But Nico, says the nerd that thinks you're a hero, what about the yellow entries....the "FILE NOT FOUND" which I'm guessing it means there's a reference in the reg that is pointing at/towards a file that is no longer on the system...can these be ignored? Should we un-check them since the entry might be referring to malicious files that have been removed by Tron/TDSS/RK, etc? (By the way, VirusTotal found nothing of concern on my phone...it DID however, find several entries that it could provide no information for, such as permission entries...very, very funny looking permission entries, that it could provide no information for. The two apps that are most unknown are system/hidden apps called "Tethering" and "Tee Service") You have essentially helped me, without even breaking a sweat, remove a virus, a rootkit, etc, that I was SOOO close to throwing out my entire PC after 4-5 months of dealing with it...it was an absolute NIGHTMARE. TDSS Killer kicked the **** out of some files, it took multiple reboots, between TDSS and RougeK, but it got the job done and for the first time, even before the programs were completely finished, my laptop (8GB/1TBSSD/AMD3.4), much to my freakin surprise, booted in less than 10 seconds as it once did, several months ago, when I first got it brand-new last year. I still don't know where the problem originated from BUT I WILL SAY that I purchased a Windows 10 Pro key online and I did NO research into the vendor, and that I only spent about 20 bucks for said key...I say it could possibly be the root cause-but then again it could not. I don't use the key anymore, obviously, because this laptop came with it's OEM key for Windows, which surprisingly wasn't deleted during the 3/4 formats that took hours upon hours to write 0s over the drive. There is SO much common sense in your information but it just didn't hit me like common sense...once I got a little bit of validation, not to mention a FREAKIN REPLY from the champion himself, NICO KNOWS TECH, I began to gain back the perspective I needed.

LOL, so I downloaded Process Hacker and apparently under Virus Total it says... "30 security vendors and 1 sandbox flagged this file (processhacker-2.39-setup) as malicious"
Pc was infected with malware like 2 months ago everything was hacked including my social media, followed your guides now everything is clean. Thank you for the work you've done, helped a ton.
same thing happened to me, download a "lightroom" file and it got acces to everything, i followed some of nico's tutorials, but did you do anything else, to secure the social media? (except changing the password)
I finally downloaded this program, I have a self rebuilt HP 17.5 now digital laptop, old C-drive died, and this program surprisingly worked with a dragonorder malware, my HP, is almost speed of light again, amazing, thank you so much.
I had a nasty trojan that used all my social media accounts and created a huge mess I had to clean up. Luckily I never saved any credit card info on that computer and I only lost an unimportant epic games account where I didn't set up 2FA. When I searched for ways to remove the trojan, the first thing I found was your video about the tron script. The performance issues disappeared instantly and I even got rid of some annoying pre-installed applications! Now my computer is clean, I'm so lucky to have discovered this channel!
Thanks again Nico! Just reset my laptop because of the amount of trojans that were on it and wanted to make sure everything was gone. I ran autoruns and it worked flawlessly! No viruses here!
So happy I found your channel.. had a wacapew in a game I had downloaded. Laptop started running slow. After doing a health check I saw it. Ran Tron with your guide and poof!! It's gone!! Laptop is running super fast again!! 😁 Thank you Niko!!
I was doing some research on a virus named "Uwamson" after my Windows Defender detected it and I manually removed any files that I have just recently installed, but I only ended up with a small number of relevant results from affected people giving different descriptions about this virus. Right now, I am glad that Autoruns is a thing that can help me find any suspicious files hiding around my operating system.
Thanks you've really helped me a lot. I had a ransomware which i was able to remove using your intial steps showed one of your videos then used this video to check for malwares . Thanks 🙏
I can watch you all day. Recently I was a victim, someone hacked my laptop, then all my social media accounts changed the details of my Facebook, and that's how I lost it.
@@NicoKnowsTech I'm keenly following up with the process. There is this notepad thing that was always popping up after every restart or booting, I don't see it no more after running the tdsskiller.

