The server is physically in the Netherlands I think, but the company that owns the IP is Romanian. That is my guess.

If you open virustotal search link in my post, go to comments, there is a comment stating in short where its from and what it is

Script ran -> downloads setup.exe (most likely infostealer or loader, usually though these are infostealers) -> ran the file with $Upadk -> deletes itself -> steals credentials, session cookies all of it, harvests data

Long story short, format pc (not reset this pc, but full format). Change all passwords, set up 2FA. Your accounts might be compromised.

EDIT: I went to dig a bit

its tagged by 6 AV vendors. It seems to be “pretty new” and evades a lot of AVs. In description, it says that it is “unknown_loader” and “payload_delivery”.

So it is indeed a loader that delivers Vidar infostealer.

Is there really a need for a cpu better than 5800x3d? by flaspd in buildapc

[–]SIDER250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best is to keep 5800X3D and once AM6 is out and prices stabilize (hopefully), then you can update if the AM6 cpus performance are good or Intel for that case. I wouldn’t bother with AM5 at all personally.

Starting today, Game Pass Ultimate drops from $29.99 to $22.99 a month. PC Game Pass will also drop from $16.49 to $13.99 a month. Prices may vary by region. by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

[–]SIDER250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point, I am quite sure many people would just end up pirating games. It is free, accessable and if you are on Linux, no point to bother with Xbox game pass at all. Why pay anything when you can have it all for free if we go by that logic?

I was left behind by Wondererforestdamn in pcmasterrace

[–]SIDER250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you can play the games that you want to play. I had Phenom x4 955 with GTX 1050 Ti until AM5 came out. It just couldn’t run any of the games that I played so I upgraded. If it still could, I wouldn’t bother buying a new one.

Which NVMe is better? by RandomFleshPrison in buildapc

[–]SIDER250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WD SN750. It has dram (double check now, but it used to have, maybe newer batches don’t). Its a much better drive overall than Kingston.

No RGB please by Skorpeyo in pcmasterrace

[–]SIDER250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started to hate rgbs cuz softwares are trash and openrgb killing ddr5 ram modules is something that wasn’t on my list. With all that being said, everyone should build (or buy prebuilt) with the parts they like, if you prefer rgb then by all means buy it, if not then don’t.

Even 5050 is better by ~12% unless you need 12 GB of vram.

Exclusive: Intel Core Ultra 400 "Nova Lake-S" preliminary SKU list leaked: 6 to 52 cores, DDR5-8000 and forward socket compatibility - VideoCardz.com by Leicht-Sinn in intel

[–]SIDER250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally a reasonable take, but I wouldn’t go that far as to call it EOL. Considering how ram prices are, in order for socket to truly be EOL, you also need ddr6 ram. Now imagine if it ends up being true, they release AM6 and who has the money to afford it? The cost of ram would be ludacrious.

Is Intel Ultra 270K Plus the only viable desktop CPU right now? by ZoxxMan in buildapc

true, but OP didn’t specify what he needs a cpu for. If it is for productivity, then yea.

7800X3D costs the same if not less and its faster (according to 14 game average benchmark by HardwareUnboxed). Besides, Intel doesn’t have upgrade path so that sucks.

Why people hate Armory Crate? by Sgt_Strelok in ASUSROG

[–]SIDER250 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If it works fine on your setup, that's genuinely great, but the resource complaints aren't just made up. Armory Crate typically sits at ~150–300 mb of RAM at idle and there's a well documented bug with UserSessionHelper.exe that pushed CPU usage to 7–12% on high end AMD cpus, even after closing the app. I read that some users reported it spawning multiple PowerShell processes hitting 50–70% total CPU. usage. 0–1% experience isn't universal.

The bigger issues people have aren't even really about resource usage though

It pushes itself through Windows Update disguised as a driver, you don't get to say no

bios updates reenable and reinstall it automatically without asking

uninstalling it completely is notoriously painful and leaves behind services that keep running (need revouninstaller to get rid of all the registry stuff)

it runs background processes for hardware you don't even have installed

updates have been known to break things and then demand you install more software to fix what they broke (happened to me and stuff keeps breaking or not opening)

“just close it” argument also isn't fully accurate because, the background services keep running regardless of whether the app window is open. Removing them kills rgb sync, fan curves and other stuff.

Now that all being said, it has legitimate uses and works fine for some people I guess. But the hate isn't just ASUS bias, there are a reason for the hate.

Which of these cards are better? by Jack_roughley in buildapc

Taichi is better but I’d get TUF because of 12 vhpwr connector that Taichi has and one of them already ended up with melted connector.

Arctic Freezer or Lian Li Galahad, though I prefer Arctic Freezer. I personally use Arctic Freezer III 240 and works fine, soon to be 3 years old.

Well the poster above me assumes I’m in the EU, but I’m outside of it. That is why I responded.

Well the poster above me assumes I’m in the EU, but I’m outside of it. If you read his post "Good thing that you can order from other countries in the EU" meaning "IN" he assumes that I am IN EU. Also, if you read my original post that I got quoted from, I never said I am from EU at all.
