    Virus in my router?

    I admit I was wrong about the router, but I had proven it was not the PC. So that's why I came here asking about the router, I was chasing an Avast bug. That's why I was ignoring advice about the PC, This virus is a pain in the butt nothing picks it up. Check my reply to him, I use a wired...

    Virus in my router?

    Everyone was so hell bent I didn't have a virus. Also like I mentioned in one of my replies I had gotten a clean system by just hooking up to the modem itself. I just didn't know about the avast bug. Go ahead prove me wrong install that file I linked.

    Virus in my router?

    I use a WIRED Cherry keyboard, and a WIRED mouse and I don't use accessibility options. That way I don't have to worry about dead batteries or interference.

    Virus in my router?

    Well let me apologize my memory isn't photographic and this had been going on for over a month. I did have a virus, Trojan I believe it's called. The reason I was focused on the system process is because it had used 100GB. The first 2 or so times I reinstalled Windows 10 the virus was still...

    Virus in my router?

    Wouldn't killing System cause a 169.x.x.x address? Also except that one time you mentioned I could surf the internet with system blocked.

    Virus in my router?

    OMG! Thank you! This was driving me nuts! I really did have a virus like I said in previous posts, someone did try to log in to my router and set off the captcha. Someone also changed my Eathernet adapters ipv4 dns setting to 127.x.x.x (I don't remember the exact number). Here is a link to the...

    Virus in my router?

    No I have a paid version of bitdefender I like and use. I was just using avast to see if it would pickup the virus bitdefender, Eset, Norton, and avast missed. When I get home I am going to put my old n66 back in place. So then I can see one way or another if it's the PC or router. I will let...

    Virus in my router?

    I got Avast from Avast's website, I don't run pirated software if that is what you're getting at. Typically hackers with advanced capabilities don't bother with a home network, and try to make someone's life miserable on some Win 10 machine... (unless their name is @Tech9 and they're running an...

    Virus in my router?

    No.. Most of the time the virus is in the uefi, that's why I used diskpart to remove everything that a standard reformat would miss. Yes a virus can infect your bios. It's extremely hard to do remotely, the hack on the democratic national convention was done that way. But why would a botnet team...

    Virus in my router?

    I don't think it is...The first time I wiped my PC I didn't do a diskpart on it. I wasn't sure what was going on since my folders were being highlighted and my mouse pointer moved from where I left it. I was using windows defender at the time so I downloaded avast free. Then when I opened the...

    Virus in my router?

    Yes, I have flashed the bios twice now using the one from the motherboard manufacturer. I'm using diskpart when I am inside the windows installer (shift f10) dropped to a command prompt and running diskpart. Both are correct I have been fighting this virus for over a month, so I have tried the...

    Virus in my router?

    I have checked the task manager startup tab, I haven't checked task scheduler. I will check that when I get home.

    Virus in my router?

    I did that, it didn't help. Also if I reinstalled windows from my thumbdrive I made from a known good PC a work doing a diskpart. While installing and hooking the PC straight to the modem it would be clean.
