Can you send a picture of it?
sounds like you downloaded a ransomware
what kind of executor were you trying to download? can you show a photo of the download and your files?
Arceus X
And it’s opening browsers
yea you've definitely downloaded a ransomware
Any way to get rid of it
don't pay or do the ransom, reinstall windows from scratch
How do I do that
Reinstall Windows with the installation media
- Microsoft Support
Learn how to use the installation media to reinstall Windows on your PC.
be careful with downloading random antiviruses from the internet. a lot of them are viruses themselves
windows defender is a lot better than most people give it credit for
you will lose all your data by reinstalling but chances are you've already lost a lot of it anyway
I don’t have a spare computer
you can try to see what you can salvage but no promises
@w33t second opinion though?
because this looks a hell of a lot like a ransomware but their word files are still word files
It just closed out my file explorer
Do you think if I try to delete the files that are embedded it would try to embed itself into more files?
that's not how ransomware works
Oh
well I barely know anything about this, sorry
Don't download any of these roblox executors to cheat in the internet
they are detected and all of them are rat currently
ok @Skid Patrol close this out please
oh i can delete it
not really a skid but alright i suppose
didn’t think stating the obvious would count me as a skid
I mean I'm sure you're correct, but we just don't discuss stuff that violates Discord TOS like that
alg thanks for telling me 👍👌
also skid patrol is just the mod ping, breakin rules, not that you're a skid :P
oh alr thanks for telling me i was confused at first lol
Oh my
Watch out for those types of files, if their file names are weird like that, with numbers on the end. Its usually illegitemate (sorry if i wrote it wrong)
