    [HELP]Accidentally accessed random website that I think it's infected with malwares


    So I was trying to access ****.com yeah I know, it's a **** site then suddenly I put a C letter on it so it's cxvideos.com instead of ****.com then it runs me thru severals websites I know because the bar where you typed what sites you're trying to access is changing into a few random websites and then it stop at londonpost.com showing a random video and that's it I closed it.When I check the web in ssltrust.com.au a random web checker that I found by looking on Google says that cxvideos.com is infectedMy question is how do you check your home network whether or not infected by malware, vi

    [HELP] I think I'm infected with UNKNOWN malware/virus

    I just have some few questions.

    • So I need to back up all my files in other partition because I should delete all partitions and make it as one?
    • Is it good if I back them up on a cloud so I can assure that there will be no virus? (If you guys know some free and good cloud services what is it? I prefer huge capacity cloud *Biggrin )
    • Does my pre-installed Norton will be retrieved? because this is PC is bundled with licensed norton.
    • And lastly, what if the installation asks for Product license key? I bought this PC in a huge flat box package with charge inside some manuals with free bag, and I don't seem to see a license key of it. They said it is already a lifetime license. :3

    [HELP] I think I'm infected with UNKNOWN malware/virus

    I have a newly bought laptop, an Acer Aspire E 15. What that lead me to think that I'm infected is because when I tried to visit my Windows folder (because I was searching for 'SystemApps' folder to disable Cortana) I saw random weird files with random names and all of the are 1KB only.

    [HELP]Accidentally accessed random website that I think it's infected with malwares 182871d1522436321t-help-i-think-im-infected-unknown-malware-virus-capture-2.png


    I have not done anything yet. I have an Avast Free installed and a Norton pre-installed when I bought it.
    Please help me.

    NOTE:
    I don't want to reformat it, I was traumatized on windows update, I don't want to download updates that took 2 days making my laptop unusable because of resource hog of windows updates.

    EDIT:
    I tried to delete them and checked them every time if they will return and they did not so I stopped checking it but a little while ago, they appeared again.

    Help with malware infection?

    I have been infected by malware that has taken management rights on Edge. I also keep seeing notifications for “universal browser” updates. I went in my computer’s registry and deleted one suspicious file and have found a thing in ExtensionInstallForcelist called “1” with “Data” of random letters. I cannot modify it in any way. Help would be greatly appreciated.
