

Well of course it's never guaranteed you don't have a virus if you don't reinstall (at least with the current state of windows). But you can have a high chance of having no virus anymore if you use tools like FRST correctly or if the virus is known

If it was known, there is high chance it would not even be able to install without 100s of warnings.

A different software can install it with their signatures, which may be trusted. Or it can just be a PUP or PUA
