How To Know The Virus Is Gone With 100% Certainty | How To Check The Viruses On Your Computer 2021

[@clintonglasener6241]

But Nico, says the nerd that thinks you're a hero, what about the yellow entries....the "FILE NOT FOUND" which I'm guessing it means there's a reference in the reg that is pointing at/towards a file that is no longer on the system...can these be ignored? Should we un-check them since the entry might be referring to malicious files that have been removed by Tron/TDSS/RK, etc? (By the way, VirusTotal found nothing of concern on my phone...it DID however, find several entries that it could provide no information for, such as permission entries...very, very funny looking permission entries, that it could provide no information for. The two apps that are most unknown are system/hidden apps called "Tethering" and "Tee Service") You have essentially helped me, without even breaking a sweat, remove a virus, a rootkit, etc, that I was SOOO close to throwing out my entire PC after 4-5 months of dealing with it...it was an absolute NIGHTMARE. TDSS Killer kicked the **** out of some files, it took multiple reboots, between TDSS and RougeK, but it got the job done and for the first time, even before the programs were completely finished, my laptop (8GB/1TBSSD/AMD3.4), much to my freakin surprise, booted in less than 10 seconds as it once did, several months ago, when I first got it brand-new last year. I still don't know where the problem originated from BUT I WILL SAY that I purchased a Windows 10 Pro key online and I did NO research into the vendor, and that I only spent about 20 bucks for said key...I say it could possibly be the root cause-but then again it could not. I don't use the key anymore, obviously, because this laptop came with it's OEM key for Windows, which surprisingly wasn't deleted during the 3/4 formats that took hours upon hours to write 0s over the drive. There is SO much common sense in your information but it just didn't hit me like common sense...once I got a little bit of validation, not to mention a FREAKIN REPLY from the champion himself, NICO KNOWS TECH, I began to gain back the perspective I needed. Thank you, I am in your debt sir! You are highly intelligent and WONDERFUL for sharing with all of us. THIS CHANNEL SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST-STOP WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TYPE OF PROBLEM YOU'RE DEALING WITH...come to this channel. Get control over your machine...and your own perspective if needed, back and have piece of mind!

I was doing some research on a virus named "Uwamson" after my Windows Defender detected it and I manually removed any files that I have just recently installed, but I only ended up with a small number of relevant results from affected people giving different descriptions about this virus. Right now, I am glad that Autoruns is a thing that can help me find any suspicious files hiding around my operating system.

[@DatSwif]

I had a nasty trojan that used all my social media accounts and created a huge mess I had to clean up. Luckily I never saved any credit card info on that computer and I only lost an unimportant epic games account where I didn't set up 2FA.

I'm on the last scan with Roguekiller, what I can say is, this is good, this is absolutely much better than what I have tried on other youtube channels. For the past two months, I felt like someone was on my trail watching me, following me and seeing everything I do online. I got frustrated after getting notifications from every site that I have an account with that there was an illegal login attempt or someone changed my passwords. I deleted almost all of my important accounts to protect my privacy. The only account that I was unable to recover is facebook, sadly I'm an admin of three non-profit organizations in my community, and at the moment I can't gain access to any of them.

[@RitsyReelz]

Was stupid and desperate for a free-version of a soft-ware. So I clicked it, ran the exe(with Malware Premium on) and realized my mistake immediately. Shut off PC booted up safe Mode. I proceeded to run every Malware preventing thing under the book. Said there was nothing found. I then proceeded to spend 8 hours of my night(and now morning) just doing every scan, every check up, looking through every file and I have utterly screwed my sleep. I wanted to be absolutely sure I was safe. Still found nothing. I then just googled 'How can I know my PC is 100% safe from Malware' and I came across this video. I followed the TRON guide then I did this, still, nothing found and I believe I can finally rest now. Thank you so much. Might as well ask just to be safe- If I got a suspicious exe, ran it then NOTHING occured. I proceeded to boot up safe mode and scan everything with RKill, Malwarebytes then rebooted and ran tron. Then followed this guide and the entire time found no evidence/positive for malware. I am safe then? Hopefully so :)

[@notthebrandofsacrifice9261]

Most relatable comment I've found so far 🤣. I've recently downloaded a cracked software, ran it and later realized that it was probably a virus.

I went quickly to youtube to find tutorials on how to remove viruses and did all the things that you basically did. I'm really hoping that I'm done with my problem.

