How can I remove this virus? - Guest_ - Jun 07, 2019
Yesterday I downloaded a Detective Pikachu torrent with more than 4000 seeders and I got a 1GB powershell shortcut. Being the usual idiot that I am, I decided to double click on it thinking that a shortcut couldn't really do anything. Then I get this brief cmd window pop-up, nothing appeared on it... I found it weird so I deleted all the files and I search on Google if anyone else had the same problem. I found that sometimes it's related to rat-like malwares which scared me a little bit. Today I came back to Piratebay and apparently the link as been deleted. When I get things like that, normally I wipe everything on my hard drive but this time I can't really do that. If anyone knows how can I delete the virus (if there's any) please let me know.

Well, the obvious solution would be to grab one of the various anti-virus software programs out there, or something like Malwarebytes and let it scan your computer. If you have Windows Defender, you could let it do a scan and see if it finds anything.

ADW Cleaner probably will do the trick for ya. It's free so give it a try

Sure, I did that. Still can't really know if it's there or not, guess I'll just stop being paranoid. Thanks for the answers! The thread can be closed now. Unless I'm the one supposed to do so...

Simple and banal answer. Using a professional AntiVirus or, if you are at an average level with electronics and computer training, you can also use a "pirated" Professional AntiVirus...

That scummer repeatedly infests this site with his 1.3 'videos'.
See if you have a working system restore. Or hopeffully a recnt registry backup.
Check rregistry for run=and runonce= entres. Check services.msc and msconfig for any odd programs running.
Run hijackthis and see if the analytics site is still working with it. Check%user%/local/temp or any files you cannot delete and upload them to virustotal.com. Check the boogger file for urls, and blacklist them (hosts file). AV may or may not find thess types of boogers.
If you dont USE powershell, disable it. Just rename it, or move it off the path so its thre if you ever need it.
And... if you are new, dont ever, ever, ever download NEW files, unless you *know* who the POSTER is.
Screw the files: Its the poster that counts!

Something I can think of is Hijack this, after running a virus scan and cleaning up. Its a part of Trend Micro now who also makes a program called housecall which offers a free scan. I would start with the scan first
HJT It scans and provides a list of everything running on your computer... I would NOT recommend removing anything unless you are sure it's bad. If you are really worried about leftovers, this may be an option...but again, proceed with caution...

in future download into a sandbox or at least run it in a sand box. Comodo container is one. I do not know about others
