Question Bios keeps corrupting 'Virus'

[thephenom696]

After inserting an usb key, 2 days later my pc wont boot up

This happened after after changing bios settings(RAM speed and voltage) previously happened after inserting same usb key and installing Windows

Could it be a virus somewhere on my usb key or router? When my computer failis to boot, I tried to fix it by changing bios battery and plugging it back in to no avail

The different computer repair shop said The same thing :corrupt bios and reflashing fixed it..

Plus all of my stuff is infected anyway, so starting from my router, TV HDTV box, usb Bluetooth devices(my phone acts totally messed up after plugging it into The pc& and i'm not replacing everything i have, just have to live on with The virus i got back on 2016

I found the website on reddit and everyone said it was safe, i was also using ublock origin to visit the site, but now all my stuff are infected

I am not sure I am following what you are trying to say here.

A shop told you that a virus corrupted your BIOS?
And you are saying it is the same BIOS virus you have had since 2016 which has infected the rest of your network and devices?

Did they or have you ever found the name or description of said virus?

I need to find the name of the Virus.. How would I know the name of the Virus.. I remember I got it from ovagames back on the day, and I did use ublock origin with the boxes for malware protection ticked..

Reddit suggested me to use this website for games (you might be tempted to visit it, please don't..)


All my usb devices and family's routers are infected to this day, and it would require to replace all the tech to get rid of it.

My symptoms include scrambled Web pages on every devices even after connecting my phone to mothers laptop, my phone now shows half of comments missing on Facebook and instagram, , bios keeps corrupting on pc and after connecting an old usb devices, Virus comes to that new pc..

AS I said, it infects Linux, Windows, any OS and device I have

Until you purge that virus from your network you will continue to have issues. That is your first and only priority. If your USB drives are infected then destroy them. Do NOT insert any of them into any computer for ANY reason.

I run uBlock Origin by Raymond Hall in my web browsers to stop annoying popups and warn me when I stray on to malicious web sites.

I do not regard uBlock Origin as a defence against viruses. I leave that job up to proper Anti Virus software. Are you sure you were using uBlock Origin?

If you're running Windows, the built-in AV software is Defender, unless you have replaced it with something else. You can also run a scan with Malwarebytes, etc., if you need to double check.

If you want to check a Windows computer for viruses, download and create a USB Kaspersky Rescue Disk and use it to boot up the computer, then run a full virus scan outside Windows.

CAUTION. Get a friend to create the Kaspersky Rescue Disk on an uninfected system. Do NOT create the KRD on your own infected system. That would be pointless.

If your broadband router was provided by your ISP and you think its firmware is infected, ask your ISP for a new router.

If you believe your whole system is infected after changing the router and cleaning your computer(s), put everything in quarantine and replace all your hardware. Hand your equipment over to a professional and get them to check for viruses. Some items may be infected, others may be clear.

If you believe your Facebook and Instagram accounts are infected, open new accounts when you have cleaned your system. It would be silly to re-infect everything by revisting your old potentially infected accounts.
