[QUOTE="devjit2020, post: 1016735, member: 94800"] This is my last experience when I got infected- it was during 2019 while I was here at MT and used to test ESET at the hub. One of my college friends came to me with his huge set of pirated games collection on his external HDD. I generally don't install pirated games but I always wanted to play Assassin's creed rogue and my friend had an ISO. I mounted the ISO and started installing the game. Just as soon as the installation finished the PC restarted itself, went into safe mode, automatically opened a couple of command prompt windows and then again restarted itself into normal mode. Now here's the SHOCK: ESET has been completely uninstalled from the PC o_O:oops::eek:. I downloaded Malwarebytes and it found a trojan and a coinminer. I reinstalled ESET again and ran a full scan and it also detected a trojan. Anyways I decided to restore from my backup image and stay away from pirated software. [/QUOTE]
