Hi! 4 days ago I downloaded an app from an ad site because I thought it’s the app I looked up in the first place. So, I tried to run it by WinRar but AVAST! Antivirus blocked and quarantined it and I got 4 errors (yellow ! sign). Can I still have malware? My pc has never been acting up but I’m very concerned. I changed my passwords but today I made an online banking transaction by PayPal but it didn’t show anything. I ran a microsoft safety scanner yesterday, 2 files were found and removed but I run one now and it says 57 files infected (partially removed it say) only in C disk and it recommen Continue reading...

Hi, I have legal copies of Windows 10, Skyrim SE, and Vortex (a mod manager 4 the Nexus.) Windows Defender is not letting me load: 1. 'Gamebryo Plugin Management' or 2. 'Gamebro Bsa Support' extensions in Vortex. (Yes, I did include Vortex on the exclusions list.)

registry & group policies changed to allow remote user all privilege over private windows 10 using backdoor trojan
by Guest Jason Erickson1- 0 replies

I have windows 10 Home just recently updated to Windows 10 pro, but it does no good. I haven't encrypted because I have a remote user that has made it so I can't reset my pc, perform a clean installation. Everything is as if I'm part of an organization and don't have any administrative rights over my computer. They have gained access to all my other devices as well, through my computer. I have found a large amount of my registry is corrupted, infected. I googled some of the names of the registry because it doesn't look right & some of it's in Chinese or Japanese & answers come back as Continue reading...

I was concerned when I restarted my computer and, among the list of apps that needed to close to begin the restart, was an app named "bubblegum" (no caps) with the same app logo as the SecureW2 Tray app (two conjoined red circles with the white letters W and 2 within). I don't remember installing this app. Could this be a virus? I've found literally 0 information on the internet about a Windows 11 app named bubblegum. Please let me know what other information is required to help answer this question. Continue reading...

When I right click on my Desktop it shows: "Storage full- get more" and for some reason my OneDrive is full too. Also, in settings, when I view my storage, it says I have 225GB remaining.

Windows Sandbox and Windows Defender
by Guest DarrylBrown1- 0 replies
- 36 views
I know there is a procdure for activating this, and I have done this several times over, yet everytime I reopen the sandbox software, the option for real time protection is greyed out. It's also hidden from the security tab, and I have to manually search for it every single time, and it's the same result every single time. All I want to do is test real-time protection on sandbox and I've entered the cmd so many times but nothing works and it's driving me nuts. And yes I have run cmd prompt as admin when entering "setx /M MP_FORCE_USE_SANDBOX 1". Still doesn't work. I've also updated to the lat Continue reading...

Hello I wanted to start a discussion post about docker containers and other containers that can run in a hybrid virtualized environment.

Some containers are not invasive however how are they compartmentalized within the Windows file system?Are approved use or signed containers needed?I currently have been having issues with non approved containers being installed, however they are encrypted so the W Continue reading...
