    Question New Malware, just pointing it out here first

    something else worth mentioning: it does appear its trying to reroute all of the web traffic to steal passwords and personal info, it does have several layers of self-removal protection and upon rebooting will basically open up the OS to give the app full control. so if you havent rebooted yet I...

    Question What is the best VPN?

    expressvpn, nordvpn, Private Internet Access. NordVPN seems to be the only one with a true no logs policy and also isnt based in a country under the 5/9/14 eyes jurisdictions. most of the other vpns are slow, and have no logs policies from what my research has shows. PureVPN is awful so avoid at...

    Question New Malware, just pointing it out here first

    My buddy just got a piece of malware that no software was picking up including malwarebytes. Upon googling it we could not find any results related to it. It's called Pentothal.exe which judging by the name is probably some sort of injector. From what I can see it changed some group policies and...

    Computer shuts off immediately after post half the time

    So to anyone with the same issue : definitely an issue with my 650w EVGA G2, PSU. Cold booted 15 times with an 850w EVGA BQ. On that note it's not a lack of having enough overhead as I'm using maybe ~420w

    Microphone plugged in, but not working on new pc [Realtek]

    MSI z170a sli plus. I called MSI n it's the board. Homie doesn't want to wait a month for an RMA so we're gonna grab a USB or internal sound card later once we find a local place that has em and isn't sold out. If I were you, return the mobo if you just built the pc. But I tried a fresh...
