Hi everyone,
I am facing a weird issue that I can't really understand.
A few days ago, my pc died. I assumed it was the PSU since it was second hand (my bad about that).
I instantly removed it and ordered a new PSU, that arrived yesterday. I connected it to my pc, but... nothing.
Assumed the mobo got fried by old PSU, and started to test some components in another working PC.
I tested one HDD which was fine, then I tried my GPU and that's when it got weird.
(To better understand everything, you must know that I got hacked on several social medias (bc of same password) yesterday, don't know if it is related tho)
Back to the GPU. I started the PC, but it seemed sluggish, which would be normal if the pc was downloading the drivers for the GPU. After a while, the pc was still slow, so I decided to download the latest driver using geforce experience, and, surprise, windows defender goes mad and tells me, while downloading the driver, that there is a trojan on the pc ! Name : ravadon.e (only found one post on reddit from yesterday talking about it, ppl didn't seem to care)
So I don't know what's going on, did Nvidia get hacked and started to distribute infected drivers ? Or did my GPU get hacked and will attempt to infect any pc it is connected too ? Or is there another reason since the working PC was fine before? I didn't download anything beside the driver.
I must say both of these ideas seems weird and nonsense, so please help me make some sense here pray
Thank you
