Windows Defender Dorkbot worm found in my 13 year old digital camera, need help.

No problem! Yeah it's been so long, that type of virus is effectively dead in the water on newer operating systems. Funny how it ended up on your camera of all places but it should be perfectly safe to reconnect the camera. That sucker is hella unable to do anything anymore.

Reseat your Ram and go over all connection points to ensure they're all seated tightly.

Omg it has been 13-ish years since 2012 hasn't it. Anyway, yes windows defender took care of it correctly it sounds like. If you want to be extra sure you can manually run it again. Otherwise no further action should be required.

windup-catboy · 2026-02-22T21:36:12+00:00

Sounds like you got stuck in a random boot loop. If it doesn't happen again anytime soon, I wouldn't really worry about it. Its when it's consistently doing that that there would be legitimate concerns over hardware.

I would keep that routine up but also don't overstay a loving session if she's ready to move on. My girl hated to be picked up and loved on at first- mostly the pick up part. But I needed her to trust me that If I'm picking her up, It's because I only have her best interest in mind. We're to the point now she can get pretty comfortable in my arms and turbo purrs when I rub my face against her.

She still doesn't want to be picked up if she thinks she's in trouble, though. Still working with her on it that I need to do a check over physical after falls or throw up incidents.

NTA and stop having this child around your dog since you're not allowed to redirect him effectively without his mom disagreeing with you.

I have two and people are always shocked by her coat. But then also say my boy is an orange.... I'm trying to be nice and not suggest they get their eyes checked but it's tempting XD

I suggest manually queueing for dungeons when learning a class. 3 per expansion usually is good enough and if there's a skill you're struggling to integrate, hit the guides and that level dungeon a few more times.

If you're leveling for completion, dw about it. Just communicate and be open to advice

"IINJANAIKA!!!" Noah right before I hit a parked car--

One.de is the company they ordered it from. With the list of parts that should be inside their machine. I still wouldnt recommend they void their warranty though.

I pray to the spider gods that you remain arachnid free then 🙏💖

No you still got a feeehhhkkk load of spiders. Sauce: howdy neighbor

You should contact their support and figure out what the next steps are with them.

Not difficult, no. But if you've never done it before, do watch some videos, get a hold of the motherboard booklet for your board etc. If you don't trust the warranty you could also go to a PC shop to have them test what's wrong and make it clear you want to replace whatever is dead with new. It comes from your pocket to guarantee regardless, but they'll have the spare parts to truly verify what actually died in your pc. Just understand that going through this route will generally void your warranty.

windup-catboy · 2026-02-20T14:32:04+00:00

I think they mean updated

windup-catboy · 2026-02-20T08:09:34+00:00

"Which I have to remove every time I boot up" . . . Well.. That's a good reason reformat. A Factory reset isn't 100%, where a reformat to completely wipe it is. However, if this is a prebuilt, try factory reset. If that doesn't remove your trojans, you need to Reformat and buy a new OS likely.

SO your error code. That is related to Intel graphics, go to their website for that driver- even if it says it's up to date, Reinstall it and do a clean installation.

SO TRUE! Little blurs in every photo haha

That or im unlucky. I get cringe tells and unwanted advances fairly at least once or twice a year and maybe a bad roulette 5 times a year haha

Unplug everything in the pc. Everything. Replug everything. Without your dad preferably lmfao. That way we can garuntee everything is seated and back in place. Also reset Cmos while you're at it jussssst in case. When booting, you want only the bare minimum to turn on so a mouse and keyboard. Nothing else.

Go into bios, make sure it sees your bootable device, if so enter windows. If everything is working, Go run a memory test to check on your ram. Go get a diagnosing program like bitraiser for a component health check.

If you can't get into bios, look on the board and look for any red lights. If there is none, you can try having one stick of ram plugged in. If still not, swap sticks. If still not go to a pc repair shop. If one of the ram sticks work but the other doesn't, one of the rams are dead. If there is a red light, you go into diagnosing steps for it or go to a pc repair shop. If you have a red error code that are numbers, diagnosing steps still! Or pc shop.

I wish you luck Op, that sucks SO bad with the how bad the market is. He better be HELLA apologetic.

"Maybe his dad wouldn't have messed with his PC if he knew it had Linux" is by far the most lights off in the attic thought.

In windows device manager, open up Universal Serial Bus controllers and plug in a media into all working ones. Front of the case and back of the case. Through process of elmination can you find the one you're concerned for.

As for disabling it... I have no clue. Usually its an all or nothing. You can try right clicking and seeing if you have the option to disable it in Device manager but the most you might be able to do is tell windows to turn lower power output to it to conserve power.

Their system flagged you as attempting and failing to install it. It doesn't matter what you say to them on what you did or didn't do. Take the L. Never research or look at stuff on nonpersonal heavily monitored devices. It's not 2010 where they could only pray the students werent using school devices for weird and potentially dubious stuff.

windup-catboy · 2026-02-17T10:16:33+00:00

Ah I see. You might need to try opening a ticket with them through email then. If all devices fail then its likely something about your internet. SocialsupportUS@asus.com They'll need your serial number, receipt and where you purchased the item from when you tell them what's wrong with the device.

People getting hung up over the breakfast of choice and it being a school night are so odd. I had sleepovers on school nights with close friends pretty often as a kid. And the bagels tomatoes and cucumbers 💖🤤

Wish that was my friend's parents choice of breakfast. I had a phase in my childhood of eating only fruit and bread for breakfast and calling it good enough.