For the past two months, I felt like someone was on my trail watching me, following me and seeing everything I do online. I got frustrated after getting notifications from every site that I have an account with that there was an illegal login attempt or someone changed my passwords.

Hi Nico, thank you so much of the informative videos tell dummies like me how to step by step fixing malwares and be 100% certain that it is safe. I just followed steps in this video but I get all "Error" under the virus Total column. There is no check against Virus total. Yours showing 0/75 or 1/75, mine just shows Error. How can I fix this?
Nico seriously thank you so much you may have just saved all my personal information from being fully compromised with transcript and this, I pray I'm 100% okay but I assume I am things seem better god bless you man seriously I'm so grateful

I just want to add that the autoruns does not show me the virus total does that means that i have no viruses ?? And thank you again❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hope you see this man, I have been hacked recently and had a hard time recovering accounts but because of this channel, my very uneasy feeling of not being able to sleep as I monitor if things that notify me that something was changed was reduced but still I still perform routine checks just to be sure but in all cases, just wanted to thank you for introducing virus total and these tips to check if system is really secure and because I'm not a hacker or IT engineer or anything, it really hurts to not do anything but just defend myself and i was just frustrated and nervous in what to do. Really, thanks to this channel man.
Thanks for the updates Carl. I totally understand. I have been there. It's why I went into this field and made this channel. I am at war with the lowlife people who did this to you.
@@NicoKnowsTech I am planning to do a fresh restart or a reset of my pc when I go to the store where I bought my pc so I can feel really safe but for now I guess I'm just holding on. But again, thank you. Really.
do you recommend running autoruns before using something like tron? and if autoruns comes back clean, don't bother with tron? my autoruns looks clean but there are several instances of files not found that are highlighted in yellow
Was stupid and desperate for a free-version of a soft-ware. So I clicked it, ran the exe(with Malware Premium on) and realized my mistake immediately. Shut off PC booted up safe Mode. I proceeded to run every Malware preventing thing under the book. Said there was nothing found. I then proceeded to spend 8 hours of my night(and now morning) just doing every scan, every check up, looking through every file and I have utterly screwed my sleep. I wanted to be absolutely sure I was safe. Still found nothing. I then just googled 'How can I know my PC is 100% safe from Malware' and I came across this video. I followed the TRON guide then I did this, still, nothing found and I believe I can finally rest now. Thank you so much. Might as well ask just to be safe- If I got a suspicious exe, ran it then NOTHING occured. I proceeded to boot up safe mode and scan everything with RKill, Malwarebytes then rebooted and ran tron. Then followed this guide and the entire time found no evidence/positive for malware. I am safe then? Hopefully so :)
Most relatable comment I've found so far 🤣. I've recently downloaded a cracked software, ran it and later realized that it was probably a virus. Didn't care about it for a while until I found malicious activities in my youtube accounts. Someone's/something's been using my accounts to watch nonsense hack tutorials for games. I went quickly to youtube to find tutorials on how to remove viruses and did all the things that you basically did. I'm really hoping that I'm done with my problem.
@@notthebrandofsacrifice9261 Thankfully nothing found yet on my end or haven't noticed anything weird. So I'm PRETTY sure I'm safe. Hoping you problem is dealt with! It's always that worry of 'Is it fully gone?' that gets you. Thank you for relating
Yes, ever since I've gotten a trojan and was hacked, I question every single detail of my computer. I initially didn't sleep for 6 days, trying to find anymore viruses cause I just felt incomplete and paranoid. I ended up deleting my whole SSD, even then I now question if they've done something to my network and internet, I feel like someone's watching me at all times
you are a life saver dude, now i will probably have to wait and see if anything happens but i used everything i could from your youtube that would have any chance of helping
If my windows product key has be potentially stolen , do I need a new copy of windows to prevent anyone from using it online? Could possibly have malware crypto mining off of my machine or something. Thank you ahead of time for the response! I have tried a lot of fixes, running Tron as we speak, then doing this video next. And will go from there !
