I've installed all those at some point. Here's an image of a Cybereason warning that popped up when I just moved one of the new folders just now into a folder I created called Potential Malware: https://photos.app.goo.gl/APcxqW6GmqvW7HB7A

Hi, I may need to get new RAM (running diagnostic now). I had my pc built in early 2017 by NCIX, which I just regrettably found out they went out of business a while back. 1. Is there a good NCIX alternative in the states? 2. I'm wondering if I should order the same RAM (if I were to order...

Hi - The J drive is a portable HDD. It houses my File History for Windows 10.

So, did a scan with esetonline scanner - also recommended by Microsoft help and it found these results 9/25/2020 8:34:17 AM Files scanned: 1633032 Detected files: 22 Cleaned files: 22 Total scan time 07:26:08 Scan status: Finished E:\__Downloads\advanced-systemcare-setup.exe multiple...

I have a more general question. Is malware, etc. always located on the drive with the operating system? Would it ever be found on a drive that is just for storing data? Thanks

I just looked at File History and noticed that this has been going on forever..starting back in 2018, which is when I set up this PC. It might be harmless because I haven't noticed anything after all this time (or not). There are as of now 894 of these folders with about 9K of these files in...

Would like to avoid that - but it is a route I'll have to consider.

Some more folders showed up - here's some of the names of the files inside one new folder: authority monday offered.sql blockreservenotebookhut (appears to be a Word file) fast.slide.utopian.loaded (appears to be a text file) fork.bomb.kill.circumstances gift.ranging king_bobbie...

There's a lot of stuff in there - is there a way to get a list of what's in there an post it?

Cyberreason doesn't seem to have any logs. But, I remember that it popped up and told me it found suspected Ransomware and asked if I wanted to go ahead with the recommended action (I should have taken a screen shot) - I said yes. I'm running a full virus scan on all drives now, but will check...

Hi - My D and E drives (my data drives) keep getting these bizarre folders showing up all of a sudden with file names that don't seem to make sense. CyberReason told me that it found Ransomware and stopped it. None of my files seem to be locked at this point (even after restart). I've run...

I saw instructions that if you select a partition in Disk Management and right click, it gives you the option to set up mirroring. It’s not in my menu though.

Hi, I'd like to mirror my data drive to another drive, but I cannot find an option to do that when I right click on the drives in Disk Management in Windows 10. Anybody know what I have to do to get this going? Do I need to format the target drive first that will mirror the data from the...

Basically, the updater won't work while VSS is on. When I disable it, I can do a backup.

Hi @RealBeast - I'm looking at Macrium. With Aomei it defaults to incremental backups. Macrium seems to default to differential. Should I change it to incremental (it looks like that is what you are using)? Thanks (Oops might be a moot point - Macrium free allows differential but not...
