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 :)

Edit: turns out there are brainwormed redditors out here. Ignore their downvotes and you will be fine following advice.

Yeah... No. Pick any other reputable company.

Kaspersky is one of many Russian "oligarchs"

Edit: I think this paints the picture pretty clear... So worth adding to the discussion. Note the domains that are voting for this post vs not.

I think this is poor form, and I won’t be surprised or sad if your one-person instance gets defederated by other instances for this kind of behavior.

Activitypub information is public by design. Kbin users for instance can see this information openly. There's nothing poor form here. My instance also isn't 1 user. But whatever floats your boat.

Edit: It's also well known...

As I said, we know all of this. You’re just repeating yourself.

I'm sorry, where did I repeat anything?

This would be the first time in this thread I've said anything about it.

If "we all know this" then why state "I think this is poor form"?

Who's de-federating kbin then? Nobody? Well then...