just ran the tron scrip not long ago and i wanted to make sure everything was gone before i logged back into my gmail account and stuff, thank you for this video and the tron video it helped me a ton
Yay finally someone who actaully knows what they are talking about and doing compaired to other youtubers who end up screwing up laptops for others who probably think that it's still gonna work on your system and then having to go out and buying a new laptop!
haha thank you so much. you had me there about not worrying about task manager and if i done tron and other task i should just RELAX. haha. thanks again now i can relax
Sir may I asked, I had a presently a high infected of malware, named; " Account Unknown Hijack Explorer Disable Registry Tools, " On my laptop now. Have you ever encountered and complete remove & repair of a certain laptop of your clients ?
Really love this channel,,, it helped me remove a trojan that access my accounts,, would recommend it to others and tell them to join the discord too,,, the admins also helped me a lot
Great video Pal! I would like to see something in practice. Detection and removal. Recently my twitter and facebook account was stolen. I ran Tronscript... it gave some errors of not being able to access some files but it went to the end with success. Even so, I suspect that I remain infected
If the rootkit has infected the system then yes in one way or another. Really advanced APTs will often appear as an unsigned driver that alerts on virus total.
Yo thanks for the help man. I did what you said and it isn't showing x/y for virus total just shows nothing for eg 0/73 isnt there at all for anything.
Hello, and thanks for your videos! A few nights ago, I installed a used stick of RAM I bought from a highly rated seller on eBay. Right after I turned my PC on, Windows Security said there were several viruses detected. I quickly turned my PC off, took out that RAM stick, and then turned it back on. I proceeded to 'delete' all those viruses through Windows Security, then I saw your Tron videos, completed all that, and Tron detected/deleted no viruses. Autoruns also saw no viruses. Do you think that Windows just saw a false positive after putting the RAM in? As it stands, the status of all those viruses on Windows Security is 'Cancelled' and it says they were possibly not fully deleted. But, my PC runs just as normal now as it did before and after it said I had viruses (actually better now, after getting rid of several GB of junk through Tron). Also: if no threats were detected on my PC using Tron, Autoruns, etc., is it possible my external Hard Drive (which has always been plugged in only to my PC), could be infected? I am a bit worried, although I believe it should be safe, though.
The new ram stick probably just allowed windows to run a scan. Viruses can't be transferred via ram sticks because when they have no power, they are completely blank.
@@NicoKnowsTech I basically got all paranoid for nothing. But, at least I cleaned out over 10 GB of junk and have more tools to figure out if I do have any viruses and that also delete them. I was just extra paranoid because I plan on transferring my HDD data to my external hard drives to go to a new HDD with a new motherboard and CPU. It's been four years since an upgrade, and my current motherboard isn't compatible with any CPUs that are much better than mine, an AMD FX 6300. Would you recommend a Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite Ax AM5 (289) for a new CPU like ryzen 7 7700X? I mostly make/edit photos and videos, browse the web with multiple tabs and play games every now and then, including newer ones. I can get that and the ryzen 7 770X for around 600 dollars.
@@josephrichter2104 That is a pretty high end rig. It would do the job, however you will want a GPU for an AMD rig for creative needs. Intel tends to perform better for creative work when a GPU is not present. I am still an AMD fan.
@@NicoKnowsTech yeah, I have a pretty good AMD GPU for now, the RX 6600 (Swift 210). I only have a 1080p monitor for now. Once I get a 4k one, then I'll get a new gpu too, but it seems to be good enough for all my current games, etc.
@@josephrichter2104 Sounds like it will be a pretty darn good gaming rig to be honest. A GPU upgrade down the road would make it able to run AAA titles at high FPS, but for now... I always tell people the mobo, ram and CPU are the most important part of performance.
