Is this really how low I'll have to get? For me It's this or one day finding my digital possessions stolen and put on the deep web or some gay shit.
TL;DR, Frick Pajeets for somehow making a virus you can't remove, Your false Gods won't save you.

Don't blame Pajeets for being a moron
>the best solution to Rootkits?
It's common sense(TM)
>What If I just buy a new laptop with my ISA Money, Then I won't feel as guilty trying to get mom to buy new laptop?
God no, if you're really so worried about it, then simply replace the disk drives
Do you know which rootkit it is?
How did you detect it?
None of my Anti Virus programs could detect it, I just saw Windows Security features begin disabling themselves and knew something was seriously wrong.
Did you already try reinstalling your OS?
If that refers to resetting my device (I know jack shit about tech), Then no it keeps happening.
>Resetting
No, actually nuke the drive and reinstall. Better yet, replace the drive and throw the infected one out.
Buy a brand new USB stick and use an uninfected computer to make your installation media. Throw away any old USB drives you plugged into this computer.
You'll be fine.
Did you actually reinstall the OS (presumably Windows) or did you just use the built-in "fix it for me factory refresh" option? Unless you did the first, you didn't actually clear it. Swap the hard drive and reinstall like others have suggested to be sure you don't frick it up.
this is the way OP. Look up how to install gentoo and boom, problem solved
>Is buying a new laptop really the best solution to Rootkits?
No. Many PC's, laptops and cellphones come with malware pre-installed. Do a clean install on anything you buy.
homie what
Chicken butt. Now I want to watch The Wiggles.
>homie what
>what
in your mum's butt
just reinstall wangblows. never seen a rootkit that could survive an OS reinstall.
jej
Stop being schizo your laptop is fine and you are just moronic and mentally ill.
Reinstall Windows, problem solved
Windows security features keep disabling themselves without warning, Reinstalls did shit.
Persistent malware in the BIOS. Those are fun.
Those aren't a thing since 2012, unless you're a big moron who disables uefi/secure boot
uefi itself is a virus
normal ("legacy") bios is BASED
moron
This post Glows hard
seething uefizoomes
UEFI - bios is even more of a messed up bloat SHIT that no one can audit
Frick off dumbass, I use a pc since 1998, the only glow agent or moron is yourself.
>I use a pc since 1998
why you started so late, you fricking ZOOMER?
I was programming in DOS in earli(er) 90's and using 286 before that, frick off kid
Not even a zoomer but you have baby duck syndrome afraid on change while I'm on the IT industry wich changes continously and adapting to it. Its ok gramps
I feel noobish now. I started with IBM clones in 1991 with a 386/40Mhz with 144MB of ram. Worked great for commander keen. I had 4 floppy drives and a program to clone disks.
They asked about having to buy new shit. I safely assumed they have old shit. So 2012 applies. 2008 applies. I still use shit from 1990's including a dual P3/700Mhz server.
Op do not take advice from a baby duck who uses a Pentium 3 and windows XP
>windows XP
Mandrake Linux fren
Uefi + Secure Boot block rootkits, if you're one of those morons who disable it then its your own fault.
Also just flashing the bios with a bootable media deletes it
old chinkpad + coreboot + me_cleaner + self signed secureboot + gentoo
>old chinkpad + coreboot + me_cleaner + self signed secureboot + gentoo
post the deets / howto
find any laptop that supports coreboot (thinkpads preferably but other options are available), read flashing guide and go from there
you'll most likely need to disassemble it and flash it using external programmer, or you can buy newer laptop with coreboot already preinstalled if you trust that
the chip that you flash, is it standard or just from other thinkpads?
of course nothing of this helps the backdoors (and bugs) in hardware of cpu, but I guess NSA and other glowBlack folk reserve it for most important targets (right?)
Desoldering the flash off your laptop and reflashing the chip or getting a new one with stock bios is pretty much the only way to deal with a firmware rootkit without buying new hardware. That is, if you've actually done your homework and did what everyone else is yelling at you to do.
It's standard, just an SPI flash chip. It's sort of a generic jellybean part, but there's probably a list of tested chips for your hardware floating around. I know there is one for Intel chips, not sure with AMD. Be careful though as some cheap CH341 based flashers tend to overvolt the pins.
>Is this really how low I'll have to get? For me It's this or one day finding my digital possessions stolen and put on the deep web or some gay shit.
There is a way to fix it, but you're cattle and therefore should just buy a new one instead. It isn't like you're a stinking IQfy NEET or anything like that, just pay up and move on with your life.
just take it to a professional, you're clearly unqualified
This is a 90% likely yo be a LARP but in case it isn't, get a Linux usb stick and run the following command:
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
Then burn a Windows iso on a dvd from a Limux computer and reinstall windows.
