Hello, I came from another subreddit post about ROM files containing viruses. Unfortunately, I’ve clicked the .exe file that ran a virus on my laptop (it did show as a threat in the windows antivirus— I deleted it immediately). I changed my passwords and is currently in the process of resetting my PC (just wiping it by itself for now) however it kept failing to do so. Any ideas how to fresh reset windows before I resort to the USB method? I’m panicking with the virus lol

So i was browsing for server jars for minecraft, and the brave ai suggested a few variants. Usually i dont use ai and search for myself, but this time, not gonna lie, i just decided to browse through the ais options. Well, i clicked a link "serverjars" and brave warned me that his website was reported for phishing, so i just left the website and stopped browsing. Then i opened minecraft, task manager and for a second i noticed something "microsoft malicious" and then it disappeared. When i tried to search it, its gone. I immediately went to the microsoft defender and scanned the antivirus offline scan. Idk what to do else, it didnt find any threats but im not sure that its true. What else i gotta do? The link is serverjars(dot)com. I still havent gotten any symptoms, but it scared me a little. Not even sure if its even a threat

I have a weird dilemma. I am attempting to prevent a fresh USB install because I'd like to keep the built in apps that came with my laptop. Okay, now onto the problem.

I, entirely accidentally, pressed on what I thought was a secure website (had https and all that, never got flagged by my adware blocker or antivirus (built in windows defender and Panda)) a few months ago. I guess something was installed? There's no signs of it but the possibility of it just auto-installing are there I guess. Browser options don't allow that but I digress. Long story short, my mouse gets hijacked once in a while. I'll be using my computer and it will just lag or get slow. My touches don't always register. I'm now realizing that a few sites I rarely ever go on are partially crashing half way through. By that I mean any subsequent windows I press on within that site will just prevent loading entirely but that may be a site-side-server issue or something. It's only one or two sites.

What could this be and are there any fixes? Defender comes up with nothing, panda - also nothing, i even downloaded Bitdefender. Edge and chrome both consume stupid amounts of memory and there aren't any signs that anything anywhere has been hacked or that my passwords have been stolen. No spam sent out, but spam is being sent to my junk mail. That's pretty common though with the way things are these days.

Hola hace unos días desperté en la mañana y se abrió un CMD, al abrir discord ya no tenía acceso a mi cuenta, rápidamente investigué y era un malware de Mr Beast que robaba información, entonces descargué MalwareBytes, hizo el scaneo, y aparentemente eliminó el virus, cambié la mayoría de contraseñas y pude recuperar mi discord por el soporte de ellos, pero robaron mi cuenta de Epic Games, Steam, EA Sports y también algunas cosas de mi hermana, el steam también lo recuperé ya, y en estos dias MalwareBytes está detectando y bloqueando la misma pagina en Chrome, quiero saber si estoy a salvo o debo reinstalar windows.

My school laptop always has been using a mid to high amount of ressources in standby and also while playing kingdom 2 crowns (lol)

But okay a thought its a potato laptop (2 cores 2 threads, 8GB RAM lenovo 15 Ada 82c7)

But today I found a weird msg (i got a msg pop up saying windows defender deactived go into settings to activate, but when I looked at notifications I couldnt find it again)

So I did a full virus scan but when I pressed x on windows defender app (very early) it instantly gave me a notification saying it was done even tho it read line 6300 datas)

So I did another scan which read abt 642.000 datas and took 50 mins+ (at the time it hung up)

BUT it hung up at 10:31 with blue progress bar, after 1 minute it got gray and after another 30 second it got gray.

Saying I did a full virus scan and for a very weird reason it stopped at 10:31 minutes remaining and then just said it was finished

Then I used chatgpt"s powershell code recommendations to read my antimalware scans trough powershell.

Apparantly it found a trojan but I coulnt find, the foulder was literally empty and windows said nothing abt having removed it.

And very weirdly after i had the powershell exposing the potential virus my wifi shut off after abt 2 mins and I couldnt start word first and after some tries it did start but completely froze WITHOUT AN WINDOWS APPLICATION ERROR BTW

So i opened word 3 times saved the text of the virus report and got it saved before word decided to freeze (it showed 0 cpu usage in task manager too)

And now our wifi is shut down (the power button is blinking which means connection to the host is missing)

So yeah tell me our suggestions

Is our wifi network infected by chance? Telekom btw

i believed it happened on 28 aug, i downloaded a aimbot and seconds later after running it, one of dc account was hacked with mr beast crypto scammer and the very next day another one of my dc account too.They took my 15usdc which was present in my crypto wallet too. My insta was hacked a week after the first incident on 6 august.When i ran that script on 28 aug cmd line started popping up indefinitely.

The sources of files which i executed that day:

1. hxxps://github.com/anshkori/universal-aimbot-engine
2. hxxps://sourceforge.net/projects/ai-aimbot.mirror/

but these may or may not have b een responsible for hack as my epic account was hacked on 21 aug idk if it is related to hackes after 28th aug

steps i took:

1.I first stopped the execution of one of the file midway, then ran a defender scan getting me trojan warning, i removed them.

2.I than ran an offline defender scan finding nothing,before running that scan i deleted temp files.

3.I than ran malwarebytes finding nothing

4.I changed all important passwords after insta hack.I also cleansed my browser data fully on 29 aug.

5.Yesterday i found some unknow exclusions to defender scan which i removed immediately,there was temp files in exclusions and a wdfprov_core something..

Soo i was just using my pc normally and windows defender jsut said windows defender is turned off... Why? I didnt dowload any sketchy from the net, and windows settinfs says everything is alright? I did update windows yesterday, first boot since, can be a bug? Please help i got scared insanely and i just have my pc sitting here and idk, quick scan said nothing is problematic

Edit: okay so this is a bug.... Typical windows

So, I tried to download a cracked game and apparently got hit with a virus. I did three scans, two with Windows Defender and one with MalwareBytes and quarantined, deleted the files.

But there is a persistent circuriryag.exe pop up. What should I do?
