    Possible malware issue


    Hi.Starting just a few hours ago, I have a problem with a report from my antivirus Avast that I am trying to connect to an infected site. I am NOT trying to make a connection. In fact, the be sure that I didn't have some accidental connection connecting from memory, I RESTARTed my laptop Win 11, fully up to date. .About 10 minutes after restating, I got a new Avast warning. My browser normally Firefox was closed and I hadn't opened it since restarting. The Avast warning reads: : "Threat secured.

    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.

    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.
