    Possible infected PC


    Hello Community :

    I hope someone can help,

    I have an HP Compaq 8200 PC with Microsoft Windows 10 Pro

    SCENARIO: I needed to print and send a saved document to a client, as I was searching for the document I saw a file that I did not recognize, I opened the file, IT WAS A ****, I am the only user of my password protected PC/ I definitely DO NOT DO PORN.

    Am I correct that someone has HACKED MY PC ? If so is there a link, or is someone able to tell me how to check/ and clean my PC?? Then I need to change my ANTI VIRUS PROGRAM for it looks like someone got past it.

    I hope that someone can help.

    Thank You

    Beep01

    steps taken for infected Pc's.


    I was hoping someone could give me a list of step by step instructions you use as a guide to clean virus, malware...etc. so I can keep my PC clean if it gets infected.

    thx

  3. steps taken for infected Pc's.


    Hi:

    There is no one set of "boilerplate", "cookbook" or standard steps.
    Each computer is unique.
    Each malware infection is unique.
    Proper diagnosis, cleanup and repair depends on the particular infection and the system that is infected.
    The process can be tedious and time-consuming, often requiring the use of multiple powerful tools, in the proper sequence.
    Many of them can actually damage the system if deployed improperly by untrained computer users.

    Bottom line:
    Malware cleanup is best done with *customized* support provided by trained individuals who know what tools to use and how to use them.

    There are a few folks with such expertise here at this forum (I am not one of them).
    And there are a number of reputable computer disinfection fora where trained malware removal experts provide free, custom assistance.

    Cheers,

    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.
