It's just not worth having one on your system. In some cases it will revert them but the malware is so sophisticated it just re-injects them into a new folder again, and plays a constant cat and mouse game with the AV, in the end this cripples your PC performance as AV's eat up so much of your system's resources. Many times changes are made that it can't detect and doesn't revert. If you don't keep it up to date as well as Windows up to date, it does absolutely nothing.Įxample, let's say you get infected with something that adds a folder with some malicious code in your system32 folder, the AV knows that the extra folder isn't supposed to be there so it removes the extra folder and it's contents and runs a check on all the files within that folder to do a comparison vs what they have stored on record to what is actually in those folders. Many times they don't detect anything even when you are infected though. AV's really only help detect an infection after you've been infected and help try to repair the damaged files with replacements they have stored and ready for the replacement. There is also software out there which allows other software administrative access without consent from the user, an example is GoG Galaxy. This is especially true if you are using your machine with an administrator account instead of a user account.

I'll stick with the original Space Station 13 by BYOND. Well, I guess I'm just going to physically destroy it and switch to Linux for real on my laptops since WinOS refuses to properly download drivers for the keyboards and touch-pad as well as some other additional buttons FSR, unlike Linux Mint f.e. It just refuses to do anything no matter if I use a program, a cmb or BIOS or new OS installation medium to erase it. However I still can't figure out how to copy or erase the data from that failed SSD that had the licensed WinOS on it. Kind of had the right to? Still should have kept it cool I think. But all the data is lost nevertheless so. ))Īdditionally my apologies to the devs for suspecting the game to be the reason for the trouble, in the worst case it was just the last drop that triggered the under-laying hardware troubles. Lesson learned - 11$ 128GB and 14$ 256GB SSDs is not a good deal. The game after all was not the reason for the situation, it was just a coincidence on that particular day with those two particular SSDs from that particular seller *cough* SOmnAmbulist. Thanks a lot to Exile for his suggestions and guidance.
