HOW TO REFORMAT WINDOWS 10 AFTER MALWARE INSTALL

In the interim, you can at least do a clean install of the current FREE version of MBAM and run that, until you can locate your license/key info. If you do not have that email, or did not write down this info, then I think you may need to contact them directly to sort that out.

HOW TO REFORMAT WINDOWS 10 AFTER MALWARE LICENSE

The license and key you need to register MBAM once you reinstall it will be in the email sent to you by Cleverbridge when you made your purchase. You will want to uninstall, run the removal tool and then reinstall MBAM following the procedure described below. Sorry to hear about your computer troubles (I am all too familiar with HP and their 'bloatware' software). Which, so far, it is.EDIT: Thanks, Firefox! You beat me to it! Yes its scary, and no nobody is really clear what to do about protecting against it, except to trust that its rare and targeted.

Google the competitions for the underhanded C and underhanded crypto competitions where apparently clean code must secretly achieve a malicious outcome.

HOW TO REFORMAT WINDOWS 10 AFTER MALWARE SOFTWARE

In standard libraries and trusted software 'hidden in plain view'. In trusted code you redownload or reinstall almost 'as standard' after wiping the disk (think Microsoft office or MySQL offline media, or web download installers).

In the OS itself (bad or faked install media, covert code in the source code or added to it in an unauthorised manner by an insider, third party or distributor, unknown to the authors). Malicious accessories - fake apple chargers at one time contained a malwaring capability. Hidden network connections - devices that contain a secret networking capability that isn't a virus but can be used to get covert access. Output devices (a dongle or fake ferrite core on a monitor cable that can log the rgb signal and decode or onward transmit the screen elsewhere). Potentially the CPU itself, in its microcode. In input devices or devices used to connect input devices - keyboard dongles, mouse dongles, hardware keyloggers, USB and Bluetooth devices that silently present themselves as a fake mouse/keyboard to execute commands, touchscreen devices that log or fake input by the user.Д¬ards and other pluggable devices (graphics, network, WiFi, you name it) which present interfaces at a hardware or software level or have direct access to ram, in their firmware. In the hard drive firmware (and hidden sections of the HD accessible to it) - what can't be seen can't be wiped and the HD firmware has total control over what data is sent to the computer when a disk read is requested, and whetherthe real data is modified or not. That said, here are some examples of malware vectors and snooping/logging abilities that won't be fixed by reinstalling or wiping, to give you nightmares.Д¬omputer bios (or uefi) - the main computer firmware The good thing is that at present these aren't common vectors for malware for ordinary users. Some are known to have been exploited but only by nation-states (NSA etc) and others have been demoed by security researchers (bad-usb is one).

But beyond this is a realm of other locations, often completely uncheckable at the moment. Most viruses are stored in normal disk spaces that antivirus programs routinely check. The current answer to that is, in any device or component that has firmware (or has circuitry that facilitates secret firmware or code) - and unfortunately that's almost all of them. The issue underlying the question is, where can code that runs automatically, exist on a computer. But notice the qualifiers malware authors are often quite clever and adapt quickly to new ideas.

In general and at the moment (2016), wipe and reinstall is usually enough for an ordinary user.
