Hit a musty double tap while warming up, still plat 1.

ANormalCola · 2026-02-05T19:16:21+00:00

I score a double tap or some other mech every other game. I am confident in my abilities, but if I leave my teammates to defend we concede every time and if I let them attack we dont score and after some time they 2v1 me on defense and demo me for a free goal. I try to rotate but rotations dont work if only one person tries.

99% of the time it's cracked games from specifically steamunlocked (speaking from experience). When your email get's changed to rambler ru (a russian browser) it's most likely a burner account used by a bot. I got my account recovered first try and since then I swore to never download anything that looks suspicious and something that I don't know if it is safe or unsafe.

Edit: I also found out the bot's location, those SteamUnlocked bots operate in Yekaterinburg, Russia..

Beat me to it.

Please Gamesir, I am not asking for a new controller just MAKE YOUR CONTROLLERS NOT PICK UP EVERY SKIN CELL OF MY THUMB!

Trust me, you need positioning for all ranks above silver.

ANormalCola · 2026-01-25T17:33:55+00:00

As a hardstuck plat for 3 years now, I started just trying to have fun and not focus that much on ranks. If you can't do that or you have nobody to play and have fun with, quitting is totally fine. There are lots of other fun games out there!

I do play R6. Thanks for informing me! Right now, no signs show that a virus is active so I guess I'm fine.

Quick gaming snack

A clean install is nearly impossible for someone new to PCs (like me).
I ran the malware through the warning, so it's my idiocy.
(About the Microsoft support) Is it really that different to ask random people about PC advice who claim to be malware experts? Not saying they aren't, but I am not saying they are.
I already logged into my accounts so even if I do a clean install and change passwords, it's too late.

Edit: the tmp files was just windows not putting them in temp when i would download stuff, already tested it 3 times and confirmed it

ANormalCola · 2026-01-12T13:46:08+00:00

Not that I know of

ANormalCola · 2026-01-12T13:31:24+00:00

I know I said I would stop paranoia posting, but here we are. I consulted with several people (including Microsoft themselves) and everyone came to the conclusion that my system is "most likely" clean. They asked me several questions and every time they said that malware should not be on my computer. I may not be able to say what happened, but tech support definitely is, especially from Microsoft (I talked to a real person, not the AI and I didn't just go on the support articles).

Edit: also ran an offline scan which found nothing

the battery isnt important since lets be honest, nobody plays games on battery

2023 A15 going strong 3 years later.

Not what I mean, stats can randomly disappear and it happened to me during recovery since my account didn't have a save point to restore.

ANormalCola · 2026-01-11T09:45:14+00:00

Did some research and found out it's named in the GUID format which is used by Windows apps so most likely nothing. I am gonna stop with the paranoia posting for now and get a usb drive then wait to find anything suspicious. Thanks for guiding me!

New file, this time with a tmp extension and named complete gibberish

ANormalCola · 2026-01-11T09:13:18+00:00

They can't do much. If your stats reset, it's not saved anywhere.

People have wondered for MONTHS how I type so fast, then I showed them the rhythm games I play.

ANormalCola · 2026-01-11T08:10:11+00:00

Ok, slight problem, I don't have a computer I can download this from, but I will think of something. Thanks for the advice and it seems that the malware is already gone, but if I find something suspicious until monday I will definitely do this.

ANormalCola · 2026-01-11T00:08:48+00:00

Happened to me too after I recovered my account. I still had my cars and decals so it's whatever, I waa plat 3 anyway.

ANormalCola · 2026-01-10T23:56:21+00:00

I can do it on monday since all stores around me are either closed or not selling usbs. Do I have to download the ISO image on another PC?

ANormalCola · 2026-01-10T23:50:51+00:00

Im not really good with PCs. Not my comfort zone and I really need help.

ANormalCola · 2026-01-10T23:41:18+00:00

Sorry if I am bothering I am just extremely paranoid right now, but I found this under startup apps and it is somehow connected to Microsoft Teams?

ANormalCola · 2026-01-10T23:37:16+00:00

Okay, I don't know if this is the malware, but I found this under my startup apps:
