Some extras, it made really loud beeps and boops. So i dont think its just a graphical thing. It makes certain things shaky and nearly unusable. So im resetting my pc to a clean state (hopefully.) I know some malware can leak even after a reset (its not a full wipe) So maybe i can do that too if it continues.

If you're gonna reset it, do it with a USB stick made from another computer. Don't use restore or reset this PC.

why not ? won't that help him ?

u/throwawayforgorpass Aug 06 '26

You need clean files that haven't been infected

2

u/Severe-Pay-5887 Aug 06 '26

So he is kinda obliged to reinitiate his pc right ?

u/southernraven47 Aug 08 '26

Yes, but if he does it that way it may not matter

u/M4IK1920 Aug 06 '26

right after opening the laptop download everything by voidtools and autoruns. immediatly run autoruns and check if there's something that should'nt be here. after that, open everything and search for the name of that suspicious file and delete it. it is a gdi malware, it usually destroys mbr after the end of these bytebeat "songs"

Looks more like a GPU driver issue or a dying GPU to me.

u/No_Low6177 Aug 05 '26

Nope. Very much intentional. It opened windows player and made the volume 100 percent. And it made very loud beep boop noises.

u/MitAllesOhneScharf Aug 05 '26

Well, with those other things that are happening, yeah doesn't seem so benign anymore.

You've got malware, You've got malware, You've g- oohh flashy,lol.

Reminds me of some private projects I made a long time ago, when I was teaching myself how hackers might attack a computer.

This one was from my Loud and Proud collection.

For the record,to those who give a crap.... this was made before AI could code hardly anything. So uhh.... no vibe code. It got worse with every reboot due to a bug in how I handled persistence. It never checked it was in startup, and when it copied itself into startup, if it ran again, it'd somehow copy the entire system32 folder into startup too. Accidentally made it cooler, cuz in malware(even POC malware)there's rarely such a thingnas a destructive bug....no those usually get called happy accidents.

I nuked like 300 virtual machines with that before I eventually got rid of it, it was so fun.

Inspired by some of Memz virus payloads, but in python.

Oh, I also have somewhere, like 6 lines of python that can just BSOD windows 7 to 10(older versions of win11 as well, latest have been entirely untested)without any prompting....I

Somehow you managed to get a virus that just might not hurt you, but might be annoying to remove by anything other than the nuclear clean install option.

BWAAAHAAAAAAAA, omg you made me actually hit the floor,lmfaoooooo.

Never in my life have I been referred to as a Bruce Lee anything hahahahaha......yeah I'm not a super amazing malware dev, just today alone I've seen 2 that made me second guess myself just a bit.....

I'm currently in the business of analyzing malicious minecraft mods, and building a tool for people to get a decent threat score....for free....no sign ups, no payments, and it'll work if the internet goes out or sum bs.

Now, I rip apart malware, unscramble its guts, and use pieces of it to build a scanner that can detect more malware similar to it, currently, 8 different samples are being used to sanity check the thing.....I've got more work to do, but I'm making progress on detecting a few new ones

Oh, and no data leaves the pc. That's an important feature.

u/YagamiL0reto Aug 07 '26

So, how many (%) horror mods for Minecraft are actually malicious?

4

u/Rho-9_Official Aug 07 '26

No idea, but searching for dupe mods and macro mods have malware results out the ass, stuff we can't detect reliably or at all yet, but working on it.

So far I've reverse engineered like 4 different obfuscation methods(makes the code unreadable by humans) and built a decoder to handle them, but there's many more methods to find, understand, and design an anti-analysis deafeat method for, cuz I'm not taking no for an answer.

Latest feature, Deep Decode, uses the attackers own decryption instructions for its own encrypted code, in certain cases where it uses a compatible method.

