[SOLVED] Suspicious Task Manager

I didn't know that... It's earlier than I thought! This will be problematic further on, almost traumatic because I love Windows 7 so much, it accompanied me for nearly a decade and I know damn well about its features and advantages... But I'm not here to rant about operational systems, so I...

[SOLVED] Suspicious Task Manager

That's indeed useful, I wish W7 had something like that by default... The problem is that Windows 10 is not so tempting to me anyway, for plenty of different reasons; I do know however that aside some things it's a really well made OS with enviable features and improvements... Still better than...

[SOLVED] Suspicious Task Manager

Very interesting, thank you for mentioning this. It's weird you can't do something like this by default, but whatever, this Process Explorer is still made by Microsoft so it will certainly do the work; obviously I won't touch anything, I just want to make sure that all the Windows processes are...

[SOLVED] Suspicious Task Manager

I think you're right, we did in fact see it just a few days ago; how do you identify if the processes/services are legitimate, though? Is there a way through the task manager to see where the application starts?

[SOLVED] Suspicious Task Manager

Thanks for the elucidation, Corrine. I'm running on Windows 7; I did some researches earlier but I didn't find anything about it (or maybe I just didn't search the right keywords): I still don't get how to see the location from which processes and services launches. That would be of course, very...

[SOLVED] Suspicious Task Manager

You're right, sorry; how about now? By the way we can exclude the numerosity matter then, that's already something. What about their names though? Allegedly they're all from Windows... Or maybe not; audiodg.exe for example should be pretty normal, but it doesn't have any description and some...

[SOLVED] Suspicious Task Manager

A few days ago I posted here on this section just to be sure about my PC being clean. You guys did a great work, and lately I've been monitoring my task manager just to be sure... The latter is in fact a little suspicious (it always was, but now more than ever because I'm actually researching...

[SOLVED] Help a Clinical Paranoid Out

True, I remember using Malwarebytes even on my old laptop for how good it was, so really that was my first choice to begin with. Although I do not know the people behind it as you do (not even virtually), from their posts on the official website I can only assume they do in fact care a lot about...

[SOLVED] Help a Clinical Paranoid Out

It's true that I see its name very low on the various "best antivirus programs of 2019 / 2018", but that's probably because those websites are very biased regarding this stuff (one of which had it in something like 6th position, while the 1st was Bitdefender and the 2nd was none other than the...

[SOLVED] Help a Clinical Paranoid Out

Thanks for these elucidations... Yes, what I posted before was the totality of the .txt file; perhaps I'll run it again tomorrow just to be sure. What do you think is the best A/V, free version? Other than that, am I clean (for) now? I can finally breath? 😅 Is there something else I can do?

[SOLVED] Help a Clinical Paranoid Out

Oh and I almost forgot that on the Registry I found, on the Softwares folder, two suspicious ones: Moon Bot and Margin Software. Allegedly, these have something to do with cryptomining. I've deleted those folders from the Registry; I don't know how much time those were there, though. I also...

[SOLVED] Help a Clinical Paranoid Out

Damn, this tool was even more useful than all the other A/V and Anti-malware programs I've tried before, it detected 8 threats. 7 of which were "simple" adwares that came with Format Factory (it's a software i use a lot), but the last one was none other than another trojan, labeled as...

[SOLVED] Help a Clinical Paranoid Out

Thanks for always being so crystalline. I'll do try Avast Free, if that doesn't impact performance that much. I was indeed interested to A/V(es) to begin with, running when I am online and/or when I'm doing tasks I don't know about, it's just that when it's the complete opposite of those two...

[SOLVED] Help a Clinical Paranoid Out

Perhaps I didn't explain myself correctly, sorry. I'm not doubting in any way what you did, actually I very much appreciated the help, especially regarding the softwares updates. I only wondered what the FRST thing was about, not the program itself but the codes you made me use for the fix. I...
