Fixed it offline.
well
i didn't have much time to think i guess
Fair point.
so i just unplugged on this last task
i just saw that a cmd prompt finished installing some super admin remote control
Mhm. I hate computers.
i actually thought that i unplug it
sideinstall a antivirus
and let it run
but as soon as it was connected to the internet again, it tried to run the same stuff in taskmanager
so i just said fuck it, save the last downloaded porns and wipe
never experienced something aggressive as that
i also thought it was a simple download tool
chip.de for example provides a p2p download tool which increases your download speed while asking you to install minor adware
but this one.. dunno what i downloaded at that time
instantly installed various malicious services
As far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as a download accelerator.
The only way to accelerate your downloads is stick a better cable between the computer and network.
well. downloading p2p does accelerate if multiple people are on the botnet
Yeah, there's that with p2p.
it works on various mmorpg launchers
yeah there are huge grey areas on the interwebz
but i learned from it
don't download shady download manager
There sure are. I'm sure an obscene amount of shit online is just russian scam pages you shouldn't use.
i think the last time i got a computer disabling virus was 10 years ago
on winXP
i still prefer to run my pc without anti virus
Back when Windows had all its neat little security problems to exploit.
even after this incident
Yeah, AV is a waste of resources.
also the unecessary information gathering pisses me of
"huh you're praying gaem? let me block the anti-cheat and check various files of the game directory to slow down your loading speeds"
Gotta know e v e r y t h i n g about you in order to ~~sell the info to advertising companies~~ provide the highest quality service.
the only anti virus which helped me in some cases was spybot
it's also the only one which kindly asks about donations
and doesn't force popup windows against you
Microsoft's got its own av that doesn't harass you, fyi.
you mean defender?
