I actually work in IT, so the clean install is no problem. I was aware there were no glaring obvious issues, which is part of what was driving me crazy! even the Logitech Gaming Software was coming up clean until I found a hybrid scan done in the replies on virus total. It's legit scary how well it does it job. Honestly, if not for the outgoing traffic I probably never would of caught it. I'm going to live boot into clonezilla or something equally lightweight and mount up the windows partition and clean the file and directory that way. As for the router, I have AT&T fiber for my ISP and they don't directly support using your own router or modem, therefor you're stuck using their 2 in 1. I tried using my own box with pfsense in conjunction with theirs, however it just led to too many head aches and pretty significant reduction in speed (30% of my symmetrical gigabit was average throughput). As for work, we use pfsense and they are secure as can be hoped for. I have suspicions that one of the cleaning crew that does our building is using physical access to create vulnerability. Taking measures to verify and prevent any potential physical intrusion going forward. I had basic measures in place, but a decent payload on a usb would leave me with my pants down so to speak. Time to clean the known issues, change my passwords and monitor traffic some more watching for outliers. I appreciate the speed in which you replied and took a look for anything that stuck out. I'm sure you're all absolutely inundated with requests. Keep up the good fight and wish me luck. Thank you.

I've done most everything I can think of, and unless I can find help here I'm going to have to resort to booting into a liveboot and zeroing out my drives and going with a clean install. To date the most recent things I've used are ESSET online which is reporting zero threats, malwarebytes which is reporting no threats, and windows defender. No threats. However, I know there is a breach as my work pc is shown as the device using my account to sell and make purchases on steam currently, with a connection to russia listed in my logins. Prior to this is was amazon, gmail and more. This all started with a security breach to two major sites, and me being the dummy I am, I was using the same password, or a variation of it, on nearly EVERYTHING. Brilliant, yes? Two months later I've scrubbed both this and my home system, changed all my passwords using a well respected password manager, and stayed on top of virus definitions and routine scans. After this steam breach, I'm dismayed to find everything coming up clean. I installed glasswire to inspect my traffic and low and behold I see logitech gaming sotware as my number two uploader of data. I don't use logitech software. So, while I'm certain this is probably not the only breach of security, it's one I know of. I've managed to clear the directory down to one, nagging, pervasive, jerk of a file. I've taken ownership, I've changed permissions in icacls, attempted to delete on boot, and no matter, this file remains. I'll include the farbar scan results, just in case, but any help would be very appreciated. I simply do not want to try to go through all my drives and try to pick what needs saving, all the while running the risk of bringing the infection along to a fresh install. I know I need to change all my passwords again, but utill I'm clean, that's just a waste of time. Please, help. I'm losing my mind here. Addition_27-03-2023 13.54.38.txt FRST_27-03-2023 13.54.38.txt
