    Can a malware "jump" in network from one PC to another?


    I have one PC where I'm running some tests and probably is infected is sort of stuff (I install suspicious stuff there before using them on my main computers)

    But are malwares today sophisticated enough to "jump" through the network from the infected PC to other PCs on the network?

    Thanks

    :)

    Did our Epson printer get hacked?

    Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    Can a malware "jump" in network from one PC to another?

    cannot turn off jump list

    Hi Rohit,

    To address this concern, we suggest that you follow these steps on how to turn off the Jump Lists on Windows 10:

    • Go to Start menu, search Settings, then press
      Enter.
    • Click Personalization.
    • Select Start.
    • Turn off the Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or taskbar.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards.
