This is probably not the right community but I haven’t found a better one.

So I watched a video from Seytonic where he mentiond that some malware creates a windows link with the name of the usb on a usb. So I checked my usb because I remembered that I had to click 2 times on my usb to opened it. I found a link that contained cmd.exe and a name of a file next to it. Upload to the virustotal showed Raspberry Roblin worm.

I use Linux but my familly uses windows so I will have to go through all familly computers and remove the worm. Where can I find info how to remove this specific worm - Raspberry Roblin? On google I found a description about how the worm works but not specific files it creates and how to remove it.

The first page that shows up is microsoft.com and it says that windows defender detects the worm, but clearly it doesnt.

Edit: The worm was on one computer and it did not have windows defender installed. Seems like malware removed it and also disabled automatic updates. I installed MalwareBytes and sucessfully removed the worm :)

      Edit: turns out there are brainwormed redditors out here. Ignore their downvotes and you will be fine following advice.

      Yeah… No. Pick any other reputable company.

      Kaspersky is one of many Russian “oligarchs”

      Edit: I think this paints the picture pretty clear… So worth adding to the discussion. Note the domains that are voting for this post vs not.

        I think this is poor form, and I won’t be surprised or sad if your one-person instance gets defederated by other instances for this kind of behavior.

            Activitypub is open by nature, kbin users can see everything that I’ve published.

            Yes, we know how Activitypub and kbin/mbin work.

            There’s no abuse happening here.

            Others seem to disagree.

            Nor is my instance just one person/user.

            My sincerest apologies: three user instance 🙄

              Others seem to disagree.

              That’s fine. You/them can disagree all you want. Just realize that they’re using it too. I just disagree with the default Lemmy stance that users can’t see something that everyone else on the fediverse(including moderators and admin on any federated instance) can. And if they want to defederate me for that. I’m not sure I care. I’ve been defederated from one instance so far… it’s not been a major loss and definitely doesn’t weigh on my conscience at all.

              My sincerest apologies: three user instance 🙄

              I have no interest in disclosing how many users are using my instance. They can post things if they want. That’s up to them. Many are just lurkers though.

              This nonsense is largely invented by Democrats and people at Washington

              Didn’t know my own analytics is Democrat/Washington run. I guess I should go yell at the people OPNsense (Suricata), WAZUH, and Crowdsec. They must be injecting false notifications about my networks being targetted by shit from Russia and Chinese owned IP space!

              Yes I edited the post, but you also seem to abuse powers as an admin of your one man instance to see unedited content.

              It’s an abuse of power to read the post that’s sent to my email? Well shit! Even for a moderator you seem to not even understand how lemmy works. Let me enlighten you. I got an email with your post in it because you responded to me. What an abuse of Administrative power! Forget that 100% of activitypub network is openly published and thus viewable by anyone… Ooops.

              Lmfao… you reported my post… and likely blocked/“moderated” it on your instance. Don’t really care. To the point though, when 100% of downvotes on a comment is strictly from lemmy.ml or lemmygrad.ml instances. Yes, you’re shills, not a single opposing opinion between you. No discourse. No actual thought process occurring. Just “Russia/China good, rest world bad”. No nuance at all.

              You also failed to address your stance that you published. Why is it that every other platform you originally listed was a problem where Kaspersky isn’t?

                  And that includes a lot of the netsec people who see this stuff.

                  Wait a second! I though NO serious security people are Russophobe? Are you changing your story now?

                  Your own little vote charter shows one dbzer0 user upvoting as well

                  You have the evaluation backwards… Outside people are coming to different consensuses based on opinions and experiences that’s normal… It’s lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml that don’t. I would EXPECT that results were mixed, but for your instance it never is. You seem to have missed the point.

                  What if China and Russia started treating .us or .ca or such domains like this and demonise countries?

                  They literally do. Have you not heard of the great firewall? The vast majority of the internet is unusable to China… and requires a VPN to access anything. Hell, I’d say the lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml instances acting as hiveminds downvoting anything critical of Russia/China is also evidence of this. It’s OKAY to be critical of a government.

                  It is you people who project the hate you possess onto others, and you even manage to be proud of it like an absolute idiot with no merit based judgement capabilities.

                  Not even close. I evaluate everything as I see it. You seem to be making a lot of assumptions here. Kaspersky has strong ties to the Russian government that is sufficient to warrant any “serious security” person to evaluate a different solution.

                  I did not fail. It is too clear to me how you are parroting US propaganda, even quoting a Democrat (Russia hater party) about it.

                  Yet bitdefender is a problem… And you can’t address why Kaspersky would be any different… Talk about parroting.

                  What room is there for reasoning with a crow like you, shitting everywhere happily?

                  Crows (Corvid family) are the smart birds… You mean pigeon.

                  Edit: Actually come to think of it? Why the ravenous defense of Kaspersky at all? It’s just an anti-virus software no? Why does me disagreeing with the use of Kaspersky in this instance warrant “makes you look like the worst slurs I could summon for an incompetent clown.” Don’t you see how unreasonable you look? How you look like a frothing lunatic?
