Viruses, Malware and other shit

What do you do when your Common sense 2016 pro edition antivirus fails you?
I got my computer infected yesterday and now I'm after a few antivirus scans, a fresh system install, another antivirus scan and now I downloaded another antivirus that is scanning my computer just to be sure.
So? Any tips? Any stories?

I hope this thread doesn't die

I hope it does

My sister downloaded the Sims 5 and got our family computer locked by cryptolocker, had to buy entire new drive and hope it wasnt firmware ransomware and just waiting to fuck shit up again

>download nonfree binaries
>common sense

ok kid.

Get tested for learning disabilities.
I've never had to do that, because I'm competent and literate.

Why not just wipe the drive? Why buy a whole new hard drive?

install gentoo
fuckin normies

Do you really fucking think that the type of cuck script kid malware whacko that disguises their cryptolocker flavour as The Sims 5 will really go so far as to nuke your disk completely by flashing itself to firmware?

Wtf are you on user, you're a fucking liability.

I got no problems with viruses because i use McAffee, i recently paid to renew the subscription of it.

jesus, talk about paranoid

Just a one time accident. I rarely get viruses, once per 2 years or so. Also the torrent looked legit the only suspicious thing was that there were ~300 seeders and no comments, and the person who uploaded the torrent had only 4 torrents up.

install gnu+linux

>public tracker

That was stupid. The ONLY time I had a virus (and a worm) was because I wished to analyze whatever it was on the closed training network we had and eliminate it. They immediately jumped to a flashdrive when plugged in and I exposed it to a controlled environment, found a fix, and cleared it out. It was a pair from like 2004.

I remember the last time I got a virus was from a Sup Forums link 3 or 4 years ago. I just happened to stumble upon chink malware while torrenting, shit happens.

Also just installed my os (again) I just hope the viruses haven't spread on other partitions. Just checking if everything is ok.

Common sense won't stop website hijacking or zero day exploits. Just imagine Google getting hijacked and redirecting you to like 100+ different malicious sites

Zero day expolits are possibe. But hijacking google?

Your sister deserves a good hard fucking. Why haven't you given it to her yet?

Why do you assume this would ever happen? This isn't 99.99999 effective shit, if you don't know what the fuck you are doing common sense isn't the right choice for you.

>implying he is using common sense
>downloading cracked vidya from private trackers and getting malware
Yeah, I have a tip for you - stop downloading cracked shit.

Wait a few years and post on Sup Forums once I'm 18

Like you can't get shit while downloading Chinese cartoon porn.
