    Question Possible Discord Malware? Ransomware? RAT?

    Well I have reinstalled Windows on a new drive and plugged in the secondary I had, formatted it again just to be sure. Installed a different antivirus and scanned using that along with Malwarebytes. Haven't actually done much with it yet but everything seems fine unless there are any other...

    Question Possible Discord Malware? Ransomware? RAT?

    Oh I'm fine with 100% losing everything at this point, I'll just have to reinstall things again on a new drive. I was just worried any trace of whatever it was could possibly somehow linger and carry over with the old secondary. It's a 4TB I bought recently and wasn't super cheap, I really...

    So I entirely fell for one of those 'Will you try this game?' scams on Discord, still feel really dumb since I should have known better but for some reason I thought a friend had actually sent it to me... turns out they were also hacked. I stupidly followed the instructions and next thing I...

Just last night after trying to do the same thing as before, I heard a...

    [SOLVED] Laptop doing a lot of weird things when left on and closed?

    So I have a laptop (Running Windows 10 if it matters) that I sometimes use when I'm not on my desktop computer, but lately its been acting really weird. When I close the lid and set it aside I'll open it later to find my icons all over the place with a different size, multiple programs open for...

    [SOLVED] Computer crashing when connecting to wifi after upgrading to Windows 10 from 7

    So I figured it's time to ugrade to Windows 10 since support for 7 was going to end soon, I backed everything up and did a fresh install without carrying over any files or settings but now my computer crashes every time I try to connect to wifi. I'm using a NETGEAR A2610 right now which is a...
