Hi, I suspect my PC may be infected with a RAT. Could someone please help me check for malware/persistence and determine if anything suspicious is present?
Thanks!

Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop. --> IMPORTANT

If your antivirus software detects the tool as malicious, it’s safe to allow FRST to run. It is a false-positive detection.
If English is not your primary language, right click on FRST.exe/FRST64.exe and rename to FRSTEnglish.exe/FRST64English.exe

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
  • Right click on the FRST icon and select Run as administrator
  • Click Yes to the disclaimer
  • Click Scan and allow the program to run
  • The scanner will produced two logs on your Desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
  • Please copy and paste the contents of each report in separate reply windows
Next..: Please upload FRST.txt and Addition.txt to:
Log Upload - Fenris ... and the site will return a keyword for each of the logs. Please upload the logs under your current username -peeeerrlesss
... Reply back here with the keywords returned from the site after uploading FRST.txt and Addition.txt.

Thread '[Closed] Suspected RAT infection'

Hello,

I am requesting help determining whether my Windows PC is infected with a RAT or other malware.

For approximately two months, I have been concerned that my computer may have a RAT. I have been checking the computer very frequently, sometimes almost every day, but so far I have not received any confirmed malware detection.

What I have already done:

  • Ran multiple antivirus and malware scans.
  • Had the system checked by two people with malware/security experience.
  • Used several different security tools.
  • Used multiple AI-based analyses as additional opinions...

After running the Fix script, I was logged out of Twitch, ChatGPT, and other websites in my browser. This did not happen before running the Fix.
Could this have been caused by the Fix script, for example by CloseProcesses: or EmptyTemp:? Is there anything I should check or do next?
