I got some malware yesterday, here are the sites I visited as a warning

Windows defender showed it as being a trojan- it appeared as a popup with a sports betting page popup anytime I opened my browser. I quarantined it and took care of it and did a few different scans with windows defender and malware bytes, all of which came back negative after the initial scan....

BrandoCalrissian9229 OP ,

as it were, I wouldn’t have, but it was in the FMHY wiki as a starred site, so I figured it was trusted

BrandoCalrissian9229 OP ,

I have firefox as it were

BrandoCalrissian9229 OP ,

I presently have both uBlockorigin and Brave’s native adblockers at work, so not sure how it slipped through there. Definitely gonna look at the userscript manager though

BrandoCalrissian9229 OP ,

probably but it was on the FMHY wiki with a star, so idk. Kinda weird that one of the best and most trusted pirated resources would have a malware site listed as one of the best options

BrandoCalrissian9229 OP ,

movie and tv streaming and sports. I wonder if it wasn’t one of the sports sites as it was a sports betting pop up, but the susflix was the only site that seemed to have anything bad according to the virustotal site.

BrandoCalrissian9229 OP ,

it wasn’t actually netflix, it’s literally a site like Fmovies but with the name susflix??

BrandoCalrissian9229 OP ,

so the way it worked was that it would only open the popup when the browser was opened and it would open it in a separate window. I could close it out but upon restarting the browser the popup would come back up.

After this I performed a scan with windows defender, which found and quarantined two things it labeled as trojans, and then with malware bytes, which found a couple of other bits of malware that I can’t remember how it was labeled. Seems like it’s all cleaned up now

BrandoCalrissian9229 OP ,

indeed. I use both. I happen to have brave AND firefox on my laptop, as I’ve been making the transition to firefox the last few months. I’m entirely on firefox on my desktop, but I mainly use brave on my laptop. I used it to stream the aforementioned things on Saturday

BrandoCalrissian9229 ,

yeah that’s pretty crazy lmao

Anybody use this site for custom cursors before? Is it safe? rw-designer.com/…/wii-cursor-by-stefano-tinaglia

BrandoCalrissian9229 ,

same, frustrating as heck

BrandoCalrissian9229 ,

As someone who is interested in starting into the world of linux, was having a second hard drive necessary for creating a dual boot system or were you able to do it all on one hard drive?

BrandoCalrissian9229 ,

yeah, that’s always been the way I’ve understood it, but it seems like not many laptops these days have multiple drives

BrandoCalrissian9229 ,

awesome, thanks so much! I really appreciate it

BrandoCalrissian9229 ,

I see! The three partition system seems very handy.

BrandoCalrissian9229 ,

I do in my desktop, not on my laptop.

BrandoCalrissian9229 ,

oh, that’s definitely less than ideal. I can see why a seperate harddrive is almost more than necessary

BrandoCalrissian9229 ,

I may end up doing that. Or one of those USB 3.0 Flash Drives.

BrandoCalrissian9229 ,

I think I will definitely check out a virtual box first! My uncle actually recommended that to me at our 4th of July gathering and I thought it was a wonderful idea, I just haven’t sat down and done it yet.

I currently have two different SSDs on my desktop- do you think that it’s possible to put a linux distro on my secondary one that I use for videogame storage without causing any problems to my videogame data, or would it be better to get a whole new drive for it? Thanks again for all your help!

BrandoCalrissian9229 ,

My desktop does have a dedicated gpu in my pcie slot. I just assume my laptop has integrated graphics with the board, its an average/below average hp pavilion from around 2018.

I have 2 SSDs in my desktop, with one containing gaming storage and the other being the boot drive. I would prefer to experiment with linux on my laptop though, and I’m pretty sure it only has the 1 TB HDD. However, all sensitive data should be moved from that shortly so that I may have room to tinker/play around with it.

thanks!
