    Malware or Paranoia?


    I believe I'm watching privilege escalation happen in the Windows Event Logs but I'm not 100% sure and would love some feedback. I had Windows 10 home installed on my laptop when I started viewing my Event logs due to being locked out of a lot of the privileges, I should have had access to as an Admin of the computer. I wiped my computer and installed Windows 11 Home free upgrade but started having the same issues. The event logs seemed to have an overwhelming number of Events 4728, 4732, 4756, 4735, 4624, 4648, 1001 and 1002. I went out and bought a fresh copy of Windows 11 pro wiped my com

    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.

    Malware or Paranoia?

    Best way to remove problem Malware

    Hi There,

    I am trying to remove a bundle of Malware without success.

    There is a bundle of listed programs which I try to uninstall through the typical Control Panel effort, but they remain listed there:

    Buenosearch Toolbar
    MyPC Backup
    PC Performer
    Speed Test 127
    UnknownFile

    I was looking at this weblink which provides a 5 step process for Buenosearch alone:
    http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-bueno-search/

    Not sure how much certain guides can be trusted. One of the first things I read was to download Revo Uninstaller, and I've not heard of it so I'm not sure if it's trustworthy..........
