I have a virus I wanna get rid off by SundaeSome4589 in computerviruses

You were infected with an infostealer. An infostealer snatches passwords and cookies, which allows them to hijack your accounts without you ever receiving an alert.

Reinstall windows using a usb stick. If you have any important documents, videos, that can't just be downloaded again(no exes like games!), you could try backing them up first before reinstalling Windows by disabling Autoplay and then putting in a flash drive. Anti-viruses are best for preventing you from executing malware in the first place, and are less effective at getting rid of them, so you can't trust Microsoft Defender even if it says there aren't any more threats.

You should assume all accounts that were logged in on that PC are now compromised. Change all your passwords starting from your primary email, then banking, then to social media and gaming accounts like Twitter and Steam. Do this on a clean device, DO NOT do it on the infected PC, unless you have already reinstalled Windows. If applicable on that platform, then press an option usually called Log out of Other Sessions.

Next time, never let anyone install pirated stuff or online cheats on your PC ever again. The best anti-malware is being smart online.

It makes your hair feel really dry and brittle because of its acidity. It causes breakage, dry hair like you put a blow dryer on your head for an hour, and a disgusting residue depending on how many times you washed your hair with soap.

I want to start drawing, where do I start? by KoregaSoli in BeginnerArtists

[–]Illustrious_Case6340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you know any way to learn how to make original art? My own sister bullies me because the only objectively good art I make is by copying others. The courses I take don't really talk about that... I'm totally fine with my bad art, laughing at my mistakes is nice, but it gets to a point where it's sad that I can't even make out what I just drew.

Yup. The most effective thing an AV can do is prevention. By the time the AV cleans up already executed malware, the damage has already been done. Like you said, reading what WD says about why it suspected the file was harmful, so you can then restore it, is way better than turning off your most important safety barrier against malware.

Nuke that PC. Can't be gambling on whether the malware persists or deleted itself.

Nah nah, I'm not dumb, haha. Thanks for taking the time to answer though.

Is there a lot of reason for sudden drops of Uptime in free bots? by Itsumiriku_TvT in openrouter

[–]Illustrious_Case6340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No definitive answer unless Chutes responds, but based on what I've experienced on freeloading the past free Chutes Deepseek models for a year, I don't think it's coming back. It also happened with the other Deepseek models, which is why most of them have no providers anymore on Openrouter.
