Hello, Its been over month since Virus/malware infected my pc and caused me a lot of problem such as Not delivering my final project in time (im student using 3d enviorment software).
I've tried boot and then boot to bios and yet infection returned. I've noticed only when I purchased external hard disk and ran .exe application which made behavior effect similar to "refresh" and nothing happened. Long story short PC barely preformed and most likely infection disabled gpu(3ds max cant work without and games wont launch).
I've connected to infected PC both study material Flash and later on Boot Flash, and of course lets not forget damn external hard disk.
At some point I asked IT to clean bios and he assured me no virus can survive bios reset. I attached Hard drive and Flash and virus returned.by the way External hard disk been formated before I attached it.
My questions:
So I wonder can it still be in External hard disk/Flash or maybe hacker using IP adress since he already acsessed before.
If its inside External device should I clean first PC or the devices?
Is it possible to track the person responsible in case its directed and not random(not saying i know because im not). Lets say through ISP tracking data. Most likely hacker will use proxy so unlikely to trace him, Am I right?
One more question,I've noticed inside Router settings that Ipv6 is disabled and Ipv4 is enabled. why is that? I remember I always used 6 and not 4. Does this endanger PC? And how?
I'll post my problem in malware section for help. Mean while id be happy to hear some answers to my questions.
If its make any difference virus/malware erases program data,takes away administrative permissions and there is weird folder in appdata/locallow/microsoft called cryptneturlcache, and always install VulkanRT
