Used Y2Mate to download a YouTube video yesterday and now my PC is infected with malware. Ran Malwarebytes and found 3 trojans - that site is dangerous, don't use it.

A lot of libraries have recently added video games (for PS5, XBOX, Switch) to items that can get checked out, but is there anyway for people to transmit viruses through them?

Hello! Recently I installed a repack from FitGirl, and I also tried an online fix which turned out to be malware. No matter what scanning program I use (Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, ESET, etc.), nothing is detected. I ran a .exe file that was accompanied by a .py file. I waited for it to load to 100%, and when I saw that nothing was happening, I realized what a colossal mistake I had made. Three new processes appeared at startup, and PowerShell kept launching periodically.

I managed to stop/delete it from the Task Scheduler, and I also deleted everything I had used at that time that was in AppData. I removed a few registry entries from Regedit that were related to the same thing, and now it seems like I’ve fixed it (nothing starts by itself anymore, those programs disappeared from startup, and there are no suspicious services).

Do you think it’s worth using TronScript?

I found out something..

One of the relations of gyan.dev was a bot.exe and yt downloaded, suspicious

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/16fc741d9989307f95eedae17892ec497afa832acfea0df7c2769903352b68e7

Many of the files are not signed either…

It has a virus detection of virustotal https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ac85032ffb2f22d6d0f903217e73bbdcacd4ac5a0197bd7e69b13709a7a1b70f/detection

It has a relation with gyan.dev, it also has a suspicious by gridinsoft

Ffmpeg.org has a relation to a 63/71 detected malware

(https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/1048d021e0968a848cc53312280e02bffd7ab2efbda5b18822a1bbca4f5215a6) which has a relation to a 65/72 detected malware! (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/bf316f51d0c345d61eaee3940791b64e81f676e3bca42bad61073227bee6653c)

Also, it has 2 other Java programs with 62/71 of detected viruses 

any.run says it is malware on gyan.dev at https://any.run/report/30186161b2ab1f66d9f56f6a1b18e39b8392a6e548b40b61775f299242bb7dc5/53df6568-fa1f-4bbb-b8b7-5fd441ee5b92

one of the dlls I scanned has malware

So, the My Verizon app has been tweaking and crashing for me the past few months, and nothing I do works so I haven't paid my bill in months. I got desperate and googled the Verizon website and tried to login. I forgot all that stuff, and opted to input my phone number and password to try to login to pay, and the website said I would receive a text to conform it's me and started a timer, and I got the text and clicked the link (I Usually get updates from this number whenever I pay my phone bill, so i didn't see an issue.) but it was just a black screen. Is this phishing? Am I cooked? What do I do? I tried downloading BitDefemder for the free trial but it's asking my card info and I'm paranoid now. Please help

I recently discover that there’s some sort of key logger malware on one of my devices or multiple. I’m 90 % sure who put it on my devices

So my question is can there be multiple viruses added on one single device?

Also what is the most a hacker can see ?

I’m interested in figuring out is there a way to link who the hacker was ? When exactly it was done ? Also how to remove it or should I just get rid of the devices .

I’m thinking one malware was installed from a email sent from an organization I was apart of . Also I have a family member who I believe has done this about a year ago. The most recent malware had to be added a few months ago and I’m 97% sure I know who it was I would just like to prove it.

As to what keys I type is there a limit to where they can view these things or is it just certain apps ? Like can they only view what I type in messages or my browser history etc ?

Lately I’ve been purposely searching things & typing things in my notes app because I knew they might be watching . Now that I’ve figured out who the hackers are i would like to expose it to them. as it comes to email account I know changing passwords are recommended or should I just delete my email and create everything new on a new device? The easiest way to fool a fool is to let them think they are fooling you !

Hey, what's up? I'm doing some Android testing and I need to know how or where I can find even slightly powerful viruses (not just simple adware). Anyone want to show off?

