So, I just got my brand new computer assembled by professional. Everything is fine-tuned, over-clocked, boosted swapfile, hiberfile, TRIM and much more... I'm so happy ❤ :D!!!

The person that did it is trustworthy. He even sometimes work for small companies (I think).

But with his skills... You know, it only take one single small rootking to steal your bank account, for example.

I already installer Kaspersky Internet Security 2020 with Application control turned on. Scanned the system using multiple on-demand tools, Malwarebytes, and even one that was bootable (BitDefender, I believe).

So, can I include for example like FRST log to ensure that he didn't pack the system with a little nasty surprise? Or maybe aswMBR? Or GMER? Or Combofix?

Is there anybody specialised in this particular field (Making sure that system that apperently looks clean is really clean?) that is willing to help me :) ?

BTW, I know that maybe this should be in a different cathegory, but I would like to discuss thi issue a little.

I hope I didn't offend anyone or did anything against forum rules.

Thank you everyone, have a GREAT day!

Since it's a new computer .
Best idea would be to flash lastest bios (can mitigate some attacks)
And reinstall windows .

When I sold my old laptop, it was well configured, it was undervolted and overclocked. The max temperature dropped by 30C during load.
When my friend sold that laptop, the new user complained about it, he reinstalled it and it died within a month. Well, each to his own. :LOL:
Hahaha .
Undervolt is such a great thing to do with every hardware especially in hot climate.
In laptops it actually increases the performance most of them time .
And technically can increase lifespan.
