Robocraft hack gone TERRIBLY WRONG! Help! (RESOLVED)

[DarthSandpaper]

I installed a file called "robocraft_money_cheats_no_survey" and I was hoping it would let me have infinite Robits. (Also before I get further into this, I was going to put this disscusion on the Robocraft disscussions but only officers can. ANYHOW!) I moved it to the desktop, scanned it with Windows Defender and Kaspersky Antivirus and it checked out fine, so I opend the file wich has a disk logo on it that was the hack, thought the disk logo was nothing, and opend the installer inside the file with the disk logo, installed it, and robocraft was kinda screwed over... the "Heavy Artillary Brawl" or something announcment that was in the loading screen to advertize, wouldn't go away, and I had 0 robits, then I was like, "umm.... k...." So I tried to delete the file that had the disc logo on it and it wouldn't delete because it was "running." I checked task manager and didn't see it. Reserched the internet and opend up Control Panel and went to the uninstall tab, managed to uninstall the file that the installer installed, then I tried deleting the the disk logo hack file again, it was apperently STILL running.... I opend the disk logo file again, tried to delete the installer, there was no delete button on right-click................. "S***" Now I'm stuck with a disk logo hack file on my desktop! I can't even move it out of my desktop because its "running." I am now worried it is in reality a virus soon to burn out my expensive gaming PC.... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU(CENCORED)







Hey Microsoft! Yah you! Put in an undo feature that can undo litterally EVERYTHING! Or at the very least a "delete anyway i dont care" button!






Don't trust disk logo files! Delete them while they are in your "Downloads" file!





Resolution: Reboot, delete or it was MalwareBytes being like, "i don't care delete it anyway" when I tried to delete the file.

I must have missed the news, now antivirus is 100% safe and finds all virus, even new ones out of the box?
And it finds and reverts all the virus has done?

Not that I know of it just asked me to scan out of the box and a few minutes later I had 33 threats in quarintine.

Then you had at least 33 threats.

The file has been deleted. Thank you RGX12 for telling me about MalwareBytes. Must have been the restart tho that was required to finish deletion of malware. The disk logo hack file is gone tho. Now to reinstall Robocraft...

Just to make a simple example: The virus could redirect all your traffic, and the antivirus wouldnt know.
The best victim is the one who think, i have cleaned my pc now, while the problem still exists.

This is just a possibility. Though, you should know about it.

MalwareBytes didn't see it as a virus but idk. The situation is fine now. My PC is clean.

If you have a legitimate version of kaspersky AV, you should be fine. I find it to be the most relyable anti virus out there. it has never failed me, but i really have never installed anything i wasn't sure of, as in "where does it come from and what does it do".

what i would do is open kaspersky and do a complete scan of your system. it will take a while but if there is a virus it should find it. don't use windows AV at this point. kaspersky should have actually disabled it.

MalwareBytes complete scan takes minutes, Kaspersky takes hours.

it doesn't take hours for me, it does however take a while, but from the non open source ones kaspersky is your best option.. but i'm not gonna discuss it any further, you do whatever you like.

What did you expect?, a cheat that can magically hack into the game server and add stuff into your account?.

You know their server is secured just like any other server?.

Do you think you can add money to your steam account by just using a hack that can "magically" hack valve's server just like that?, seriously?.

You should be glad that your Robocraft account isn't banned yet for attempting to use of cheats.

In the end if that hack gave me infinite robits, it would be worth every second until I get banned. But now I have gave up in the serch for infinite robits.

It just gives you an infinite ban.

Stop (trying to) cheat(ing) in online games.

That's because most malware these days are technically not viruses.

In any case now what you should do, after rebooting, is to do another scan using a different tool, for example you can use an online scanner such as the one from Norton: https://security.symantec.com/nss/getnss.aspx?langid=ie&venid=sym
or ESET: https://www.eset.com/us/home/online-scanner/. Pick one and follow the directions on the website. These will perform deeper, more thorough scans than the one that MalwareBytes did, so you may need to let it run undisturbed for a few hours or perhaps even overnight. (To save time, I advise you to do a "disk cleanup" (available from the Windows Administrative Tools menu) BEFORE the malware scan. Get rid of system temp files, Internet cache and temp files, and empty the recycle bin. The scan will run much faster if it doesn't have to deal with this stuff.

And finally, when all that is done and your computer gets a clean bill of health, do yourself a favor and create a *restore point*. This is easy to do and takes just a minute or two. If you've never done it before, just do a web search with those terms + your OS version for exact directions.

Good luck.

There are several red flags in the name of the file already.
Not only what it actually says.
But the intent. They wanted to convince you to install it.

[RGX12]

Also, don't forget to keep Kaspersky (or whatever your real-time A/V software is) up to date and running. And stop installing random programs without vetting them first, especially highly suspicious ones with titles crafted to appeal to your baser inclinations (as Muppet pointed out)--otherwise you'll shortly find yourself in hot water again. Even the best anti-virus program is no substitute for common sense and discretion.

infinit stupidity is for free and also ruins your computer.
