    Virus, Bot, Malware, Etc?


    Good morning!

    I work in an office with 4 people. We are all connected to the Internet via Ethernet cables but also have WiFi. We have one particular computer/login that has been giving us issues and pulling down our connectivity speed. Basically, going from 24-26mbps to 1-2mbps when this computer is connected to the Ethernet cable.


    This problem actually started about 3 months ago. When it first occured we thought it was the actual Internet connection. However, through 2 service calls and techs out to our office we determined that it was this one computer. We decided that maybe this computer had a virus (although when Microsoft scans were run it showed nothing wrong - no virus, malware, etc. found). The computer was older and so we decided to just cut losses and purchase a new desktop.


    The new Dell Desktop came and she has been up and running with no problem until Monday. The Internet Speeds plummeted again.


    When I asked her what she may have downloaded it didn't seem like there was anything. However, we did determine that she had downloaded an Adobe product. So, I uninstalled the last few updates. Still the problem persists.


    I ran the scans on the computer again. Nothing shows up. I am at a loss as to what to do. If her computer is unplugged from the Internet all of the others work great and no speed problems. As soon as she is reconnected...slooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.


    She is running Windows Home 10, Version 1809.


    Any ideas?


    Thanks,

    Amy

    :)

    Is it a Virus or a Malware or something else?

    Hello Joes,

    There's a possibility that your device is infected with a malware causing why you're unable to delete the game on your laptop. In order for us to assist you better, we'd like to ask the following:

    • Aside from formatting the hard drive, what other troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    • Have you asked your friend where did he download the games?

    To identify if your computer is infected with a virus or malware, we recommend downloading and running
    Microsoft Safety Scanner. The scanner can easily detect if there's any virus found on your device. To do so, follow the steps on this
    link.

    We are looking forward to your reply.
