Ransomware issue

Post by QuiveringChi »

Hi everyone. I’m glad to officially be a part of the forum. This evening, my computer (running Bitdefender Total Security) detected ransomware on my computer.

It seems like I can access the rest of my files, so I’m hoping Bitdefender saved me. What do you think?

Welcome to the F@H Forum QuiveringChi,

Please note that the F@H Forum doesn't deal with ransomware issues. A tech forum or anti-ransomware forum would be a better fit.

However, when it comes to F@H Software, can you please post your log file. Ensure that you have copied the System configuration which is present at the start of the log file (viewtopic.php?f=24&t=26036).

"Note: Antivirus software can interfere with the Folding@home client files and cause errors. We suggest configuring antivirus software to exclude the FAH client directory and especially the Work directory from the antivirus scanning list. This can be done by going into the exclusion list panel that every antivirus should have. The work subdirectory contains semi-random binary data and can confuse overly aggressive heuristic virus scanning." - https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/i ... uirements/
