Aso i wanted to ask if there was an infected computer on the same network on mine can it infect my computer ?
Aand i factory resetted my computer so everything is new
AI factory resetted my pc and on windows 11 so I think everything is updated so I’m I fine now ?
Gyea you're fine now
Gif you don't have any reason to believe other computers on your network are infected you're fine
ABut what if there was an infected computer can he ?
ABut I changed my username and password after the factory reset
A@guninvalid over coax alliance

Gi understand you're worried but i promise you you're fine
Gwhat did you even download? what evidence did you have that you were compromised?
Gfactory settings windows10/11 is pretty secure already
OWrong image lmao
Gno right image
G:giggle_girl:
ABut why do people say yes or no I just want to know can the computer with malware hack my computer or no ?
G:texassigh:
Gyes, it is technically possible, there is a possibility of it occuring
Gbecause being on your network removes a bunch of layers of defense
Gbut windows 10/11 have pretty good default settings in 2025, they're resistant to most types of attacks out of the box
Gso as long as you didn't disable windows defender firewall, you're fine
Gwhat did you even download? what made you think you had a virus?
Acan you tell me whats the possible ways he can hack my computer ?
Aafter the factory reset i instantly turned off rdp but its actually turned off by default and file sharing is off by default too
Abut does he need to have my device password to like enter my computer or no ?
G"he"? who is "he"?
Ai mean the infected computer with malware
Gyou can't have zero risk
Gthere's always a risk your system is hacked
Abut how can he hack my computer tho whats the possible ways ?
Gi don't know, but Microsoft does
Gthat's why Microsoft sets the defaults to exclude RDP and file sharing
Gyour system isn't even connected to the internet until after your system is installed and updated
Ayeah i know but im just scared the infected computer can compromise my pc
Abut the people i heard from they say its impossible and they have seen on it like 2016 or 2015
Anot now
Gyea it's still impossible
Git really hasn't been a thing since 2010 or 2015
Gevery modern operating system, especially windows, has a firewall and malware protection by default
Gbut i feel like if it does still bother you, i am unironically suggesting you switch to MacOS
Gmac does still get viruses but Apple is very good at preventing them
Aidk but i just take people advice and go straight
Aby the way just received this when talking lol 
Gyes this happens every single day
Gthe last statistic i saw there's a cyber attack every 39 seconds
Gbut also, about 60% of attacks are conducted through phishing
Ghere actually i think my general advice could help
Alol
