i deleted the windows store
my taskbar flashes every 10-15 minutes

Probably some malware shit that rewrote host files and redirected all internet traffic to their gay "buy my software to fix this problem!" All shit that used to happen in like 2005 when my whole family had to share a pc. Used to just reinstall windows completely to fix it, now you just load adwcleaner and malware bytes from usb, and thats IF youre still stupid enough to get fucked by one.

Ransomware that implied I downloaded CP. My wife saw it and left me. Can't see my kids anymore and now I'm living on the streets using free wifi spots and an old Thinkpad.

endlessly popping up malware when I tried to pirate an officer activator. I had to install MalwareBytes and force that shit to launch, and spent the next five days cleaning the thing from indian datamining programs

kek. I would've just formatted the disk and reinstalled Windows though.

definitely fake but sad if true

the average Thinkpad user, this also explain why thinkpad users like ultra-secure and virus-free OS, they dont want that to happen again

Be me, 14
I have a machine for 2 years and only use it to play some games and draw stuff
Don't know shit 'bout computers and don't give a shit
Win98
Have it reinstalled 2/3 time already and know it's easy so don't mind fucking it all
Virus creates many infected files in the windows folder
Files have weird names
Manage to limit memory leak by simply deleting all the weird files every two hours
Delete some important system file I shouldn't have
Windows is broken
Seriously broken
Reformat hdd, reinstall win98, tadaaa
>It was the same year my CPU cooler stopped randomly and I restarted it by hitting it vigorously with a screwdriver. Good ol' time

I had to reinstall Win98 so that I could play AoE2 again.

>2003-4ish
>pre-teen
>wanted some porn
>scover google for some hot shit
>saw a link in page 20+
>click it

I'm a fan of loli, hope my future wife don't mind my collection

hey guys what's this virus thing like?


like the flu but for laptops? how do you get that


never heard of that, but i think the genius bar dude who sold me my laptop mentioned something about that

I once bought a computer, and it already had Windows 10 installed

Windows Defender popped up and stopped one a few years back. DAMNED FUCKING INVASIVE BOTNET.

My ISP constantly tries to give me a keylogger lmao. Nice try hauser

I have a kuro figure and my gf doesn't mind or pretends not to notice

Terry Davis 2?

Windows activator that installed some Chinese media player that started playing random Chinese propaganda. Uninstalled it but some chinese words were left here and there in menus and such.

provide proof of your hardships good sir

Be me
Own 14k machine botnet
Feds find it
Feds find me
Go to jail for 5 years
Not supposed to use computer

ransomware that didn't even let me boot my pc

it just goes straight to a message and a link to pay them off to get your PC back

I think I fixed it either by malwarebytes or reformatting

>memory leak
imagine being such a faggot that you think you know things but you misuse that term so brashly

Been there lol

It installed gentoo but I didn't know how to use it so I've been stuck compiling this comment for 3 days

Adware once, but that's it.

>be 9 or some shit
>try to go onto website can't remember if it was amazon, ebay, or some other site
>windoes fucking blue screens
And i used windoes, but then both of these situations aren't really viruses

It was malware I got from some shitty archive site that was full of “l337 hacker” rar files, and anarchists cookbook tier text files back in like 2007. It changed my desktop wallpaper to a bunch of mildly menacing shit, and made windows XP unusable.

>run system recovery
>virus still there
I had to reformat and resinstall

never got one

I only downloaded and installed a virus 2 times in my life that I remember.

First computer I ever got when I was like ~12. Had for about a day before it got locked up with ransomware. I had no idea what to do so I returned it and got a PSP. Didn't mess with computers again until I was around 15-16.

>be zoomer with no internet
>go to internet cafee
>mind you this is thirdworld cunt
>open up a 30min session for like a dollar
>leave 2 vidya torrents downloading before I leave
>come back next day with usb, open up 1hr or 1:30 depending on copy speed
>leave
I did this in multiple cafee, one particular cafee game me shortcut shit and I also got caught in two of them kek because internet was shit and they'd get fucked when downloads are on.
good times

>game
gave

I like this

I had popups like crazy ( I think this was on XP). Couldn't find the process to kill and and was making me nuts, blow it away and reinstall. They came back right after reinstall.
>Things that make you go Hrmmmm.
Found a hidden partition on the HDD so I nuked that and everything was OK after that. I still don't how I got it.

Stupid question but I'm not involved in cybersecurity, why don't you just wipe the drive then boot from a backup? Surely if the virus isn't downloading your info elsewhere you can do that.

I posted this on /cyb/

I was on the omegle site and i was talking to some guy. I knew this guy was running scripts and shit.

Ran into him again and this time he was doing even serious malicious shit. 10 seconds later, i couldn't move my mouse or keyboard. I exited my window manager and saw my tty saying xorg crashed.

Started x again, went on omegle again, met the same guy, this time he knew what music i was listening to and told me he keylogged my computer. 2 secs in i took out my laptop battery and thats that.

So pretty much, omegle is a bot/malicious script infested site.
Since omegle uses javascript and javascript is cancer

i think he did a javascript attack

Javascript-based:A malicious script tag is injected into a targeted web page, and listens for key events such asonKeyUp(). Scripts can be injected via a variety of methods, includingcross-site scripting,man-in-the-browser,man-in-the-middle, or a compromise of the remote web site.

fuck javascript

he knew what music i was listening to on youtube btw

if you think omegle video is not safe
omegle text isn't safe either
any website that runs javascript isnt safe.
the internet itself is one huge botnet.
cyber warfare is rampant
