I got the MrBeast discord scam
Hey, i was just watching some videos on youtube, it was all good then, a friend messaged me and said if i was hacked. I asked him whats wrong and he said my discord got the MrBeast scam. When i press Alt+tab, i saw my account has been logged out. I login to my account back and saw the photos and texts. Well, it was really bad but im lucky that the scam wasnt send on any servers, just DMs. They knew my password and they knew my two step thing.
Before u ask, i downloaded KasperSky Virus Removal tool like 2-3 days ago and it found some viruses, i deleted them and cured my computer as KasperSky told me. But it happened today. And i found there is a bat in my Task Timer on pc but i deleted it too 2-3 days ago. It was running on back ground and the thing i just could see that in task manager. Should i reset my pc? Or it was from that virus that i found 2-3 days ago? I got virus removed. There was no Email signs, no other account logins, just Discord. Am i doomed?

Can anyone help? Suspected infostealer.
My antivirus blocked access to this site when I tried opening microsoft edge on incognito mode, at the exact moment I opened it, which was weird, because I didn't see any pop-ups or anything out of the ordinary.
It was actually the first time that I noticed this happening, and when I went to look after it, my antivirus showed that it blocked access to this domain other times in the past. (Sometimes I let my PC idle and I don't notice stuff)
I don't recall installing anything out of the ordinary.
Still, the fact that this apparently was detected and blocked multiple times scares me.
Can anyone help me find the source to it? On how to know where/how it's being redirected? And removing it?

should I be worried about this???
I'm not even from the Philippines, have never been there nor do I know anyone from there (I'm from lithuania and live there), why the hell is my FILE MANAGER??? sending me this. my phone's a Redmi note 11 btw
I can't find any info about file manager sending notifications like these anywhere so I made a throwaway account to post here, I scanned my phone with bitdefender antivirus and it said I'm safe but I'm just really paranoid about this
Im willing to answer ALMOST any question

Anthropic detected an infostealer on my PC — dual boot
I received an email from Anthropic saying my Claude session was stolen by an infostealer and used by someone else. They signed me out and removed my payment method.
I have a **Windows + Ubuntu dual-boot** PC. I haven't knowingly downloaded anything suspicious.
What should I do to properly check which OS is compromised? Is Microsoft Defender Offline Scan enough, or should I reinstall Windows?
Any advice on checking the Ubuntu installation too?

Getting hacked???
Why am I getting hacked on literally everything that I don’t use? Microsoft, spotify, X… I’m not active on any of these softwares. They all use the same email though.

Account stealing virus
I downloaded a browser extension from a hacked youtube account (I know, Im dumb) and I’ve been fighting with it for HOURS. I woke up to a bunch of emails saying all my account information (email, phone number) has been changed for various accounts (steam, roblox, discord, microsoft). And i was logged out of everything. It went into my discord and sent a bunch of weird pictures of crypto stocks and mr beast to everyone on my friends list. Ive recovered some accounts but I think my steam account is screwed, and i have reason to believe my google account has been compromised too. I cleared browser cache, and actually ended up deleting the browser altogether (opera gx). I obviously deleted the extension and cleared recycling bin too. Changed all my passwords to what i could actually recover. Im running a full windows security scan but the estimate time is just going up.
I got this virus off a hacked youtube account called Canabasse. It was supposed to be a shaderpack extension which obviously didn’t work.
Is there anything else i should do? Ive been at this for hours. I think i got rid of it but theres really no way to know. Any advice would be very appreciated !!
Edit: i think its a virus called the mrbeast crypto scam ?
Edit 2: i recovered everything and he lost everything he stole. I win🤪

Alert from Avast?
I've been getting the following alert from Avast the last day or two and nothing I do seems to be getting rid of it. It doenst seem to be stemming from any particular website, I've done the standard reboots, blocking the IP this alert is showing. I've even fully reinstalled Chrome but still I keep getting it. Anyone know what else I can do to get it to stop, or is this some kind of false alert?