Thank you for your sharing, I finally kill the malware after watching your video. I really appreciate your video. However I got another new problem when every time I start my computer. The Bitlocker keeps asking me the code. It shows up when I caught malware in my computer, after running tron and killing the virus, I believe the malware is gone but Bitloker keeps popping up. I have no idea how to make it back to normal. I just don't want to turn off of bitlicker, is there any way to fix it without forcing to turn off bitlocker?
I was getting notifications from windows defender from time to time that a virus was detected i.e. Behavior:Win32/CoinMiner.I, and it says that it's been removed but after restarting my PC it again shows up. I scanned with Malwarebytes but it didn't help. After scanning with autoruns I got 'windows services task' as a virus total of 26/75. I don't know how to delete it. scanned it with defender and Malwarebyte but they don't recognize it as a virus. What should I do? I just disabled the task from autoruns. What to do next....
Hi man, I've watched half ur video by know and unpatiently asking, how do i know if my computer is free from virus, i understand the whole part of which app is or might have viruses but i feel like i havent heard anything about if there might still be something in my computer. Prehaps hidden in temp files or such.....
I have a simple question regarding R Kill and that is: I have downloaded it but not installed it .. should I click on R Kill to install it BEFORE running Tron Script? or will Tron script handle re-installing R Kill then un uninstall it after the script runs? I havent run either program yet. I am running Win11Pro.
Well done for being legit. I appreciate it. Watching the most popular video on this, the guy is playing in regedit and looking up what he was doing tells me I could have quickly broken windows if I followed those steps.

I was hacked almost 2 years ago. I saw a dude walk through my yard, hold out a thing by my wifi, I knew something was up. I had problems immediately too. Factureset numerous times, persists.

13:30 How can u tell a link from a google search looks like a red alert just from a simple glance...?? This is amazes me. Is there a key points that u can tell so others can notice as well.
Hard to teach that. It's just experience. I recommend everyone to just avoid links from domains they do not recognize unless they run the URL through Virus Total. If users stick with the major domains (Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Apple, etc) and websites by well established names... They can reduce their exposure to malicious websites. I'm also working on videos which cover malicious domain lists, DNSMASQ, and other ways of automatically filtering out known bad domains so that even novice users can surf with confidence.
Sir Thank You.. Bless you.. I was able to recover my files on my c_drive. But I can't able to recover my files on External drive all my important files have been encrypted with a ".yqal" extension. Any solutions on that??
my autoruns doesnt have all the things you do, its only showing the major apps i have, like my browsers, microsoft office, discord etc. i had opened it before and it had alot more stuff, but when i went back to it, a lot of stuff was not showing
@@aniksen3831 in our tests before blackhat Avira did poorly in zero day tests. A lot of tests are pretty easy to pass and they go by percentages. What is more important for me personally are response to live threats, zero day, etc. Avira is good... Significantly better than defender. I just can't place my recommendation on Avira over Kaspersky, Bitdefender, NOD32 (ESET'S engine) and some others.

I wanted to be absolutely sure I was safe. Still found nothing. I then just googled 'How can I know my PC is 100% safe from Malware' and I came across this video. I followed the TRON guide then I did this, still, nothing found and I believe I can finally rest now. Thank you so much.
Might as well ask just to be safe- If I got a suspicious exe, ran it then NOTHING occured. I proceeded to boot up safe mode and scan everything with RKill, Malwarebytes then rebooted and ran tron. Then followed this guide and the entire time found no evidence/positive for malware. I am safe then? Hopefully so :)
Most relatable comment I've found so far 🤣. I've recently downloaded a cracked software, ran it and later realized that it was probably a virus. Didn't care about it for a while until I found malicious activities in my youtube accounts. Someone's/something's been using my accounts to watch nonsense hack tutorials for games.
I went quickly to youtube to find tutorials on how to remove viruses and did all the things that you basically did. I'm really hoping that I'm done with my problem.
@@notthebrandofsacrifice9261 Thankfully nothing found yet on my end or haven't noticed anything weird. So I'm PRETTY sure I'm safe. Hoping you problem is dealt with! It's always that worry of 'Is it fully gone?' that gets you. Thank you for relating
You have been saving my life for 2 years straight thanks so much man
Wow! Thanks for telling me. I'm glad you have benefited from my content.
