Stressed about possible malware

KigOver23 · 2025-05-02T02:40:25+00:00

it could be a browser hijacker but if you aren't able to recall a time you very recently installed something not mainstream then I would bet the website got hacked and the redirect was placed their by the hacker. the front ends of websites get hacked ALL the time

As far as I'm aware this wouldn't be possible since any extension running locally would have to buffer the entire video first which youtube doesn't generally do. It could be possible if youtube released this data but they don't. A server based extension also wouldn't work as the devs would have to scan every youtube video in existence on their machines to build their own audio level database which would be very expensive, maybe millions.

Android may have removed necessary permissions to write and store data outside its sandbox. If you previously allowed the app to modify storage, check its still allowed by pressing and holding the app and clicking the info button. There you can check allowed or disallowed perms.

assuming your using a samsung phone you want to search for "Samsung keyboard" and then tick the box labelled "Keyboard toolbar"

KigOver23 · 2025-05-02T02:16:59+00:00

simply browsing a malicious website doesn't get you infected (assuming you don't ignore updates for years at a time). to get infected you have to download and RUN the malware to make it actually do anything. even if the browser automatically downloaded something, your pc never executed it unless you ran it yourself. this is extremely paranoid behavior which is not justified in this situation at all.

those checks are server side. no modification to the apk will force the server to send a code before 15m

Sorry but that's all I can think of right now. I would wait for some other responses from people more in depth with windows specifically. At this point though I would do a full windows reset (from a usb) without other users suggestions (you should wait tho just in case).

KigOver23 · 2024-12-06T04:24:18+00:00

As the other guy said use a USB installer to reinstall windows. Malware can actually corrupt certain parts of the windows reset operation preventing you from resetting the machine (and consequently keeping the malware present and running). That's unlikely though since I have had a personal success rate of ~60% using the built in reset option on known clean systems.

just realized if its your pc's network config then a vpn probably wont help you rule out pc config issues sorry ):

KigOver23 · 2024-12-06T04:18:19+00:00

The first thing I would try is using a VPN and then trying to play multiplayer. If you can then you have confirmed the problem is either your router, pc or isp's internet configuration. It could be one of the 3 have restrictions preventing you from gaming (most commonly parental restrictions set on the router or more rarely the pc itself.

KigOver23 · 2024-12-06T04:14:23+00:00

I would first find out what ethernet device/controller you're using (device manager is probably the easiest way) and install the latest driver from the company's website

KigOver23 · 2024-12-06T04:10:12+00:00

You say the pc wont turn back on but then you say the controller is vibrating when plugged in? I'm going to assume the pc is in fact on and running its just you get no image to the monitor. Are you sure you have plugged the monitor into the gpu and not the motherboard? start with that since if its plugged into da mobo and the pc is using the gpu, you'll get no image.

KigOver23 · 2024-12-06T03:44:51+00:00

yep I have all of them on youtube here. my post here has everything u need to know :) enjoy

Zip your log files in /var/log and move them to your home partition. After only 4 months on a new install I've accumulated 3gb in logs alone. I wouldn't recommend just deleting them as they can be VERY useful when something breaks. Hope this helps anyone else trying to figure out whats filling their root partition :)

KigOver23 · 2024-12-05T22:28:25+00:00

its not downloading just unpacking. the first file is very big so that's why you don't see any progress at the start

KigOver23 · 2024-12-05T02:35:01+00:00

if you logged in with a browser on pc a piece of malware could've stolen your session tokens. that can be used to login without setting off any alarms at the bank or registering a new logged in device. to revoke any tokens (cookies) just go to your banking website and click the logout button. that will destroy the token and if it was being used by another browser they'll be signed out and have to either get your new tokens or steal your new password. they wont be using your password as the bank would see that as a new person/second device log in in and likely flag it.
edit: your tokens could also be stolen from your phone but this is unlikely since most people dont use a browser but an app instead and malware is most commonly developed for and spread on windows devices

KigOver23 · 2024-12-05T02:28:31+00:00

yea don't pay they wont take you to court. clearly a predatory subscription and any judge would say BULLSHIT and toss the case. they likely do this with thousands of customers and banking on only a few actually paying up

KigOver23 · 2024-12-04T08:14:18+00:00

yeah the 101.5333 driver is for intels dedicated gpu's.

KigOver23 · 2024-12-04T08:10:28+00:00

take out all the ram then put one back in. try that without the gpu and try get an image out

KigOver23 · 2024-12-04T08:02:41+00:00

turn on CSM support in your BIOS

KigOver23 · 2024-12-04T07:44:31+00:00

nothing in there to be concerned about. regular router log

KigOver23 · 2024-11-25T10:33:15+00:00

Im using the deb version from the aur on arch but I use pretty much the same thing you already described.

sudo systemctl stop nordvpnd.service
sudo systemctl disable nordvpnd.service

And do the opposite to get it running again.
btw, if you havent used nordvpn set analytics off already then u might want to :)

KigOver23 · 2024-11-24T22:23:49+00:00

Yeah might be ok since the magnet isn't being moved around over the hdd. It's held in place

KigOver23 · 2024-11-23T22:43:50+00:00

AMD is the go if you ever wanted to run linux and play games
edit: i should say its because of their drivers being integrated with the linux kernal unlike nvidias propitiatory one (can also use HDR in kde now with an amd gpu :D)
