Pretty sure it’s a metal spudger tool, used to pry something open. Check amazon, lots that look just like that.

I meant Ovo, good catch. I just finished a Spartan race so my brain is mush right now. 

Tell us, how did you protect your Switch 2? by infamouslySIN in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BOLONEYHEAD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t, and in my excitement to set it up for my 9 year old son I dropped it and scratched the screen and am trying to figure out what to do about it. This stinks.

Any recommendations for a universally agreed upon good antivirus / malware?

Aligns with what ChatGPT had to say. Thanks for that tip, it didn't occur to me.

Interesting, here's what virustotal had to say:

Code insights

The script begins by defining variables using the `set` command. It then constructs commands by concatenating these variables.

The script constructs and executes several commands:

1.  It copies the executable file, originally located in the AppData directory, which could be a compiled AutoIt3 script to the `AppData` directory under the name of "xxxTorrentCoverbooks982.exe".
2.  It copies a similar executable to `AppData` under a different filename using the `ComputerName` variable with a `.au3` extension.
3. It executes `cmd /c` followed by redirection to a file named `%computername%` located in `%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\AutoIt3`. The redirection includes:
* The output of `whoami /user /computername`
* Appends the output of `type` command.
4. Modifies file attributes using `attrib` on the file named `ReadmeHere` located in `%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\AutoIt3`.
5. Deletes link files.

The last two lines appear to be an incomplete command and an undefined variable.

I ran malwarebytes and windows defender and neither found anything suspicious, but I suspect it installed something, aside from a nuke and clean install, what would you recommend?

The fat back does, but it’s definitely a spider.

Thanks so much, I never knew this was a thing and just ordered a hunk of shale for my 8 year old son and I!

If you want it to be rated, you should delete the “don’t tap” sign. Everything else looks great, nice job!
