Like I said, it was excellent advice. It’s was far more than “just scan your computer lol”. I mean it fell short of degaussing my HDD, airgapping my computer and EMP bombing the world to wipe all potential viruses off the internet. But I felt it was reasonable and proportionate.
Also, it wasn’t the normal CS folks I was speaking to you mullet, it was some kind of specialist team.
I also like how you studied computer science, yet fail to say how you work in the field… What gives? Does the worlds foremost theoretical expert on computer science currently do more practical work with deep fat fryers?
Not so much as him pretending that customer support working for blizzard are computer experts. No computer expert would tell you to just scan your computer if you’ve got a malicious program on it, undetected or not. Even removing it if detected isn’t sure to make your computer safe, unless you know exactly what changes it made on your computer and that you can undo them. The safe option is to just nuke everything and start over since you most likely don’t know what changes it has made.
