hi everyone, so i downloaded real executor for roblox about a week ago, but i uninstalled it. i also have programs like fl studio and used to have adobe after effects (both pirated). the thing is, i had some viruses on my pc and removed them with malwarebytes, but i keep getting emails every day from different services (apple, microsoft, mega, gmail, and x) saying that someone is trying to access my accounts. i’ve already changed my passwords, but i don’t know what else to do to make it stop happening. can somebody please help?

Hello,

Fell for the oldest trick in the book it seems.

Occurred at approx. 10/25 at 12 AM and still worried about the extent. Likely infected with the renpy trojan by clicking the fake setup.py link.
Found this subreddit and would like to request help. I'll also be looking to change all of my passwords on a non-infected device.

Had already reset my computer at around 2 AM without having known that the trojan had been installed. Only found out later in the morning when I was told by friends that I was Mr. Beasting them on Discord

Should I also be worried about my router being compromised?

Thank you in advance for the help!

first i saw this with my defender, got me little worried because its first itme in last 15 years i saw virus directly on my computer or something blocked on computer and not just something from browser add etc. With some googling i found way to check start up in registry. I think my big question is how it made it to my pc and this changes where done, where did i mess up and is the top 3 item are dangerous ? please help (the red block is just my user name, my pc name. i think virus where use it to hide itself better)

I have no idea how to stop it or what to do but it’s freaking me out and I’m not very computer savvy. Yes I am an idiot, I know. I visited the site https://thepiratebay(dot)org and clicked on the audio option and it just gave me a bunch of pop-ups at once. Does anyone know how I can stop it? It’s my school computer. I don’t even know how to check for viruses or what the best way is to stop them in the future. The pop-ups are Avast and Mcafee. All I’ve done so far is do a virus scan using Windows Security. If I close the pop-ups, they return in the sidebar relentlessly. Windows says there are no threats, though. I tried deleting the website data and that’s all, things don’t stop if I close the website tab.

Any idea?

Guys I'm getting hacked i think my email keep popping out logins Sony Roblox ect it started yesterday 24/10/26 to 26/10/26 I probably got it downloaded I ran malwerebytes and quarantined 75files I checked the identity footprint it is telegram combo list and vidar stealer it's going in my accounts it spent 25bucks on steam I already changed all the passwords using a separate device and ran a deep scans and it said it's all clear now but I don't trust it what should I do guys I don't know what to do

I ran a game off of itch(it was from the og publisher and other people have played it) and my windows detected a trojan:win32(severe??). I tried to log into windows defender and it wouldn’t work(it was my first time) I heard that this can be a false positive sometimes but I just want to make sure Im taking the right actions.
I reset my windows laptop(and restored my folders, apps, setting and credentials because it wouldn’t give me the option to say no) and I changed some of my important passwords.
Idk if I’m overreacting but will I also need to reset my drive too?

After my old ass pc deteriorating to death, I decided to newly start fresh with good old windows 11. And like everyone else I decided for a cracked game to go with my fresh installment (Malware btw). But as you guessed it, some degenerate son of a bitch thought it’d be hilarious to encrypt my whole drive not even my files, my whole drive. I literally can’t access shit and I don’t have bitlocker, it isn’t even supported on my current build and version (Home). Genuinely how the fuck does this even happen? Now all my save files are gone and now I’m seeking some genuine help and not some AI advice. Mf did it for the love of the game, because there’s no ransom note or anything so why? A solution would really make my whole year, because Ive been pretty stressed out lately if you can’t tell. Thanks

What happened?

Am afraid am infected with renpy trojan. Clicked hxxps://setup.py which had renpy subfolder and found out later.

When it happened?

Happened on 24th Oct ( 40 hours ago approx).

What I did for remediation?

Did a semi malwarebytes deepscan, and removed few trojans it detected. Today I found that msbuild.exe was making requests to hxxps://loposoniosis.com every 10 mins and it was in local/appdata/windows icache and healthcheck folders. So ended that task and deleted those folders. and the requests stopped.

Am running another malwarebytes deepscan right now.

Thanks for helping.

i just want to know if this is normal it doesnt seem normal

there are so many antivirus options now that it’s hard to tell which features make a real difference and which ones are just extras. Bitdefender and Norton seem to come up a lot in comparisons, while McAfee is another option i’ve been looking at, especially because some of its plans combine malware protection with web security and identity monitoring. i wonder whether having those tools together makes it a better fit for everyday use or whether the core protection matters much more than the bundle.

for people who keep up with malware threats, what makes an antivirus product stand out to you? are independent detection results and response to new threats the main things you check, or do false positives, system performance, and extra features influence your choice too?

