[QUOTE="Parsh, post: 863479, member: 58090"] Change the passwords and just secure the email in which you're getting Code Verifications, with 2FA. From what I know, you're already using 2FA for all emails now. No need of multiple sticks. Make the USB stick has the version of Windows matching the one currently installed on the concerned PC you're formatting (one-by-one, if you want to reset all PCs). Doesn't seem necessary at all, but if you think all of them need to be reinstalled, keep other PCs off when reinstalling on one of them. Then, after completion of reinstall on 1, directly begin reinstall on another (by booting to USB) ... [LIST=1] [*]burn Windows 10 ISO to USB stick (on a machine you believe is clean) [*]backup data that will be lost in Windows re-install [*]disconnect WiFi/LAN to make PC offline [*]disable Secure Boot for time-being [*]plug-in the USB to the PC and boot to it, by selecting USB in the Boot Menu [*]reinstall Windows on the System drive (you'll get many [URL='https://www.windowscentral.com/how-do-clean-installation-windows-10']online guides[/URL] for this, and for troubleshooting related issues) [*]after Windows is fully installed and reaches screen asking to create PIN, remove the USB [*]connect to WiFi/LAN and update Windows first (this also updates built-in antivirus) [*]re-enable Secure Boot in BIOS (next time when starting Windows) [*]download & install your desired 3rd party Antivirus [*]restore your data you backed up before reinstall [*]download other required apps from their official websites [*]add adguard/avira/malwarebytes extensions in your browser [*]keep a few scanners (EEK/Zemana/MB) in a folder, run scans periodically/when in doubt [*]setup automatic/manual data and system backup using popular utilities (view this forum homepage) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
