Sadly if your pc gets malware, absolutely everything is compromised. You can never be sure without atleast shredding both ssd and hdd with disk erase tools. Also you cant just download ssd erase tools or dban on your computer anymore, because your pc could infect the usb/dvd. Find a clean...

I used ubuntu

Ccleaner was mysteriously disappeared and i read some malware does that. Then usef ubuntu briefly and scanned with clamAv and it found 50 infected files which sounds crazy. Didnt stick around find out what it was. I didnt know that clamAv was seriously outdated so maybe thats why it got infected...

I am assuming i had spyware in my pc earlier, and when i get new pc i wanna make sure i wont get infected by the same criminals when i plug the new pc online.

So someone could hack through the firewall with ip when i install fresh Windows?

Also how vulnerable for attacks is Windows 7 before installing all the updates? I am little concerned because i need internet connection to download updates but it also puts pc at risk

My router had no password at all

Dvd player actually has a firmware so its possible attack vector. But dont know about usb ports and psu

Also what about Power supply unit or dvd player?

I have old pc case which has 2 usb ports that can be connected to motherboard. Is it possible that malware could reside in thise ports and then infect the pc which uses this case?
