5 viruses on my pc?

[jwchav97]

i went on google then out of no where my antivirus went crazy saying that there were 5 viruses on my pc from this one website and it said some guy from russia is attempting to login into my pc, luckily this virus scanner built into my pc is scanning my pc for viruses and will take an hour until my pc is fully scanned, i tried looking at my history to look for the website i got the 5 viruses from, i didnt find anything sketchy but i found a website i never heard of called "rumbomod.com" and i swear i have never gone onto that website, how did i get these viruses it just started happening today

You got me already with McAfee telling you that some Russian dude is trying to hack into your PC.

Suscribed.

i subscribed to it a very long time ago, and one of the popups said theres some russian guy trying to login into my pc

No matter what you do, DO NOT push the red button.
Someone will eventually contact you, maybe a hacker, maybe someone from a secret society.

Just keep your head low for a while and let things cool off. They will lose interest.

Ok so the human verified website wanted to allow notifications and when you open the browser you get these fake mcafee sites to download and install malware. At this point, if you haven't clicked on those pop-ups, you should be fine.

Reinstall Windows, you have adware/malware installed. Really just reinstall, who knows what other trash you have installed on your machine.

And in the future do not installed random crap you found on the web.

just incase theres actually malware on my pc i have a few antiviruses on my pc

During my time working tech service, the worst-off machines were always running "a few antiviruses". In fact, that was usually half the problem with their machine. The AV softwares were all competing with each other and hogging a ton of resources. The moment you removed them the machine instantly would become more responsive, like it was breathing a sigh of relief.

I think some of these users were also lulled into a false sense of security with all their expensive anti-virus software. The best anti-virus on the planet cannot replace simple good security practices and common sense.

It was particularly frustrating when I would get a customer's machine all cleaned out and running smoothly, and when they came to pick it up I would try to explain that more security software does not necessarily equal more security, and what to watch out for on the Internet, not to install random crap and not to trust any random ads they might see. They would nod along like they understood, but without fail a few weeks later they would return with their machine just as bogged down with crap as before, and then act like it was my fault because I removed all their very important security software that they believed kept them safe.

Oh well. Kept me employed at least.

For my own (Windows) machines I just stick to the default built-in Windows anti-virus. I run Firefox. (You can just as easily use Chrome or Brave or what-have you though.) I use Ublock Origin for Firefox[addons.mozilla.org]. (Here it is for Chrome if you prefer.[chrome.google.com]) And of course the biggest, most important security measure... So important that if you have absolutely no other security measure you must still have this one... Don't be stupid on the Internet. Trust nothing. Know how scams and phishing and malware all work. Be familiar with the attack methods, and you'll better be able to avoid them. Never trust an anti-virus fully. It's only a safety net, and a poor one at that.
