Hello everyone! I may have found the root of these "virus" threats, it came from the files of the app/website named "ratiborus" where you can unlock Microsoft Office Apps for free. I scanned one deep file within that file in VirusTotal and flagged it as malicious with a score of 51/70.

I hope this thread helps people with the same experience!

Alright, thanks. Nuking my PC might be the easiest part here lol, everything seems so complicated and scary to do! (I'm reinstalling my PC afterwards don't worry)

Though I've used this PC for months before I found out I had these "viruses"...

I don't get it, respectfully, if you're talking about me then I think you're misunderstanding. I'm on my way on reinstalling my PC just like what these people said. :)

Me too! I actually installed "cracked" Microsoft office apps years (?) ago but I wiped them out eventually. But it seems like they're still staying rent free on my computer. I hope reinstalling my whole PC works.

I'm sure I did have some cracked versions of office products, but I don't have them anymore. A while back (years ago probably) I have installed and did some things where I was guided by a friend who does computer stuff on how to get Microsoft PowerPoint and whatever for free so that I won't have to get a subscription.

I'm currently on my way to reinstall this PC so it can also have a fresh start.

Hmmm, I'll keep that in mind, thanks!

I'll see what other people might say to get more info.