Would have saved me a lot of time if I found this vid sooner. Thanks for the info man
Yes, ever since I've gotten a trojan and was hacked, I question every single detail of my computer. I initially didn't sleep for 6 days, trying to find anymore viruses cause I just felt incomplete and paranoid. I ended up deleting my whole SSD, even then I now question if they've done something to my network and internet, I feel like someone's watching me at all times
After the Tronscript i ran autoruns, good to go! I can relax now... again, thank you!
Bro your vid saved my machine from a major attack tysm🙏
Good vid btw
But do you think the RTX 2060 is a good card?
you are a life saver dude, now i will probably have to wait and see if anything happens but i used everything i could from your youtube that would have any chance of helping
If my windows product key has be potentially stolen , do I need a new copy of windows to prevent anyone from using it online? Could possibly have malware crypto mining off of my machine or something. Thank you ahead of time for the response! I have tried a lot of fixes, running Tron as we speak, then doing this video next. And will go from there !
just ran the tron scrip not long ago and i wanted to make sure everything was gone before i logged back into my gmail account and stuff, thank you for this video and the tron video it helped me a ton
thanks nico i feel much safer with my pc after watching your videos! - not a bot
Yay finally someone who actaully knows what they are talking about and doing compaired to other youtubers who end up screwing up laptops for others who probably think that it's still gonna work on your system and then having to go out and buying a new laptop!
That's high praise! I will strive to keep it up.
dude you make the best tech videos
I don’t know tech like “Nico knows tech”, but I know that you should always operate as if you ARE being spied on, because you probably are!!!
Yes indeed. I am working on my next video which covers privacy and how to obtain it.
haha thank you so much. you had me there about not worrying about task manager and if i done tron and other task i should just RELAX. haha. thanks again now i can relax
Glad you can rest easy now.
Thank you for this! Subscribed 👍
for god sake u deserve 10 mil subs
Working on it buddy. thanks!
POV : The only channel that gives me n my pc a piece of mind
You're a legend. You deserve millions of subs.
Thanks man. That's what they call me: th-cam.com/video/W5clPGgLDtY/w-d-xo.html
Helpful; but how do we verify that there are no remaining problems with MBR infections/problems???
can you do a video of how to run certain command lines of tron script like only debloat or virus scan?
Sir may I asked, I had a presently a high infected of malware, named; " Account Unknown Hijack Explorer Disable Registry Tools, " On my laptop now.
Have you ever encountered and complete remove & repair of a certain laptop of your clients ?
Really love this channel,,, it helped me remove a trojan that access my accounts,, would recommend it to others and tell them to join the discord too,,, the admins also helped me a lot
i need help, i checked the option with the virustotal scan but its not showing the 1/74 of all the files
I have an error in virus total instead of numbers what is the problem
Hi please make video how to install dnscrypt-proxy and how to configuration it for example block ads and anonymous dns it will be cool
Thank you so much nico. I can finally sleep in peace.
Awesome channel
Now my work team thinks i'm a genius :D
Welcome aboard!
Great video Pal! I would like to see something in practice. Detection and removal. Recently my twitter and facebook account was stolen. I ran Tronscript... it gave some errors of not being able to access some files but it went to the end with success. Even so, I suspect that I remain infected
Hello again Nico
Will this identify a root kit?
If the rootkit has infected the system then yes in one way or another. Really advanced APTs will often appear as an unsigned driver that alerts on virus total.
Hey Nico what does yellow color code means?
Yo thanks for the help man. I did what you said and it isn't showing x/y for virus total just shows nothing for eg 0/73 isnt there at all for anything.
Same question!
Loved it Nico....well done. So detailed video.
Hello, and thanks for your videos!
