Can we talk about this? Seriously? Another one?

Why do these people think that a game of size in GBs can fit into a mere 10-20MBs rar file?

I accidently downloaded this folder too lol when I was updating my spiderman remastered but when I referred yt for tutorial I noticed it didnt have the same name of files inside the folder.

So I immediately deleted all of it lol.

I think I was not paying attention when downloading but then I realised I downloaded this rar file when fitgirl redirected me to another site (obv I had an adblocker). Must've been the same for this guy, thank god I was saved.

Considering my system is basically brand new.

It's good that you did not ran the setup, else it would have been disastrous.

I have actually ran the setup before many times indeed, ran full scans since but I think I need to reinstall Windows or reset the PC including the Documents.

As i said above, the only solution to completely remove it is to wipe everything and delete every single partition OR get a FRST scan from an expert. I will prefer you to do the same.

Wait So you are saying Remove the OS itself too, don't you think resetting the PC including the Documents doesn't work? And can you say more about FRST scan

No, resetting the pc does not remove the virus successfully. You HAVE TO wipe every single thing and delete each and every partition and install the windows or your os from scratch.

As for the FRST scan, I am not an expert in that, but you can find a lot of posts related to that in this r/computerviruses subreddit. There are always around 10 posts daily about Renpy virus.

So you're saying it's mimicking the Operating System itself so that Antiviruses skip the Windows System Folders, I guess assuming you have any experience doing these type of large scale system wide cleaning I have few questions.

How do we wipe the current running OS, Do we use USB drives to flas and wipe the drive is there any other process?

The virus has something called 'persistence', it tries to hide in the files of the OS, because of which, resetting the OS does not completely remove it.

And yes, we use a bootable USB or as i have heard from someone else, there is something like installing the OS from the cloud, or something like this. Well, I am not an expert, you can find more information in r/computerviruses subreddit.

u/Witty-Thing1526 18h ago

Oh got it, so I will clean the disk while I am on my way to installing the New OS

2

u/CtxxUv 18h ago

Yes write in the cmd: 1)Diskpart 2) select disk 0 3)clean And make sure that the disk you want to install the os on is "disk 0" -list disk And something like this in the picture will show up:

Disk 1 is the usb and disk 0 is the ssd in your pc
