"I am Sorry !!!!!" sentence in every screenshot I took since I downloaded Steam on my laptop

[T.BlackDeath]

ok so this is weird, I've been taking screenshots in Life Is Strange Before The Storm and everything is cool, till I found something strange in every F***ing screenshot I took there is "I am Sorry !!!!" in the bottom left of the photo.

example: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1863795183
example 2: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1863792110
example 3 (csgo): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1863821770
I experienced the same thing with Dark Souls III when I took a screenshot of the video settings menu in the game

is there any explanation or fix for this strange problem?
Any help would be appreciate it since this is hella strange

that is a virus. if you consistently uploaded your taken screenshots, then you acquired it in the last 2-3 days. it modifies every jpg.

scan your system

One possible explanation would be some joke program is running, and is targeting your files and adds the text to it, just before uploading it to the screenshot server.

Just out of curiosity: which operating system does your laptop use?

Could be a ransomware. So it modifies many files and asks for money.
At least thats what you can read about it.

Personally i would go the better safe than sorry lane. Format and reinstall.

Thanks guys, I'll format and reinstall my OS, since my main steamapp files are in the other partitions I don't think that I need to format the other hard disk partitions other than Local Disk (C:)

I will post anything new in-case someone experienced the same thing over the time.

Something contained that malware. You need to find it.

apparently I found the virus, it's called "Ground.exe" the icon of this virus is the same icon of Dark Souls III, which I installed 5 days ago.. and whenever I press "open file location" for this Groundy thing it takes me to the roaming folder of the system.. and there is no hidden files that I saw even when I allowed seeing the hidden files.

I turned the "Ground.exe" off through the startup tab of the task manager, and I prevented the app from having contents inexed in addition to file.

theoretically the virus can't work anymore, but I am not sure if it can't reinstall itself like 90% of malwares.. so I guess formatting the OS is my better choice right now.

Glad to hear u found a fix for it

Google is your friend, then. You need to completely remove that virus.

You need to invest in a good security and anti virus setup.
