Windows 10: MultiVector Hijack of my OS disregards formatting via winPE and driver binary coinstallers

All my important data has been backed up to hard drives that are kept offline.


My goal is to format my computer and install the correct drivers, as well as delete and wipe any data that comes from or could be inherited from data present in drive X:\.


Up untill now I have:

- Flashed CMOS

- Installed both Linux and windows systems both in safe mode using administators priviledges from built-in admin and as a blind installnot using my license and using my license.

- installed and activated premium versions of bitdefender, glary utilities, malwarebytes, ccleaner, premium purchased kapersky Internet security, all to no avail.


I believe this is a virus i caught from my roommate who spread it to me via the lan network, as he has it too now, and timestamps indicate he had it before me.


THE VIRUS

Basically theres a uefi shell with drivers signed version 0.0 with locations as PCI adapters that autoinstall because of binary coinstallers that activate when a traditionnal driver is installed in an expected location. This in turn installs the extended EFI shell that hosts a variety of tools and populates the X drive with a ton of malware that installs every time I format, makes my main administrator account lose all his rights and accesses over all the files in my pc, and it happens faster if i activate the built-in administrator rights or a version of linux that ofcourse requires online access.


The very ethernet adapter it installs seems to be a proxy of some kind and it installs support for vpn service called toast as well as a zillion firewall rules. Ive identified WinPE WinRE WinSxS are all part of whats being used to create network shares and remote admin connections against my will. What can I do to protect my network, my ISP wont return my calls!

Laptop driver/reformat question

This is excellent advice. Writing down the list of installed devices prior to re-formatting will save you a lot of heartache. With that list, you won't have to try to figure out exactly which wireless card or web cam driver you need since there will likely be several to choose from.
