And so on... viruses can do pretty much anything, from simple software damage to hardware damage, spying and fraud. It's like the mafia, don't expect them to do only one thing.

@Laokidbc, use multiple scanners as MBAM might not detect anything, but Adaware (or any other for that part) might detect it.

Also check in device manager if there is a yellow/red sign next to your network adapters.

If anyone would like me to build a rig, I'd prefer it to be in a thread in the tech section rather than PM. Thank you.