A few nights ago, I installed a used stick of RAM I bought from a highly rated seller on eBay. Right after I turned my PC on, Windows Security said there were several viruses detected. I quickly turned my PC off, took out that RAM stick, and then turned it back on. I proceeded to 'delete' all those viruses through Windows Security, then I saw your Tron videos, completed all that, and Tron detected/deleted no viruses. Autoruns also saw no viruses.
Do you think that Windows just saw a false positive after putting the RAM in? As it stands, the status of all those viruses on Windows Security is 'Cancelled' and it says they were possibly not fully deleted. But, my PC runs just as normal now as it did before and after it said I had viruses (actually better now, after getting rid of several GB of junk through Tron).
Also: if no threats were detected on my PC using Tron, Autoruns, etc., is it possible my external Hard Drive (which has always been plugged in only to my PC), could be infected? I am a bit worried, although I believe it should be safe, though.
The new ram stick probably just allowed windows to run a scan. Viruses can't be transferred via ram sticks because when they have no power, they are completely blank.
@@NicoKnowsTech I basically got all paranoid for nothing. But, at least I cleaned out over 10 GB of junk and have more tools to figure out if I do have any viruses and that also delete them.
I was just extra paranoid because I plan on transferring my HDD data to my external hard drives to go to a new HDD with a new motherboard and CPU. It's been four years since an upgrade, and my current motherboard isn't compatible with any CPUs that are much better than mine, an AMD FX 6300.
Would you recommend a Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite Ax AM5 (289) for a new CPU like ryzen 7 7700X? I mostly make/edit photos and videos, browse the web with multiple tabs and play games every now and then, including newer ones. I can get that and the ryzen 7 770X for around 600 dollars.
@@josephrichter2104 That is a pretty high end rig. It would do the job, however you will want a GPU for an AMD rig for creative needs. Intel tends to perform better for creative work when a GPU is not present. I am still an AMD fan.
@@NicoKnowsTech yeah, I have a pretty good AMD GPU for now, the RX 6600 (Swift 210). I only have a 1080p monitor for now. Once I get a 4k one, then I'll get a new gpu too, but it seems to be good enough for all my current games, etc.
@@josephrichter2104 Sounds like it will be a pretty darn good gaming rig to be honest. A GPU upgrade down the road would make it able to run AAA titles at high FPS, but for now... I always tell people the mobo, ram and CPU are the most important part of performance.
Another great video!!!
Thank you for your sharing, I finally kill the malware after watching your video. I really appreciate your video. However I got another new problem when every time I start my computer. The Bitlocker keeps asking me the code. It shows up when I caught malware in my computer, after running tron and killing the virus, I believe the malware is gone but Bitloker keeps popping up. I have no idea how to make it back to normal. I just don't want to turn off of bitlicker, is there any way to fix it without forcing to turn off bitlocker?
Disable bitlocker all together and then redo the encryption would be the best bet
Is bitdefender still good?
Nico, you are the power brother. Thank you. I owe you a steak dinner if ever in north Arkansas. Hell, I'll cook you the whole cow.
Hey Nico, how can I remove viruses that have gone deep infected to the kernel level.
Thank you again!
You are welcome Peppiino!
Hey what if in every column of Virustotal there is an error? What happened?
This was so helpful!! Thank you
Awesome!
Now I love it even more!
I was getting notifications from windows defender from time to time that a virus was detected i.e. Behavior:Win32/CoinMiner.I, and it says that it's been removed but after restarting my PC it again shows up. I scanned with Malwarebytes but it didn't help. After scanning with autoruns I got 'windows services task' as a virus total of 26/75. I don't know how to delete it. scanned it with defender and Malwarebyte but they don't recognize it as a virus. What should I do? I just disabled the task from autoruns. What to do next....
Use roguekiller. www.adlice.com/roguekiller/
@@NicoKnowsTech Thanks it worked and I guess it removed the virus
OOOOOh now i feelgood again i wa rly ready to run tron thank u Mr Nico.
My pleasure
hello um when i was doing the tron thing my pc just restarted at stage 3
what do i do???
Thank you so much! Sleepless night tonight? Not for me!
