The issue started a few days ago. Every 5 minutes I see a pop-up by Windows Defender that a threat is detected, when I clean it, nothing happens, it comes back every time. Checked the name today and it says VirTool:Win32/ExcludeProc.D Read a few threads here saying it's a bitcoin miner and Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) will help, I've downloaded it and ran the scan, I need someone to look into the log files to detect the issue. Thanks. Continue reading...

Today Windows defender has detected Malware (HTML/Phish.refb!MTB) in VHDX file in the hyper-v host server. When checked the VHDX file is added in quarantine for action. Also in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows defender\Resource data\97 a file is present with the same size of the VHDX file. This occupied Hyper-V host machines C:\ space. VHDX file is nearly 900 GB so equivalent to 900 GB another file is created in Windows defender quarantine folder.I need to remove the quarantine file but, i am afraid removing the quarantine file will delete the original VHDX file from VMs folder.I am stuck with Continue reading...

I see traffic on my router that says it is uploading and downloading stuff and the application is Tor and BitTorrent. Are these a normal part of Windows 11? Or has my system been compromised? BitTorrent and Tor don't show up as installed applications. Defender doesn't find anything in full scan or offline scan. Nor does MalwareBytes. Last night I got a LOT of hits on my router from lots of countries trying to get into the router, it looks like. Continue reading...

So guys, for activation of Windows 7 and Office 2013, I used a CMD file to activate my products without any error. True, I did not have any error. But I knew I had to disable my antivirus software.

But the Office Activation File turned out to be malicious.I copied the code for Windows 7 from here and Office 2013 from here.The warning window of my antivirus is as follows:Now, the thing that I want to ask!Is this a real virus? Is Continue reading...
