So here you are scouring the internet, reading forums, googling Microsofts super suspicious (but harmless) file names.. just knowing something f$@&n weird is happening with your pc. You run the tests. Yes all of them and nothing even twitched in discomfort. Maybe even like myself went to the extent of seeking professional help, with a lousy response of either your system is clean all thats normal or maybe even to a higher rank, persay state police, fbi, local law etc. and still zero help. Was anything stolen? Asks the public servant. You respond.. no. PS responds Sorry nothing we can do, dont let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya on the way out you may have read this and thought well dang my situation at that serious or maybe yours could even be worse. Regardless of the level of certainty you have of knowing whether or not you have some type of crazy super state level spyware on your pc, ITS YOUR PC!! If you are anything like me at all, you noticed it you seen the slight changes.. the randomness etc. well let me tell you. You are not alone. If you have made it this far youre either intrigued or desperately trying to find some grounding that youre not crazy. Well boy do I have a story for you.. I hated computer crap most of my adult life (31curently) Im what you call blue collar but I have as well been a big comp gamer since 12, first tourney at 15(charity/no age requirement) I lived a normal life for the most part. Friends, family associates all are small town no big wigs or fancy suits. At the age of 27 I sold my home after a 4 year live in/flip and went east after a hard break up. I began dabbling in crypto and fishing on the coast. Now Ive been a consistent gamer for the entirety of 12-27. I finally decided to break down and buy a pc to game and keep up with the times or whatever. Even tho I kept my 2009 Sony Bravia 60hz while using a pre built with rtx3060 gpu LOLLLL. Now I know Im dragging here but weve finally made it to the goodys. I began following some online crypto and eventually found myself in a discord with what appeared to be norms. I began to catch bits and pieces of what I believed to be they were talking about me. There was a twitch stream involved with this discord as well but to skip the details here, in a measly 4 days I had 100% convinced myself they were seeing me, hearing me, changing software etc. I allowed them to do so while playing the part of dummy smot poker who had no idea until eventually I baited them into openly admitting they were remoting my pc. Now see the difference here is most of you who are even still here dont know why how or who. I know two of these. Still dont know why. Now at this time in my life (2021) I had no idea of the capabilities of a well executed, social engineered, spyware, root whatever. But I do now for two years of my life and counting my cameras are covered I feel no sense of privacy. I end every night with goodnight agent man. I had tried to just walk away at the time and pretend that it was nothing. It would go away. I dont have anything they want. So for two years I did nothing. But a few short weeks ago I accidentally dropped a folder into one drive and then messed up my directory. Attempted to fix and found some very compelling things. At this point the PC did NOT like me trying to remove these items. Now this is what gets really crazy. I unplug modem/router. Go to cdm boot. Go to google on iPhone for commands, they shut off my cell service try everything I can to regain service to no avail. I remember work gave me a I phone I never turned on in the house or ever for that matter. I get that phone go to Microsoft (had received password reset email that I didnt ask for) (had one cmd command finally work that showed my original owner account for pc was 2 days after letting the spies know I knew) go to chat help desk. They run me in circles keep asking for me to connect to internet. Week later, Microsoft stated I never contacted them. iCloud wouldnt stay off. Xfinity activity showed 200gbs a month compared to 30-40 during pre fight of this malware. Pc eats everything you throw at it now. Encrypted usbs, cds, firmware changes on my very first monitor just a few weeks old, firmware in router doesnt even exist on net gear website. Learned about low energy Bluetooth and how some older phones (which I had) could be remotely jialbroke completely untethered and stealthed. 45,000 forbidden keys in bios. Gpu wants to and will imidoateky install mal into every nick and cranny of my files. I shamefully can admit my password was weak and the same for everything. Router etc was generic. Ive been trying to Learm and improve all the way up until a few days ago. I buy a new hp laptop from Walmart. Tried my hardest to get it going with out internet(never found a way with win11) I use hot spot. Sign in. New pc shows 100% memory and cpu. About 50-70 svchost thousands of DLL files. Chinese writing found in txt files. LOTS OF IT. then I find a hidden file on this brand new laptop thats about a mile long with the end of it stating FACTORY GOLDEN MASTER IMAGE IS READY end of diskut.bto pass 1 completed backup CIA.ini and the best one. FBISM no more sections to be processed, must be done- have a nice day.

None of this is speculation or exaggeration. Would like to attach images for ref

Reference for what?

 

I see a rambling monologue that does not belong in the Malware Forum here...interesting reading if you have the time and inclination...but I do not see a request for a malware check of any sort.  If that is the somewhat invisible purpose of your monologue...see the link in my signature and provide the specified FRST log data.

Hello Louis, sorry for the poor structure I am not a writer. The reference is a picture I took of the final quotes of story above. I cant supply any diagnostic of new computer it was returned. I am currently attempting to get my desktop up and going again. But if you could lend a hand in guidance, it would be much appreciated. No matter what I do I am still finding hidden recycle bin files, containing $recycle.bin s-1-5-21 that either will auto pop or say I have no acces. Trying to go into computer management blocks my acces, denied by mmc.exe. This is with new ssd and clean install.
