alexandre Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 i was wondering if this is an actual threat or simply the marketing method of all antivirus.. this keeps spamming every 3 or 5 minutes so i want to be sure because this antivirus doesnt give me an option to fix it , it just abort the connection to the infected thing and ask me to upgrade my protection... if anyone is familiar with that i would apreciate an advice.

requinix Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Is that message coming from AVG? Do you trust AVG to be accurately reporting problems that it detects? https://www.google.com/search?q=win32%3Akadrbot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexandre Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 oh and i just read the link you shared and sadly i have no way to buy a legitimate antivirus to make a full scan of my computer.. i was hoping that this antivirus was just trying to scare me by showing me a scary threat but i am still unsure about what this is about. also it is probably infected since for xamp to work fine i has to disable my computer UAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 sigh This is why you don't disable UAC if you don't know what you're doing with your own computer, and why you don't blindly click Yes every time it pops up a message unless you know exactly what is you've asked it to do. My first guess is you downloaded a bad version of XAMPP, or else it was something else you downloaded and ran. Have you tried running the general malware removal tool that Microsoft regularly publishes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexandre Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) i looked a lot online to fix the popup i was getting that was making me unable to use xamp to see my website and most of people online was suggesting to disable the UAC Edited November 1, 2022 by alexandre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexandre Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share Posted November 1, 2022 what making me reluctant to believe this antivirus is that, everytime i run the smart scan it doesnt find the threat they spam me with ... isnt it funny 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
