That explains why AVG (is AVG any good btw?) didn't detect anything when i did a computer scan.

how do you people keep getting your computers infected??

This is the first infection ive gotten since i got i a ransomware on my first computer like 3 years ago.

and i've literally never had an infection on a computer that only i used, which has been 2 desktops and 2 laptops, over the last 10 years

you're doing pretty well for being not computer savvy, though. i'm not trying to shit on you, i just don't understand what you guys are doing wrong

one of my colleagues got ransomware on her work laptop a year ago too, and lost a shit load of her work

me

for the last 3 years i've also only used microsoft security essentials. when i used to use NOD32 and malwarebytes anti-malware, they never picked anything up either.

Pretty sure i got it from a Russian mod site, normally i wouldn't go anywhere fucking near it but there's a ton of mods that can only be found there. Fucking Russians

sounds about right

sorry i can't actually be helpful with this, i'd be able to help physically by troubleshooting by myself but i am not familiar enough with this stuff to give clear direction

good luck OP, stay away from those russians