Have managed some detections for WeedHack and Ultimatelogger(flagged in our tool as sbftlogger, after the developer who made it)

Okay! I have completely wiped my drive and downloaded a new installation of win11 from my dads pc. Thanks for helping me! It was a really funny experience dealing with it.

u/Vegetable-Walrus5718 Aug 12 '26

Change your passwords

2

u/Weak_Incident_3484 Aug 06 '26

looks like gdi malware, you're boot and MBR problaby fucked up.

2

u/meletiondreams Aug 07 '26

You probably installed an infostealer. You also installed some weird other app that fucks your PC.

If you'd like to wipe here's how. Warning: I am not responsible for you messing up, or something, and everything you do here is on you. I am not responsible for your computer.

Disconnect from internet via your computer.

Transfer needed files to another usb or hard drive, do NOT transfer these file types: exe scr bat vbs, and ANYTHING you don't recognize, don't transfer browsers.

Then, shutdown your PC, and reset all your passwords, on a different device from your PC. Do NOT boot back into your PC.

Then, on a seperate computer (could be a friend's PC, or something) download the windows 11 iso (https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows11), or use their install media to install it to an external usb. This USB will be wiped. (lookup how to flash an iso if you have to)

Next, plug the usb into your PC and get to your bootloader, depending on your PC it might be a different key you have to click when launching; refer to google, or to your manual if you have one, usually you can just google "[PC Model or motherboard] boot key".

This is a bit foggy now since I don't know your exact bios, you can search for "boot order" and move the usb to the top. Click save or exit, and boot.

Walk through the windows install making sure to delete all the partitons to be safe.

After install run malwarebytes just to be safe.

u/Ill-Operation-4678 Aug 06 '26

What is this virus? Why this guy has it?

u/Wolfo_x Aug 07 '26

Do a clean installation. Don't use "reset this pc".

u/webauthr Aug 08 '26

behold: gdi malware. reset your computer. HOWEVER: the only active variant that I could find of gdi malware in the modern days are WIPERS with Monoxide.

That’s art right there

u/ChocIceMan Aug 05 '26

That looks like a GPU issue

u/M4IK1920 Aug 06 '26

its a gdi malware. gpu issue usually covers the whole screen. look closer, it didnt.

u/HydraDragonAntivirus Aug 05 '26

A random gdi malware?

1

u/No_Low6177 Aug 05 '26

Maybe. I really dont know. It also made loud beep boop noises and made my volume 100%. Anyways im resetting my pc. Hope this fixes it!

1

u/MarijuanaBagels Aug 05 '26

Clean fresh installation of Windows is pretty much the only surefire way to fix it.

u/HydraDragonAntivirus Aug 06 '26

yep it's gdi malware you can look them from youtube for example salinewin.exe

u/Nearby-Grab-391 Aug 06 '26

What I would do after opening up the laptop and logging in: immediately go to google, type in “tron windows”, download it, execute it and let it work its magic (trons basically malwarebytes and avast if it did a fusion dance and took steroids immediately after)

12

u/AutoModerator Aug 06 '26

We do not recommend Tron script because it has several issues.

To name a few of them:

  • it deletes shadow volume copies and restricts the size for creating new ones; especially if the malware was destructive those might be the last chance to get files back
  • it deletes Windows event logs and disables the service that creates them, this is a bad idea because many antivirus products use ETW for finding malware, deleting the logs has no advantage other than reducing security
  • it disables various tasks and services related to gathering diagnostic data in the name of privacy, but these are also necessary for various diagnostic and repair tools to work
  • although it does a lot of things in the name of privacy, it also takes a screenshot of the desktop
  • it is overly aggressive when removing and uninstalling software and may get rid of software that you want to keep
  • it "updates" software like 7zip to an outdated, vulnerable version from 2024
  • some of the tools that it uses for disinfection and cleaning are outdated and should not be used anymore
  • for malware removal Tron runs Malwarebytes, McAfee and KVRT; you can do the same manually if you wish to do so, without the added risks

tl;dr The list of issues created by tron and the risk involved is just too high to recommend it to anyone.
