[SOLVED] trojan virus

[leeroythepleb]

hey yall. I downloaded a thing today which contained the trojan ulthar virus. I found out about the virus 3 hours after I installed the program. the way I found out about it is because I scanned my pc and it said that Trojan:Win32/Ulthar.A!ml was detected and it had been removed. Although it was removed I was still very scared and therefor I reset my entire pc. my question is can the virus still be on my pc and should I be worried about if it has been stealing information such as credit card, password etc?

Depends...how did you "reset"?

For me, nothing less than a full wipe and reinstall would be enough.
Then again, I don't download shady software...🤔

@USAFRet I chose the option reset this pc and it basically deleted everything although some files on my D: drive was still there but I doubt that the virus was downloaded on there since it wasnt my main drive. I'm now back on my pc and I just scanned it and it says nothing is there and its the same virus program as before.

i downloaded a fov slider which worked completely fine but I then later found out that it had a virus hidden in it.

@USAFRet I forgot to mention that I chose the option remove everything and then after that I chose local reinstall

Personally, I would still do a full wipe and reinstall.

Boot from a known good Win 10 install USB.
Delete ALL existing partitions and continue with a blank drive.

I dont got any usb drives available right now, and it basically did a full reinstall on the main C: drive. Some files were leftover on the D: drive but they were mostly just game files even though it had deleted all games on that drive too. and when I had the virus I didnt experience any strange things like it wasnt slow or anything it was running like it used to. I havent had anyone trying to login on my accounts anywhere yet.

this is what the virus program said when it detected the virus: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/781917478464520242/858038794161750026/ss.PNG (yes its a discord link I know had to ask my buddies if they knew what it was)

Well, its your system, not mine.

I know what I would do if a friend or family member came to me with a system like this.

@USAFRet I did a full wipe reset on my pc like you suggested and it seems to be working fine now. I couldn't seem to figure out how I could make a full wipe reset but then got it after some time. It completely wiped both drives and it reinstalled windows. It's like I bought a new pc. Hopefully the trojans gone now I also ran virus scans on Hitmanpro and malwarebytes and they say no threats found.

Good luck...😉
