    Anything new?

    You're right. Thank you for that insight, it's eye-opening when you realize that anyone can code those keygens, programs in their own way. I rescanned with ESET and I have quarantined/deleted everything they have found (keygens and more). Here is the SecurityCheck log. SecurityCheck.txt

    Okay, that took me some time. It has found 11 potential threats. I have verified everyone of them and 10 out of those threats seem to be fine from me. To be more specific, the screenshots I have provided show the potential threats; I have deleted permanently the last one that says it's ''Linux/LoudMiner.A Trojan'' (C:\Program Files\qemu\system). The 10 others that I have restored from quarantine are programs (.dll's) and keygens for music softwares (plugins for DAW's). Should I be concerned about those 10 files I decided to restore as they may pose a threat for malware? I also attached the ESET log file. ESET Online Scanner.txt

    Here it is. Keep in mind that I have unplugged my external hard drive (E:) when I did the full scan. msert.log

    Here it is. It seems to be have been successful.Fixlog.txt

    I've made sure to disable Malwarebytes and I proceeded to run the fix. It restarted 1-2 seconds right after I clicked on Fix and as it restarted, it didn't complete anything. I reactivated the antivirus and here is the fixlog Fixlog.txt

    Okay. I thought the C: drive was considered to be the hard drive; the main, internal hard drive. And that the D: drive was the SSD. Today, once again, after 2-3 weeks, another attempt was done on my email trying to access it, so I had to change my password. It is extremely frustrating. I will run the fix now and will give you updates.
  8. 007nice1
    Got anything interesting from it? Should I proceed for the fix.txt as is?

    The Intel SSD is the C: drive which shows 93% of health. It is not available for the D: drive.
  11. 007nice1
    I can't see the drive's health as it says it is not available. Is there any way to see its health? Should I proceed for the fix file or should I wait for further instrutions?

    Okay, thanks the both of you. I currently have only 1 external hard drive in which I could store the backup of my D: (internal) drive in it. However, in the links you've provided concerning the Backup Software thread you've posted (@AdvancedSteup), it is not recommended to leave whichever backup drive always connected, but only connect it when restoring/backing up data. That said, my external hard drive (F:) is often connected as I access files daily (steam games library, software, etc.). In this case, what should I do? Should I just purchase an additional external hard drive solely for backups/restore? The reason I am asking that is because I want to proceed for the next steps in terms of the fix.txt file, but I am afraid it would damage the internal drive (D:) or any files within. Thank you for the info concerning the search of the names and models of the drives. Although it is not precise to me, there is only my external hard drive that I can recognize by its name which is identified (on Device Manager) as WD Game Drive USB device. I believe that the first drive name that appears on the list would be the C: drive under the name of HGST HTS721010A9E630; D: drive under the name of INTEL SSDPEMKF256G8H. I have attached a screenshot when trying to identify the D: drive just so you can double check with me if I have the names correct for each drive.

    Where can I find that information?
  14. 007nice1
    Okay, I see. Useful information, thanks. Just so I understand correctly, this fix txt file will basically verify and attempt to fix any corrupted file? If so, then the D: drive should be able to be fixed with that? I am trying to understand the root cause of potential damage of the drive. It is the second internal drive of my laptop, and I can't recall a time where I have done something to disrupt any sort of update, software installation or any of that nature as it is an internal and not external (USB) drive. This is not the first time I have a drive that will (or could) fail. I've had other drives in a desktop computer that have failed and were unable to recover any sort of file as everything got corrupted and lost. Should I right click on D: drive and go on Properties>Tools? click Check on Error Checking? How can I prevent any potential damage on a drive in the future?

    Before proceeding, I have a few questions. Bonjour is a zero-configuration network by Apple to facilitate network connection between different devices. Why is it that I would need to uninstall that? What would be the consequences? As for the D: drive, what should I do to prevent the hard drive to fail? It's my 2nd internal hard drive and I cannot permit that to fail or I'll lose A LOT of important information. After clarifying those concerns, when disabling any real-time antivirus and security software, that means that I will have to disable Malwarebytes and Windows Security completely? Also, which password manager would you recommend me the most? I'm seeing that some people are not happy with the new update of Dashlane.

    Okay, so I have followed the steps as you mentioned. I have scanned with ESET Online Scanner and I got 7 unwanted files, which I quarantined some of them. Then, I did, in the correct order, the steps to scan with Malwarebytes and FRST. Here are all the files ESET Online Scanner.txt FRST.txt Malwarebytes results.txt Addition.txt AdwCleaner[C01].txt
  17. 007nice1
    Thank you for the clarification. Ok, so here are the steps I have done so far. Before your reply, I had updated my OS to Windows 11 two days ago and I have decided to roll back to Windows 10 today, just now. I have then scanned with Malwarebytes, exported the txt results, ran AdwCleaner and quarantined some unknown registries (or programs, not sure), quarantined some pre-installed software (I can always restore them later, if anything), exported the txt file and I have restarted my laptop. Then, for step 3, I did everything as mentioned with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and I have those 2 txt files. Here are all the files you're needing. Addition.txt AdwCleaner[C01].txt FRST.txt Malwarebytes results.txt

    Thank you for your fast reply! If I understand correctly, I have to first disable Windows Security completely before I start scanning through Malwarebytes? Or that was only to download and install Malwarebytes?

    The problem seemed to have stopped for now. But, I am not fully convinced. The last 3 weeks or so, I have experienced unusual activities on my iPhone and my email. I've been receiving unrequested password reset email attempts and I have been constantly changing my passwords for several sites and services. I am sure it is a virus. It could be malware or another kind of virus that I am not aware of. For security purposes, I am using my backup email address to write this thread. The hacker has successfully changed my passwords on services such as Epic Games Launcher, EA Games Launcher and I think Outlook email. Luckily, I have been able to change passwords from Outlook and EGL, but not EAGL. I have also implemented 2-step verification for my email, which is very important. Within that 3 week timeframe, I have received an email from the hacker saying they have my information and can expose me. I looked it up online (the nature of the email) and it seems to be common for people to receive that as it is a scare tactic. Talking about how they think I watch adult content and have my information. What creeped me out is that they wrote my password on that email, but it was a former password. It seems to be common in those emails. I also noticed that the hacker has sent spam email to many contacts from my OWN email address. I don't even know how that is possible. I am using Windows 10 on my laptop. I have not yet upgraded my OS. I just read that I definitely should update it as malware tends to infiltrate in computers that have outdated OS. I am using the latest OS on my iPhone 8 and I am using the Outlook app on my iPhone. For my laptop, I am using the Inbox Live program (which is Outlook). Overall, should I do a full backup of my files and reset my laptop completely? Should I upgrade to the latest OS of Windows 11? What should I do? PS: I have scanned my laptop several times with Malwarebytes and it hasn't detected any malware or unusual activity. Thank you

    Sorry, forgot to reply. Thank you so muchf for your support! I really appreciate it! Thank you!
  21. 007nice1
    Thank you! Wow that sounds pretty wicked! What is 2FA/MFA and how do I enable that? I wasn't doing any banking transaction that day, so am I good? Am I somehow being surveilled or anything?
  22. 007nice1
    'Welcome! Right now, it's working fine! What did you do?
  23. 007nice1
    You're welcome. Yes, here it is. It was a bit tricky, because I had to enable full control to compress the folder. Here it is! Quarantine.zip
  24. 007nice1
    I wasn't able to copy/paste it, so here's the file as attachment. Fixlog.txt
  25. 007nice1
    Thank you for your reply and kind support! Here are my logs! Addition.txt FRST.txt
