  1. I've bought a headset from Steelseries and after a day of using it I got a notification from Windows Update that Steelseries ApS - Extension 1.0.1.0 was installed. When I booted my pc after the installation a window poped up with finishing the configuration of my headphones and it installed Steelseries GG software. Is it how it should be? I'm kind of surprise that it all happened automatically just like that. I've also seen some people complaining about that ApS being problematic with Windows 11. It seems impossible to uninstall and supposedly could cause bluescreens. Those posts are over 2 years old so maybe it works fine now?
  2. I reinstalled the Malwarebytes and now it has no problem scanning the file too. However I noticed a file on my main disc. It's a xml file named GetDeviceStatus (it has Edge's icon on it) that weights 14 KB. It's and old file that I never noticed (it was created almost a year ago). Again, nothing detects anything malicous there. There should not be any reasons to worry, right? What do You think, should I use this suport tool anyway?
  3. I've recently downloaded some files from my Google Disc and scanned them with anti-malware programs just in case. The programs didn't detect anything (the same goes for virustotal) but for some reason Malwarebytes crashes and restarts itself after finishing scan of a file. The afromentioned file is a tool for randomizing Pokemon game ROMs. It has good comunity scores at virustotal and nothing I have detects anything wrong with it. Do You have any idea why this happens? I'll attach this file to this post. Randomizer.zip
  4. Ok, thanks. So it's not strange that I couldn't open that WinInit found via Windows search bar?
  5. I tried checking the WinInit by typing it in the Windows search bar. The file doesn't launch when opened normalyl and says that Windows can't access it and that I may not have permission to access it when launched as an administrator. Have I done something wrong?
  6. So basically, I can check if it's working and have to wait till Microsoft fixes this?
  7. Hi! It had been recommended to me to use Firefox as my primary internet browser. However, I heard that newer released have some problems with security. That's why I want to ask if it's true and if I should keep using Firefox?
  8. Thank You. So I'll wait for Microsoft to fix it or until You or other expert here says to do something when more is known about the issue. Edit: That's how it looks in my Panel
  9. @Porthos Is it? Thanks You. I was looking a bit and found an advice to turn on SMV in CPU settings in BIOS (i have it disabled). I didn't want to do it without consultation with someone smarter in the topic than me. So, should I turn it on or just ignore it and do nothing as You've already said? There is an option to "dismiss" the notification about the device security panel but it's probably better not to and just wait?
  10. A yellow triangle appeared on the Windows Security iron yesterday. It says that Local Security Authority protection is off. Your device may be vulnerable. I can press Go to settings or Dismiss but when I click go to settings, a notification saying "the page You want to access doesn't contain required functions and is unavailable". There is also no option to turn the protection on in the Device Security panel (there is only "dismiss" option). There is also a text saying that standard device security is not supported in the Device security panel. When I was looking at it yesterday, there was also a notification that "The tpm module is unavailable" but today it doesn't show. I checked the device manager and uefi and both say that the tpm is enabled. What should I do?
  11. I have the same problem. It says that I don't have the TPM but TPM was required to install Win11. The device manager also says that the TPM is working fine. A person in the linked discussion asks about itas well. I hope there are answers soon.
  12. A few days ago a notification started showing up. It says that MB Browser Guard needs permission to exchanga data with a program other than Firefox. What is this program? Malwarebytes? Should I allow it?
  13. Adwcleaner scan is complete. It found PUP OptionalLegacy but the laptop didn't restart after the scan so I did it manually. There's logs from Malwarebytes full scan and Adwcleaner. The detected PUP is in the quarantine. Should I left it there? Will run FRST a bit later when I have a bit more time. Do I have to change any password for accounts I'd used on the laptop? This detection doesn't seem to be connected to that MB alert I got. mb scan.txt AdwCleaner[C00].txt AdwCleaner[S00].txt AdwCleaner[S01].txt
