The sad truth is that some pc users don't want to listen to great advice like yours. I listen and follow this advice and am a safer user for this, thank you for your common sense thinking.🙂

A Trojan is really no joke, I have two pretty much identical laptops both with windows 11, and one of them has a Trojan. There are so many extra tasks, renamed actual tasks with incorrect icons, etc. My system restore points have all disappeared except for from last week, I have even seen my mouse moving on its own, and programs open that I have not used when I come back from the other room. It's pretty scary

Agreed, safest is to format and reinstall, or just stay away from dodgy sites and downloads, but sharing thumb drives is a huge culprit. It was possible to remove some virusses years ago, but it took finding references to a virus in regedit, stopping services, and deleting dodgy exe's.

Say if a pc is infected, would that make a everything else infected like a USB that you have few driver's on?

I’m watching this now as I reinstall windows after I willingly saw and acknowledged the supposed trainer for a game looked suspicious in multiple ways and ran it anyway for nothing to happen. “Oh well” Thankfully my time with Arch has made me very comfortable with this procedure.

What happens if you have all your files backed up in Dropbox? I have some important files I can't lose, so what's the best way to keep them? I know Dropbox doesn't scan for viruses, so would it be pointless to do a clean install and then download my backed up files from Dropbox back onto my computer? I don't know how else to retain my important documents...

So if i have a virus and i factory reset my pc will i be safe because i downloaded a virus and i did not know it was but if i rest and remove files i will be safe? Because the virus that was on my computer was pulling my passwords and other stuff i just want it gone no matter what it takes so if i reset this pc i will be safe?

You should still reinstall windows just incase, mine was still infected even after it was removed

I've got virus in my PC and it won't let me open windows defender menu, install antiviruses, or let me create a windows recovery key. Whenever I click on the reset this PC under updates and security, it auto closes the window and prevents it from popping up. I've even run Tron but it's been of no use. Can you please help me reinstall windows 10 on my pc?

Damn thats some serious virus, to the point that even tron dosent work?! Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm not that experienced but I'd say the best way out, if you haven't found a solution yet, is to just fresh reinstall with a USB stick, (download windows installation media from a different computer to the USB just incase the malware dosent spread to the download somehow)

You guys don’t listen to him on the antivirus part because antivirus does work just if you aren’t already infected already. So make sure you get an antivirus if you don’t have any viruses yet as it will prevent you from getting most malicious viruses. (I would recommend getting a paid antivirus like Norton especially if you have personal information that is important to you on your computer but the free ones work just fine). But if you are already infected there’s no chance of you saving your files and you will need to reset your windows. (This time you should get an antivirus. 😂)
