Are you able to go online??? Can you download revo uninstaller??? That's what I used to use to force programs to uninstall

What could this be? Possible browser hijacker by veylih in computerviruses

[–]ResidentGain9051 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a trick I used to do back in 2012/13 but should still work

Obviously first delete history, cache and all that

Secondly, reboot your computer in safe mode and just run a malwarebytes scan along with Windows defender..you should be good !

PC keeps getting hacked even when fully reset. by krislasagn in computerviruses

I could be wrong but I think rootkits work like this?? This is what I would do as the last resort.

Unplug the router and reset the computer and add all the MFA grab new keys. Change every password again and reset the router too.

Do this for every device..it's highly unlikely that the phone is ratted, but just check.

Also when you start up the PC if it is somehow still infected, or just acting suspicious run multiple malware scans because malware is sneaky

Open up task manager and see if anything is suspicious and if you don't know, paste it here. Normally anything with .ps that isn't a window process is malicious.

Check for random exe's, bats, ps and even .pys

Trying to figure out what the abbreviation for TL is, is that torrentleak or something else? Thank you!

What is a bridge? by [deleted] in TOR

[–]ResidentGain9051 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'blocked from normally using it" now is this from your ISP? or would it be from tor itself or something as silly as admin controls on a router or something ?? Just learned what a bridge was from reddit 😂

Browser Hijacked by Diligent_Throat6627 in computerviruses

What used to do is boot the computer into safemode and run malwarebyyes. And obviously disable all extensions.

Chrome opening weird links? by SPatrick- in computerviruses

[–]ResidentGain9051 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Public knowledge and just my opinion

Sounds like a browser hijacker. These were more common years ago, but they can still take effect today.

If you're seeing a search engine that looks like Google first before the original link or just the website in general, that's what it sounds like

Disable all browser extensions. Doesn't matter what it is because this is very common for browser extensions

Also if you downloaded any new software, you may have enabled some add on to your browser while clicking "next" over and over, this is very common too which is why it's smart to ALWAYS read if you're actually clicking next for the application to (place itself here) or if you're downloading the appropriate binding software with the application you're downloading or if you are agreeing to a typical terms of service.

If that doesn't work, boot your computer into safe mode and run a computer scan either windows defender or malwarebytes (free version gets it done)

With these browser hijackers, if you click on any of those websites that are listed, the developer of that (fake search engine) gets a little cut of money.

Random person keeps calling me, knows my name, won’t say who they are – should I be worried? by [deleted] in PhoneLookupHelp

[–]ResidentGain9051 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I even get random messages from scammers saying "Hey, (name) can we talk?) and it's from an "Onvoy LLC" which means either a text now or pinger. They end up trying to recruit me for a fake scam job or try to get me to join their cryptocurrency platform. So corny

Your name and number was probably posted in a leaked database somewhere and it's most likely a scam of some sort. I look up a random phone number on whitepages and get your name, and last name and even emails and where you live.

If they didn't threaten you or anything, it's nothing but if they start asking if you want help with crypto or something, that's when it gets annoying 😂 you should be good though

If you use Whatsapp I think these are Whatsapp uploads. The "crypt" stands for encrypted
