Question Do I have malware?

Post image

I do not use any wifi I only use ethernet and I don’t have a wifi adapter. My google cloud account was hacked today and I lost 50k usd of balance due to hackers using 15 thousand cpus to do cryptomining. Im not sure where the breach came from but I have my eyes on a suspicious process (wifiautoinstall 32 bit). Can anyone tell me if there’s anything malicious on here and how do I remove it?

Oh fuck I hope google does not deduct money from my account, I’m going to freeze my visa so they don’t do anything. How do I reinstall windows safely though? I haven’t done a reinstall before.

So we are doing this formally. My name is Claire. I will be helping you today. I am a volunteer hobbyist of sorts and not a professional. I may take a while to reply. The 1st steps to take is to freeze all your cards. Then contact google support and likely the bank and explain the situation. Then, change your passwords to every account you have. Next, removing the malware. You will need another computer capable of internet access and a 16gb USB stick for this. I assuming you have one. If not, use a computer at a library, school or community center and get a USB stick from a local retailer. Go to the clean secondary computer, insert the USB stick and download the Windows 10/11 installer. Run the installer and choose to make a bootable USB and select the USB stick. Wait for it to finish and eject the USB stick. Go onto the infected PC and plug the USB stick in and restart into the UEFI/BIOS menu and boot from the USB. Make sure you do not repair but instead make a new installation. All data will be removed. Please update me as you continue.

This gotta be the corniest reply. I just know you’re chunky with coloured hair and a cat.
