Continuation to my older post.
So, in my older post, i said Bit Defender and ESET didnt find anything.
Today i went to Klingai (Real site this time), and made three videos, after those, i decided to check their subscription prizes, immediately, as i hit that site, Bit Defender told me, that it had stopped malicious command line!
So, it seems that something i downloaded from that fake site, was trying to wait dormant, and maybe grab my credit details, or something?
I did full scan again with Bit Defender, and it found nothing, now doing full scan with ESET.

Hi @Weltsu,
It could be some form of adware, or a browser redirect. Check if the steps from this article help:
Let us know how it goes.

So, i have been doing almost daily system scans on my computer, and nothing has been found, BUT, today, when i played stalker2, suddenly a DOS box started downloading weird stuff to my computer! Bit defender stopped it quite fast, but what was that?! I have never seen something like this, bit scary. I took a screenshot of it.

I think this is almost certainly malicious activity. Bitdefender rightly flagged and blocked the threat.
Attackers commonly leverage mshta.exe to execute hidden or obfuscated scripts. It’s designed for running HTML Applications (.hta), but in malware campaigns, it’s also used to launch VBScript, PowerShell, or batch files without user prompts. The command creates a wscript.shell object to run a batch (.BAT) file out of a Temp folder. Running scripts from a Temp directory is frequently seen in malicious or Trojan droppers, as legitimate installers rarely hide batch files there in this manner. Like you noticed, there was a Trojan hiding there.Premium Security & Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools user

I somehow knew there was still something left on my computer! So, what now? I am have ran Bit defender full scan again, and now running ESET online scanner for full scan. Is there anything else i can do, just monitor situation?

Well, it looks like Bitdefender took care of it, so if nothing is found during the scan, you should be fine.

Its just so weird, that it was there dormant over two weeks, and now suddenly activated, when i started gaming.

Should i format my pc, just in case, and change passwords?

It started doing it again. Im going to do full reinstall now.

Did you notice anything strange when the detection is triggered, or what tasks were you running on the PC exactly? Gaming online, perhaps, or something else? Before reinstalling Windows, I would recommend to contact the Support teams so they can have one of their anti-malware engineers help you out with this. Maybe even remotely, if you agree.

Oh, i already formatted my whole computer last night. I had wanted to do that from some time now. That Dos box appeared, when i was playing Stalker 2, then, i saw these attempts from from it, when i was away from computer. It had tried many times to connect somewhere, thankfully Bit Defender stopped it many times.

And when those happened, my pc was just dormant, doing nothing at that time.

I see. Well, it's good you've formatted your PC. This will surely give your device a fresh start, eliminating errors, and optimizing performance, so it's always a good idea to do this.
And I'm glad to hear Bitdefender saved the day once again. 😉👍️Premium Security & Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools user
