Windows 10: I have had a rat on my pc..

So funny enough the attacker wanted me to know he ratted me, so he put a racist message in the middle of my screen using terminal, and it popped up every time i restarted my pc. I did a virus and threat protection scan, and it showed a virus Trojan:Win32/Kepavll!rfn and claims its very serious and executes commands from an attacker.

How to Remove RAT

I'm not sure if these Revenge-RAT v0.3 file detections have anything to do with what you are having:

What is this exe file? Is this file safe? Check here

When you're clicking on the red "Not trusted" you'll see more details and also links to respective VirusTotal scans.

Suggestion to run the Emsisoft Emergency Kit, see item 3 here:
List of Malware Removal Tools

Perhaps it's best to ask for free expert help in a specialized forum, see i.e. here:

• Preparation Guide For Use Before Using Malware Removal Tools and Requesting Help - Virus, Trojan, Spyware, and Malware Removal Help

Might be best to do a clean reinstall, please do read through

the device name for my windows 11 computer ends in RAT why?

Dear missingnovirus

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I understand that the name of your current computer ends in RAT and you are concerned about whether that ending means that your computer's security is in question.



A device name ending in "RAT" on a Windows 11 computer may not indicate tampering or any security threat. It is most likely a randomly generated name assigned by the system during initial setup or by the manufacturer when the device was built.



Windows devices often come with default or randomly generated names that may not have any specific meaning. The name "RAT" may be part of a system-generated name sequence, and it is not uncommon for users to encounter such names on their devices.



You can change the device name to something more meaningful or personalised by following these steps:

1. Press Windows Key + I to open the Settings application.
   
2. Go to System and select System Information from the left menu.
   
3. Click Rename this PC and enter the desired name for your computer.
   
4. Click Next, and then click Restart Now to apply the changes.
   

By performing these steps, you can change the name of the device to a name that is more appropriate or relevant to you, and it will no longer end in "RAT".

I hope you find the above information helpful, if my description does not match your reality or if you have questions please let me know in a reply.



Thanks for your patience and understanding!

My pc got ratted?

Hello guys,

Since the past 3 months i see some suspect moves in my pc. I dont know if it is just a simple virus or rat file. Anyways i would like someone to tell me how i can find out if my pc has a rat file and also how i can remove it.

What makes me curious about this is that sometimes, when my pc screensaves has turned on, after a couple minutes the screen of the desktop displays normaly again but without me being moving my mouse or pressing any key on the keyboard. Also sometimes when i
turn off my pc it takes more time to turn off than usual.
