Constantly infected with malware

seo4life · Nov 2, 2017

I dont know, something weir is going on with my windows 10......
I always managed to keep my winows virus free.....but somehow i got something nasty......
first it changed my homepage in chrome.....then got rid of it....tried all kinf of malware removeres.....

but now it keeps opening CMD.exe every few minutes for a sec or so and it closes it down.....
and malware bytes shows like 140 hits of malware....and I just cleaned it few days ago....
what is going on, o I need to reinstall my windows?
why so much malware?
I used rkill, spybot, malwarebytes etc....and it keeps geting reinfected....

I would reformat and install windows if you can.
How long have you been running windows on that hd?

Might be time to clean up stuff anyways. Just backup what you want.
Malware tends to come from Torrents & Porn sites

We dont know what things you are doing

Giggity.

360 security is what i use btw.

This is what you need:

Prepare to spend the next few hours doing this but it is pretty bulletproof.

Just realized I posted the wrong link. I just updated it for you.

This advice is spot on!

Additionally, once clean, I would add - use Avast as your antivirus.

I have been using them since 2008 - 2009 and have have never had a machine infected. And, I'm talking about 9 machines at home, and 7 at my office and never an issue. Prior to that, I used, McAfee, Norton and then Comodo and had problems with their software detecting malware attacks. Maybe they have changed since then, maybe not, but Avast WORKS!!!!

If you don't know this, websites such as CNN, NYDailyNews, NYPost, USAToday, etc., are all constant targets of hackers attempting to inject malware, and other harmful trojans, and .exe files into their sites. My point is, sites that you think are clean can be hacked and infected, and then can infect your machine. Avast regularly catches these harmful files from these targeted websites.

Lastly, stay away from the p-o-o-r-n websites, lol.

But what if i'm doing the porn upload method that means i'm literally effed?
maybe not literally but still...

seo4life · Nov 2, 2017

Ok small update.....
I installed Avast, did not find anything.......and I use the link somebody gave me here.....the CMD.exe does not pop up anymore....it was indeed malware.....clearly installed on my C: under disk folder.......
non of thte programs picked it up....rkill, aws, malware bytes.......but I tried rogue kill....and that found these things on c: that all other programs missed.....
thank you, I hope it will work fine now......it is a waste of time to reinstall windows I think...but having so many programs to have to run, that is a minus too from my perspective.....
evrybody bookmark that link from above

why not running linux and use windows in a virtual machine in seamless mode? best of both worlds

Crewchief007 · Nov 2, 2017

OP,

Sounds like you got it ironed out, GREAT!

No, you just need to use Durex on your Harddrive!

Do not run a VM. That's just dumb. Just be careful about what you download and use adblockpro.

seo4life · Nov 3, 2017

I use Adguard blocker.......
And yes I watch stuff from pornhub....I hope I dont get stuff from ther.e.....

HenryHavoc · Nov 3, 2017

Just don't click any ads and you'll be fine. You do not get viruses by watching porn. You get them from downloading shit from unofficial sources. Torrents? Nulled plugins?

seo4life · Nov 3, 2017

It might be piratebay stuff.......KMSPICO I think was the reason......

so you like to rub one out on regular basis even though you get malware and pleasure at the same time.....

seo4life · Nov 3, 2017

I use ccelaner for years.......but roguekiller is the best malware removal tool I think.....

How's running a VM supposed to be "dumb"?

You can literally test, clone, have dozens of instances of a single machine in a matter of seconds.. And not just Windows on Linux, but also Windows on Windows, Windows on a Mac OS host.. Same thing applies for Android that can be virtualized almost seamlessly.. And where would you assume the safe threshold is when "being careful" about what you download?

Truth is even projects on github and other opensource repositories sometimes get hacked, ccleaner got hacked as well recently and there are so many stealth ways (as FUD by your antivirus) to be infected that you're in for a very rough ride if you think that running an ad blocker and trying to paying attention will be enough... Maybe if you keep your PC disconnected or only pay for each and every piece of software you run, that I'm sure it's what everybody's doing on this forum /SARCASM

As far as games, if you're a gamer maybe just reinstall your windows from scratch and just play games on your native windows while installing a virtual machine with windows (yes, windows on windows) as a guest and keep testing everything that's kind of untrustworthy (like anything downloaded off a forum) inside that box that's reasonably separated from your own real PC.

virtualbox.org is free, backed by oracle if you want to give it a go