Hello, and thanks for your videos! A few nights ago, I installed a used stick of RAM I bought from a highly rated seller on eBay. Right after I turned my PC on, Windows Security said there were several viruses detected. I quickly turned my PC off, took out that RAM stick, and then turned it back on. I proceeded to 'delete' all those viruses through Windows Security, then I saw your Tron videos, completed all that, and Tron detected/deleted no viruses. Autoruns also saw no viruses. Do you think that Windows just saw a false positive after putting the RAM in? As it stands, the status of all those viruses on Windows Security is 'Cancelled' and it says they were possibly not fully deleted. But, my PC runs just as normal now as it did before and after it said I had viruses (actually better now, after getting rid of several GB of junk through Tron). Also: if no threats were detected on my PC using Tron, Autoruns, etc., is it possible my external Hard Drive (which has always been plugged in only to my PC), could be infected? I am a bit worried, although I believe it should be safe, though.

[@NicoKnowsTech]

The new ram stick probably just allowed windows to run a scan. Viruses can't be transferred via ram sticks because when they have no power, they are completely blank.

[@josephrichter2104]

@@NicoKnowsTech I basically got all paranoid for nothing. But, at least I cleaned out over 10 GB of junk and have more tools to figure out if I do have any viruses and that also delete them. I was just extra paranoid because I plan on transferring my HDD data to my external hard drives to go to a new HDD with a new motherboard and CPU. It's been four years since an upgrade, and my current motherboard isn't compatible with any CPUs that are much better than mine, an AMD FX 6300. Would you recommend a Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite Ax AM5 (289) for a new CPU like ryzen 7 7700X? I mostly make/edit photos and videos, browse the web with multiple tabs and play games every now and then, including newer ones. I can get that and the ryzen 7 770X for around 600 dollars.

[@NicoKnowsTech]

Hard to teach that. It's just experience. I recommend everyone to just avoid links from domains they do not recognize unless they run the URL through Virus Total. If users stick with the major domains (Microsoft, Google, Samsung, Apple, etc) and websites by well established names... They can reduce their exposure to malicious websites. I'm also working on videos which cover malicious domain lists, DNSMASQ, and other ways of automatically filtering out known bad domains so that even novice users can surf with confidence.

my main problem is adobe after effects crashes on start up. it has something to do with wmic.exe. the first time i scanned my laptop i had a trojan, and i’ve tried everything even a clean install (i probably didn’t do it right) and it still won’t stop crashing. my laptop is laggy and command prompt pops up randomly. i’m running tronscript right now. to make it even better it’s my college laptop :/

[@NicoKnowsTech]

Use a scanner like malwarebytes, roguekiller, or tron script

[@lovrostefanec7688]

@@NicoKnowsTech ok, tnx ill try that

[@lovrostefanec7688]

@@NicoKnowsTech do you have a way to check with 100% if viruses are still on or if i got rid of them?

[@elkevdlt]

Hi, process hacker and process explorer of sysinternals have same's color code meaning ? Because in Process Explorer i noticed a couple of purple color processes and you mentioned that can be a depurated kernel, so this is dangerous? If these processes are not have any detection in VT are good so?

[@NicoKnowsTech]

Are you sure they are purple and not blue?

[@elkevdlt]

@@NicoKnowsTech Yes, i am sure. I checked out and the processes are from GlassWire software. According the color scheme in PE, purple color refers to Packed Images. Is good? I'm sorry i don't know too enough about this things.

[@NicoKnowsTech]

@@elkevdlt It's fine. GlassWire does debug in order to check what's going on.

@@NicoKnowsTech Ok, undertand. Thanks a lot! Your videos are great. Greetings from uy 🇺🇾.

Hey Nico or other helpers, Could we verify companies with verified signatures? Couldn’t viruses disguise themselves as these signs? From where I’m seeing it (Autoruns), they have a false positive of (2/74). Thanks for your support.

[@NicoKnowsTech]

There are some rare instances where APTs (advanced malware) have used stolen certificates but these are only used in targeted attacks on large organizations. It is just too expensive to waste them on the general public.

[@Huntinised]

Thanks, Nico.

Everything for my pc is ok but. There is some files in system32 and syswow64 that are missing and they are .dll so I think that might be the virus I got rid of with tron. But the folder where the virus was is still there. What should I do
