    rundll32.exe high network usage, should I get worried?

    Well, both an Avira and MB scan gave me the okay. But now Avira is stealing all my CPU https://imgur.com/oXzn3Pk It just now disabled itself, what the hell is happening?

    rundll32.exe high network usage, should I get worried?

    I was playing games with a friend online and I started lagging heavily. We started the usual routine of alt-tabbing and checking our task manager to see whose fault it was and I noticed rundll32 (location: /Windows/system32, on W8.1) was at high disk and network usage. Things stabilized after a...

    How do I know if this is a false positive or not?

    Might as well use this topic again I tinkered with the suspicious software a bit and even putting in into Avira's exceptions and straight up removing the euristic module running the exe gives me a windows error saying there isn't enough memroy available to run the service. Both PCs I tried with...

    Best Chrome extension to download Youtube videos?

    I think I'll settle on youtube-dl, which seems perfectly secure being open source and all. Still thanks for the inputs!

    Does Malwarebytes anitmalware protect you from just malware?

    My personal combo is Avira + Malwarebytes. MB is not PRO, if you use the PRO version disable the real-time security. I also find very useful extensions like adblock, Chrome download manager (just to make it easier to block a possible exe which is downloading by itself) and Web of Trust. Adblock...

    Best Chrome extension to download Youtube videos?

    Bare functionality is good too, I just need to be able to download videos (so not just sound. Whether there is sound or not doesn't matter as long as there is video) and possibily have a bit of choice in format (lmp4 and wav would be ideal). I've found flvto as a website but it opens up a bunch...

    How do I know if this is a false positive or not?

    thank you so much, I did some research and I figured it was something like that but I still found weird HEUR/APC (Cloud) had its own Avira database page like a full blown malware. Thanks again!

    How do I know if this is a false positive or not?

    I downloaded a utility tool to mod a game which is widely known and used in that game's community, got straight from the developer's direct link. I scanned it before running it with both Avira and MB (like I do with EVERYTHING I download) and found nothing. But as soon as I ran it Avira blocked...

    Pretty sure I have some Virus, Avira and MB don't agree

    I'm pretty sure I have some malware or virus in my PC: weird processes in my Task Manager (like TWO rundll32.exe, and when I click on any of them and select "Open process's path" it does absolutely nothing), a window showing files copying without me doing anything etc etc, but both Avira and MB...

The cursor appears when I login but the screen stays black for another minute before loading the icons, trying to open a folder or anything takes another minute...