So glad you can rest easy now!
Hi man, I've watched half ur video by know and unpatiently asking, how do i know if my computer is free from virus, i understand the whole part of which app is or might have viruses but i feel like i havent heard anything about if there might still be something in my computer. Prehaps hidden in temp files or such.....
Will bitdefender rescue mode remove all the viruses gone deep in kernel level
I have a simple question regarding R Kill and that is: I have downloaded it but not installed it .. should I click on R Kill to install it BEFORE running Tron Script? or will Tron script handle re-installing R Kill then un uninstall it after the script runs? I havent run either program yet. I am running Win11Pro.
Nico, Thank you for this video. George
My pleasure!
Nico is the man!
Does autoruns require the internet to run virus total?
Thank you so much
Tronscript autocloses at stage 1 . I wanna know how to restart it from scratch or how to make it go through the process
If you delete the log files in C:/logs it will restart the script from scratch next time you run it.
@@NicoKnowsTech it didn't work
I got some yellow on autoruns is that okay? Also does tron script check if my wifi is infected? just want to be sure
Well done for being legit. I appreciate it. Watching the most popular video on this, the guy is playing in regedit and looking up what he was doing tells me I could have quickly broken windows if I followed those steps.
You are exactly right

I was hacked almost 2 years ago. I saw a dude walk through my yard, hold out a thing by my wifi, I knew something was up. I had problems immediately too. Factureset numerous times, persists. Thing is this is a small town isp that thinks im full of shit. But they're in. Ive bought more routers etc. Obviously observing my financials and trolling me. I just can't shake them. Hopefully this will work. Thanks!
Hy Nico .I wanted to find out how one can recovery corrupted file which are already on the computer but the format has being charged and if put in the right format Their can't open .
13:30 How can u tell a link from a google search looks like a red alert just from a simple glance...??
This is amazes me. Is there a key points that u can tell so others can notice as well.
Hard to teach that. It's just experience. I recommend everyone to just avoid links from domains they do not recognize unless they run the URL through Virus Total. If users stick with the major domains (Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Apple, etc) and websites by well established names... They can reduce their exposure to malicious websites. I'm also working on videos which cover malicious domain lists, DNSMASQ, and other ways of automatically filtering out known bad domains so that even novice users can surf with confidence.
Thanks. Virus Totals great 👍 Didn't know about this.
Sir Thank You.. Bless you.. I was able to recover my files on my c_drive.
But I can't able to recover my files on External drive all my important files have been encrypted with a ".yqal" extension. Any solutions on that??
my autoruns doesnt have all the things you do, its only showing the major apps i have, like my browsers, microsoft office, discord etc. i had opened it before and it had alot more stuff, but when i went back to it, a lot of stuff was not showing
I understand that Autoruns 14.0 is showing no virustotal.com results so I have included the link to 13.4 in the description. I hope this helps!
would this remove a virus that came from an SCR file I opened? They already tried to steal google account
Yes. Those SRC infections just steal logins saved to browsers.
which antivirus you use for protecting your personal system?
I use ESET Internet Security. Links in description.
@@NicoKnowsTech Eset is good good but i think Avira & Kaspersky More Than ESET.
@@aniksen3831 I agree on Kaspersky. Not Avira personally.
@@NicoKnowsTech But Why I Recently Test Avira They Provide 99.9 % Protection In Windows 10 . I Test Via Malx in powershell.
@@aniksen3831 in our tests before blackhat Avira did poorly in zero day tests. A lot of tests are pretty easy to pass and they go by percentages. What is more important for me personally are response to live threats, zero day, etc. Avira is good... Significantly better than defender. I just can't place my recommendation on Avira over Kaspersky, Bitdefender, NOD32 (ESET'S engine) and some others.
i think i love you thank you so much
I get errors in the virustotal column to every single entry!!!!
I recently hard reseted my laptop and i was checking up with autoruns just to be sure and i got this issue, Nico you've helped me in the past, I'd love if you helped me again
