Stopabit virus returning - ArturiO313 - 07-05-2024
Hello. I recently downloaded a file but got the stopabit virus. I deleted it and had no further problems. But today I noticed the "RapidPCTuner" and "stopabit» in the Startup apps list. The were disabled. I ran a scan and it found nothing. Can anyone please tell me if there is anything wrong with my PC?

It is nothing wrong about the PC, it is likely an issue with the software you are using. Apps from shady sites, some freeware or cheat engines often contain junkware like Stopabit or RapidPCTuner. Scan the system with GridinSoft Anti-Malware and they will be no more.

Appears to be back to normal, that's such a relief, thank you!! But I had some troubles with Gridinsoft detecting a system file, hosts exe or smth, not sure if it is normal
