I found a worm on my USB (monero.town)

This is probably not the right community but I haven't found a better one.

So I watched a video from Seytonic where he mentiond that some malware creates a windows link with the name of the usb on a usb. So I checked my usb because I remembered that I had to click 2 times on my usb to opened it. I found a link that contained cmd.exe and a name of a file next to it. Upload to the virustotal showed Raspberry Roblin worm.

I use Linux but my familly uses windows so I will have to go through all familly computers and remove the worm. Where can I find info how to remove this specific worm - Raspberry Roblin? On google I found a description about how the worm works but not specific files it creates and how to remove it.

The first page that shows up is microsoft.com and it says that windows defender detects the worm, but clearly it doesnt.

Edit: The worm was on one computer and it did not have windows defender installed. Seems like malware removed it and also disabled automatic updates. I installed MalwareBytes and sucessfully removed the worm :)

And that includes a lot of the netsec people who see this stuff.

Wait a second! I though NO serious security people are Russophobe? Are you changing your story now?

Your own little vote charter shows one dbzer0 user upvoting as well

You have the evaluation backwards... Outside people are coming to different consensuses based on opinions and experiences that's normal... It's lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml that don't. I would EXPECT that results were mixed, but for your instance it never is. You seem to have missed the point.

What if China and Russia started treating .us or .ca or such domains like this and demonise countries?

They literally do. Have you not heard of the great firewall? The vast majority of the internet is unusable to China... and requires a VPN to access anything. Hell, I'd say the lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml instances acting as hiveminds downvoting anything critical of Russia/China is also evidence of this. It's OKAY to be critical of a government.

It is you people who project the hate you possess onto others, and you even manage to be proud of it like an absolute idiot with no merit based judgement capabilities.

Not even close. I evaluate everything as I see it. You seem to be making a lot of assumptions here. Kaspersky has strong ties to the Russian government that is sufficient to warrant any "serious security" person to evaluate a different solution.

I did not fail. It is too clear to me how you are parroting US propaganda, even quoting a Democrat (Russia hater party) about it.

Yet bitdefender is a problem... And you can't address why Kaspersky would be any different... Talk about parroting.

What room is there for reasoning with a crow like you, shitting everywhere happily?

Crows (Corvid family) are the smart birds... You mean pigeon.

Edit: Actually come to think of it? Why the ravenous defense of Kaspersky at all? It's just an anti-virus software no? Why does me disagreeing with the use of Kaspersky in this instance warrant "makes you look like the worst slurs I could summon for an incompetent clown." Don't you see how unreasonable you look? How you look like a frothing lunatic?

I told you, you are not one of those meritorious superior knowledge people. You do not fall in that Venn circle.

Outside people are coming to different consensuses based on opinions and experiences that's normal... It's lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml that don't.

I can make a very easy guess who are these outside people. They support Ukraine while overlooking Stepan Bandera monuments, some even support Israel and most support Democrats and Joe Biden. You seem to overestimate the number of "outside people" based on how many of them are terminally online people in a specific portion of the internet.

They literally do. Have you not heard of the great firewall? The vast majority of the internet is unusable to China... and requires a VPN to access anything.

That tells me how much you really are vested in understanding how shit works. China's Great Firewall is a defense mechanism against the brainrot nonsense and bullying west does to China (also other "enemies") every day since the past couple or so centuries. Ever saw Drums of Fu Manchu? Or that Bloomberg supermicro chip crap article you shared, which was debunked ages ago? US government annually funds media and ragwriters billions publicly to defame China, Russia and other "enemies" everyday. Well guess what the bullied kid in the classroom will do? Shut off and work on self. You support a really nasty, evil agenda.

Kaspersky has strong ties to the Russian government that is sufficient to warrant any "serious security" person to evaluate a different solution.

Any serious, unbiased security person will refuse to discount Kaspersky and their global work on cybersecurity. And not many even touch what they accomplish. You are not a serious person in any capacity whatsoever.

Why the ravenous defense of Kaspersky at all? It's just an anti-virus software no? [...] How you look like a frothing lunatic?

Your nonsensical takes on Kaspersky and chest thumping do warrant that kind of reaction. Not even knowing what all Kaspersky does is fucking stupid. It tells me you only read about Kaspersky whatever the fuck you read on western tabloids and rags, and never on any forum or via unbiased cybersec people or outlets. Maybe you think there is nothing better about cybersec outside of west, which is as insecure as you can be.

Hell, I’d say the lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml instances acting as hiveminds downvoting anything critical of Russia/China is also evidence of this.

I think you’re so far up the imperial core’s ass that you’re triggered by the least hint of nuance. If anyone’s a shill here, I think it’s you.
