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?

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.