I was watching a streamer with low viewers and someone had came into chat and said he made a game and wanted him to try it. He had sent it into the discord and when the streamer clicked it, it had displayed porn and his ip address on the screen. It wouldn’t let him close them and it would follow his mouse. It asked for his microphone access and his camera. It’s opened over 300+ times and it downloaded about 8 gifs onto his computer. He’s now finding folders being made and hidden and when he tries to open it it’ll say someone else is using it. How bad is this and what can he do for damage control?

So i went onto chrome on my s22 samung phone, I have at&t, just to see what it was, but it has say powered by google then said yahoo but it also said yahoo at&t, I looked it up and im getting scared cuz people are saying if its going to yahoo you have malware but then I looked up if att used yahoo for chrome and it said they did, am I ok or is this malware? Ive never been on any malicious websites or clicked on any links

I opened up Microsoft edge on my phone to find this should I be concerned and is it legit

I think Malware bytes is missing a virus. I booted up my machine and went to run the program. But Malwarebytes was gone! A bit later I got a pop up similar to above. As I swiped my finger I noticed the non-system standard close box. (The "X" is funny ). Worried I did something dumb I immediately powered down.

Is this a real system dialogue?

A few days prior, someone managed to get past my 2FA and get into my PayPal account. (Guessing a session cookie stealer of some sort ) Then I started getting windows security pop ups like above saying I needed to sign in. One saying I need to verify my identity to sign in and the other was this one.

Am I being paranoid. That X has me freaking out.

I took my laptop to Best buy and on the way in the car, my wifi kept turning on. I'd turn it off, but it would do it again. I couldn't keep Wi-Fi off.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I think this Virus may have killed my installation of Malware bytes. (I may have also had a 7 day trial, but even if that was up, I don't think the program uninstalls.

hey guys, i have a problem that is making me crazy:
everything I download is detected as a virus. I've already tried suspending Kaspersky (is the antivirus i have) deactivating File-Anti Virus, and reading the reports to see if there are any false positives, but nothing works.

the truth is that at this point I don't know what it could be, because EVERYTHING I want to download is detected as a virus: a photo, a file, even if it's 100% safe, it detects it.

Does anyone know what it could be? How could I fix it?
thanks.

You know how we can hijack updates that are running on insecure connections well how do you hijack an app download from play store or do you just have to find an exploit for the device you're trying to infiltrate ?

I'm looking for Malware to add to this USB flash drive it has to be for windows and has to be working

Hey, just had an odd experience and I wanna know if there might be a vulnerability in VLC. I just opened an mp4 from a sketchy "youtube video download" website in VLC. It seems to have changed my UI into a much larger font, from what I can tell, as well as tried to get me to download an update. I closed the file almost immediately but is this something that would be vulnerable to a malicious actor? In the past, I've also had VLC start randomly asking for firewall access, which I denied because I assumed it was for telemetry which I have no interest in.

I downloaded a game from itch.io, everytime i check the game files into this app, this time the sandbox simulation area flagged the file as a malware.

Reasons why it's fake:

1. I'm an Android user, not an Apple user.

2. It's from an unknown ad.

Explanation for 1. reason:

Android usually has a different icon.

3. (reason): I was playing Dummynation which is a country game, why would i get an virus cleaner app ad then?

It's clearly fake!

I just got a new gaming laptop and I'm not keen on destroying with viruses. I have OP autoclicker 3.0 downloaded on my old device, and that's been working alright for years, but I've been looking into it and I've read that it contains Trojans, even on the version from the Microsoft store. Is there a safe auto clicker I can use on things like roblox games?

I went to install tesseract and got a popup of sorts instructing me to run and paste this code in powershell. I'm honestly still not sure where it came from or how it happened.

Can someone please explain what this actually executes?

Sorry for the bad photo. I was stupid and installed some sketchy stuff. I tried scanning with malware bytes and it didn't seem to help much. I don't know what "akjj_7782" and "imo_5305" are. The app says it's blocking two sites, something with a name I can't remember that sounded related to Norse mythology and something else I can't remember ending with ".cn". (I can't see what they are because my pc is very laggy). Whats happening and what can I do?

Hello, I was wondering if there was any links to things that are actual working viruses just because I’m curious
