Mallikainen Posted September 29, 2021 ID:1482096 Share Posted September 29, 2021 So I downloaded a thing that installed some thing called Maskvpn to my pc. So instantly when I saw it I deleted it. But then my friend google what it is and turns out it was a virus so I deleted every file I could find that looked like a virus. Then I watched a video on how to remove viruses and malware so I downloaded malwarebytes an esmi or some thing. Malwarebytes found one thing so I quarantined it and deleted. But there was still some Maskvpn files In my program files do i deleted them. Then I saw another Forum post of it duplicating on the firewall or something and was wondering if there is anything I can do to verify that I dont have malware. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
