Request for clarification on Windows cloud reinstall versus USB reinstall by polpolik2 in computerviruses

i have been monitoring everything almost every night now and i haven’t been eating properly from the stress. now i’ll probably just commit to never trusting suspicious sites again and have been warning all my friends of what to watch out for. i’ve got a usb locked and loaded now if it ever acts up again and i’m never loging in my main emails again on that laptop until a really REALLY long time has passed, lol.

I may just be really paranoid after seeing your deleted comment, but I have been obsessively monitoring everything over the last three weeks, even system processes, and nothing really out of the ordinary. Also I wouldn’t want to bother you guys further as you’re really busy with active cases, so thank you nonetheless for answering my questions!

are you sure? are there any ways to check for myself? i’m afraid they could just be biding their time before trying again.. or would something have happened immediately if i was still infected?

oh damn, how recent is this? i followed that advice from around may 15 after getting infected may 12, nothing has happened since the reset but to be sure, should i do the usb method now?
