  1. Probably a virus. HELP!


    So, I torrented something, and immediately afterwards, my PC started to slow down. That's why I figured that I probably have a crazy virus because my C: SSD drive is suddenly filled up to the point where there's only 200 MB left when there was 65 GB before. I check the properties of the folders. All of a sudden, the program files are smaller than they actually should be, so it's hard to tell where the majority of the capacity is coming from. I tried to restore my computer to a previous time, but Windows is telling me that it couldn't successfully restore, which makes me think that the virus is getting in the way. Help. How can I get rid of this thing? I tried MalwareBytes. It detected 5 trojan viruses and apparently quarantined them, but I'm still having the same problem. Is there another way I can force restore outside of the extreme?

    :)

    Help With Choosing Anti-Virus Software

    Hey guys

    I would like to know what some of the best anti virus programs are.

    I am currently running NOD32 and the Nvidia firewall (came with mobo) and I find they slow down my games (singleplayer)

    The guys over in the gaming threads suggested to just disable them while playing but I'm not sure I want to just in case you know.

    So yeah bassically if you could give me some suggestions for anti virus and I will probably go back to using the windows firewall instead.

    Clean the Virus

    Hi,

    Virus infection usually happens on a computer when it is exposed to an infected website or removable devices. For us to help you clean the malware on your device, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build and version of Windows are you using?
    • Did you encounter any error messages related to having a virus infection on your device?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest running any available antivirus software on your PC. It would be very helpful to us if you could also provide the result of the antivirus scan process.

    Looking forward to your response.
