Russian Virus

[eclisseweb]

This is what's happened to my friend: "So I just encountered a Russian virus that completely changed my language, installed programs, etc. until I was unable to get into my account via incorrect password. No biggie, I had just started on this desktop a day ago. Currently restoring my computer with a windows 10 disc, until I realized a change. Last time I partitioned and convert gpt to install windows 10, it created 3 different drivers which weren't all that much space. Now, there's only 2 other drivers and one of them takes up over 700 gb of my data. What's the cause of this? Is this still the Russian virus working on my computer, or is there something else going on here?"

this is for win8 but you can use for win10

or while installing you create other OS installation.

I'd take the computer to a professional technician to sort out. Obviously the virus went so deep, it's not worth it to go through all the pain of reinstalling and it's still lurking somewhere.

If you don't have any important data inside your disk, just format the whole disk, delete all partition and then repartition again to your custome. I believe there won't beany virus again inside the disk.
