You probably didn't harm anything by deleting that file. Malware likes to hide in the AppData folder and subfolders and as far as I know, that file definitely should not have been there. When you run Autoruns, click "File" in the top-left corner. Click "save" and save the file anywhere you want...

If you don't want to use it any more, and you want the data gone, just destroy it. Set it on fire, blow it up with firecrackers, shoot it, smash it, really anything that causes serious damage to it. You can't make it unusable with software as far as I know. I don't understand why you would want...

Maybe try disabling ESET for a bit and then trying to use Steam or one of the other programs. You should be able to temporarily disable it by clicking the arrow on the taskbar, then right clicking the ESET icon and clicking on "Pause firewall (Allow all traffic)."

Don't reset everything. Check your DNS settings on all your devices and on your router. Disable remote access to your router. Run a malware scan of every device. If possible, run a full scan of every directory on every drive. If it doesn't stop I'd call the police. You need to have a good bit of...

Actually, you can be infected from hovering over links. You won't get infected from hovering over a link on Twitter, but in emails and shady website you can still be infected if the author uses "onmouseover" in Javscript.

I have a Ryzen 1700X and an EVGA GTX 1070 SC. In every VR game I've played I get more than 90 fps. If you plan on doing VR, I'd build a new Ryzen system with at least a GTX 1070. The extra processing power from a Ryzen will definitely help in a lot of games (at least from my experience).

I use the Oculus Rift with touch controllers with my new build (see signature) and I can get a steady 90+ fps in most games with the pixel density set to 2 in the Oculus debugging tool to help with readability of text. Your PC should definitely be able to run most VR games with little to no...

As far as I know, the miner should be fine. Almost every antivirus/antimalware program detects it as malware, because they are unable to tell if you wanted to download it, or if it was dropped by something else to secretly mine cryptocurrency in the background and send the earnings to someone...
