This is probably not the right community but I haven’t found a better one.

So I watched a video from Seytonic where he mentiond that some malware creates a windows link with the name of the usb on a usb. So I checked my usb because I remembered that I had to click 2 times on my usb to opened it. I found a link that contained cmd.exe and a name of a file next to it. Upload to the virustotal showed Raspberry Roblin worm.

I use Linux but my familly uses windows so I will have to go through all familly computers and remove the worm. Where can I find info how to remove this specific worm - Raspberry Roblin? On google I found a description about how the worm works but not specific files it creates and how to remove it.

The first page that shows up is microsoft.com and it says that windows defender detects the worm, but clearly it doesnt.

    Flamethrower and hammer, to be sure.

    Joke aside, Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool is the tool you need. Download a fresh copy and put it on a USB stick. Whatever Windows computer you need to disinfect, restart in safe mode and copy KVRT. It is standalone and runs offline and can be removed after use. It will scan the whole system. Its malware removal rate is approximately the same as Kaspersky suite, so you know it will do the job.

    Edit: turns out there are brainwormed redditors out here. Ignore their downvotes and you will be fine following advice.

      Yeah… No. Pick any other reputable company.

      Kaspersky is one of many Russian “oligarchs”

      Edit: I think this paints the picture pretty clear… So worth adding to the discussion. Note the domains that are voting for this post vs not.
