Just reboot your machine. If it doesn't start, you have the trojan.

how to fix?

install Gentoo

where did you download it from..?

Back up your important files to a USB storage device, reboot, if it doesn't boot reinstall windows.

install win98

if you dl'd from fosshub then you may have malware.

There are several threads about it already.

download.fosshub.com/


shiet

fosshub was infiltrated and the more popular downloads, audacity included, were tainted with russian malware.

if you installed audacity recently, you are probably infected.

just purge your harddisk and restore from backup. if you don't have backup then try saving all your important stuff with external hard drive/flash drive/ whatever media storage and purge your hard drive.

Do not shut down the system.
It may have modified your MBR.

Open source software? No thanks, I'm fine with my partition table.

I downloaded Audacity about a week ago. I downloaded it from the Audacity site, not fosshub though, so am I safe? Malware bytes showed negative

>if you installed audacity recently, you are probably infected.
I installed it today to record some stuff for the vocaroo thread on Sup Forums

>purge your hard drive.
I have OSX El Capitan installed in my third hard drive. Do you think it is gone as well?
Also, how do you purge your hardrive?
Gparted>new partition table?
Is that enough or do I have to write 0s on the drive?

>I have OSX El Capitan installed in my third hard drive. Do you think it is gone as well?

probably not.

>Also, how do you purge your hardrive?

use linux dd command to write zeros or random to every bit on the disk

>use linux dd command to write zeros or random to every bit on the disk
All drives? I have 1 SSD, where Windows 10 is installed, one Seagate hard drive, where I keep my games, and one Western Digital drive, where I keep the OS X and my torrents and other important stuff.
I have Parted Magic on my USB flash drive, tho. I hope it helps.

well once a machine is compromised, you have to assume the worst case scenario is every thing is compromised.

but since this is not a CIA targeted operation I think you would be fine with purging just your windows 10 drive and reinstalling it after you evacuate all your important data.

>foading FOSS from obscure downloader websites
You got exactly what you deserved, desu

It's the main host in some cases.

Some sites link to it tho

>for windows

i always thought this in pic related was enough :(

Where the fuck did you download this?

>sudo apt install audacity

and maybe soon a confined snap

A few people are working to get Linux apps running in Windows 10 via Ubuntu bash

sure

but purging your hard drive sounds way cooler

That's retarded, but nobody forced you to follow the link.
You wouldn't click on a facebook liker, just because some FOSS fags or pr0n sites embed them in their page, would you?

apt for windows when?

but the user said i have to write zeroes all over my hdd with dd :(

foss is bad

i'll stick with apple and microsoft from now on

>but the user said i have to write zeroes all over my hdd with dd :(

you don't. just deleting everything would be fine.

*In fact* i personally didn't.
Because i got my stuff (portable versions) from SourceForge with verified checksums and then checked them on jotti.

Yeah? Is creating a new partition table with gparted enough?

i believe so.

>falling for the """free""" software meme

Stallmankeks BTFO

Just restarted my PC. Booted fine. Looks like i dodged a bullet.
Also, qbittorent doesn't stall for me.

No thanks.
Probably botnet too
