I was doing a bunch of pc optimizations and overclocking last night, and was stupid enough to disable some security to save some cpu clocks. I was stupid enough to try downloading some cracked voice changers, and one of them came from a Russian sight. I should have known better, but they all scanned clean of viruses, so I thought what the heck? Woke up to a tooooooooon of unkown processes, and my computer had turned itself on, around 5 hours after I went to bed. Malware bytes showed 3 Trojans, almost 350 pup programs, and over 1500 malicious cookies. I deleted them all, and now windows is throwing me a corrupt file message on launch for "file: \windows\system32\osloader.exe" I can boot into safe mode, but my computer refuses to boot properly now. Also, I noticed a new boot option that was previously not there named "aQuantia aQtion pxe 2.0". This could be a coincidence though, as I recently installed a new bios on my asus zenith extreme, and didn't check the boot options after I did so. I'll give freefixer a try shortly and update with my findings.