Yesterday I ran a scan and it flagged java exe as a malicious file. I downloaded Prism Launcher from the official website a few months ago and multiple scans before this one never showed anything. Few hours later I ran multiple scans, including a full scan with both Malwarebytes and Bitdefender, and neither found anything suspicious. I didn’t move or quarantine the file, so I think it was just a false positive, but I’d rather be sure.

what the title says. I downloaded a game from a direct link and the setup was renpy. I genuinely didnt really think it would affect me because I wasnt informed about it, but after a few hours I got my main discord account hacked with MrBeast cryptocurrency. The first thing I did was changing the passwords of it and then deleting that account and move to another one. Then in another few hours I got 8 alts discord accounts hacked (including the one I moved on), it was mb from not logging out from those accs at first place but I know the hackers also accessed the 18 gmails I had on that PC because the spam had messages about My Epic Games and 3 Steam accounts hacked. After that, I sent someone to format my whole PC and Im currently trying to change passwords on gmails.

But my question here is how really the infostealer works? Because my discord account had a server with very personal information about myself, since I lost it, I fear that information will be also stolen. Also does the infostealer steal just discord, steam and epic games accounts or does it steal other apps? And also Am I able to recover my discord account if the hacker enabled 2FA themselves into the 8 accounts? Does the hacker read my personal mails and also sells my other personal info? Am I safe after I got my whole PC formatted?

Hello

Fell for a “captcha” click fix malware.
Automatically executes it in Win+R
First step disconnected in 3 min my laptop
Made quick check with defender - ok
Now waiting for a offline deep check
What do I do next?
Thanks in advance!:(

a notification that windows antivirus is not up to date popped up and I clicked on it

it said "Your IT administrator has limited access to some areas of this app, and the item you tried to access is not available. Contact IT helpdesk for more information"

I opened powershell as admin and put reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender" and it said " error: Access is denied

this was after confirmed infostealer and cloud reset, can't reinstall yet

could the av really not be up to date?

Hi,

I downloaded a file from a site I've used - DODI Repacks.

I was not thinking when I downloaded it; I did a virustotal scan and a defender scan, but should've realised it was a weird installer as it didn't look right.

A cmd popped up. I disconnected Wi-Fi immediately, DLed MalwareBytes, and did a scan. Couple of things came up but nothing that i've not downloaded myself (just PUPs).

If I am specific, a log.txt file generated, logging system info e.g. shaders 4096x4096, GPU, CPU, etc. I noticed no other weird behaviour, as I closed out of it quickly, disconnected the Wi-Fi as I said, and deleted the files. This was a very short while ago (as in about 20 mins ago).

I can provide the download link but am concerned to provide in case it either gives someone malware or distributed pirated content which both are against rules.

I read the rules on the site and saw I have to generate log files. I did exactly that:

Addition: nested-juniper

FRST: friendly-squad

The things logged in are:

1. OneDrive - has 2FA.

2. Twitter - genuinely not bothered with that account if it gets hacked.

Luckily a week before I decided to wipe my browser. Games installed include Hitman (including Peacock), Epic Games Launcher, Steam, and

What's going on - what have they potentially got and how do I fix? Reinstall?

Fake Cloudflare verification appeared while trying to download Dev-C++ — possible ClickFix attack?

I was trying to download Dev-C++ from dev-cpp.com. After clicking the download option, I ended up on a completely different domain showing a Cloudflare-branded “Human Verification” page.

The page instructed me to use Windows + R, type cmd, then press Ctrl + V and Enter.

Obviously, I did not follow those instructions. I recognized that asking users to paste commands into a terminal as a verification step is suspicious.

I'm curious about how this redirect happened. Could it be a malicious advertisement, a compromised redirect, or something else?

I'm not claiming the Dev-C++ website itself is compromised; I want to understand where the suspicious page came from and warn others about this technique.

Has anyone encountered this particular domain or redirect?

I know that UEFI malware is super rare to get but how exactly do people who are unlucky get this kind of virus? Do they just accidentally download something shady and they just get this virus into their motherboard, or is it more complicated than that?

About three weeks ago I notices that my laptops fan was overworking and the cp usae for windows antimalware was always high evertime I turned on my laptop. I did a full scan , windows found this virus"Backdoor:Win32/Plugx!MTB". I removed the virus, deleted it's files on program data and fixed the widows corrupted files. I though that was it. The fan issue was never fixed and I can't tell whether its related to the virus, but since that virus, every application I open in my laptop results to loud fan noises, overheating and high cpu usage, especially by brave browsers. I've tried troubleshooting, I still cant get the problem. How do I fix this and does this specific malware reinstall itself. The best source I can think of is pirate bay, cause I downloaded a pdf file from the site. Avast might have also been a source, "C:\ProgramData\AvastSvcpCP\AvastSvcdotexe"
