A Virus That Takes Accounts and Kills Malware App Installations

I have a serious virus that I can't get rid off and my last resort is to clean install windows, I think I know the source but that doesn't matter now, the damage is done, I've lost sererval accounts sharing the same password but not the ones with different ones so that's how I know this virus is automated and not targeted. But I'm afraid it's much more serious, between the time frame of accessing the suspicious app and today, that was 2 days ago, gpu heavy games started to have a input delay issue and I think the virus is doing it, I've done a offline defender scan and it claims to have removed the virus and when I checked the quarantine I noticed that the antivirus was battling this virus repeatedly. I thought I could get a different antivirus and deal with another way but it attacks third-party installations that deal with virus removale and no other installations. So that could be the key to the input delays I'm having, it seems this virus is running 24/7 and slowing down drivers. I don't want to clean install and it's still there. Please I need help.

Father tricked into installing a malicious APK for a ₹5 medical appointment payment, what should we do?

My father booked an appointment at CMRI today over the phone. Some time later, he received a call from a number claiming to be related to the appointment and was asked to install an APK called Appointment_booking.apk and pay ₹5 through it.

He installed it and attempted the ₹5 payment, but it failed. They asked him to try again, which made him suspicious, so he uninstalled the app.

I checked the APK on VirusTotal and multiple major antivirus vendors flagged it as a banking trojan/spyware/trojan dropper.

As a precaution, I have:

Blocked the card he used

Told him not to use banking/UPI apps on that phone

Factory-reset the phone

What else should we do? Should we change his UPI PIN/banking passwords, contact the bank, or report it to 1930 even though the payment failed?

Also, is his phone/account safe after a factory reset, or could his credentials already be compromised?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Help me ASAP anyone 😭

So guys, I’ve built a PC with all my savings from a year. It cost me a fortune. I’ve taken it and placed it in my office because of an obligation. But I’m not going to the office these days because of other issues. But all the people in the office are using it and it’s contaminated with a virus now. I can’t say no. I’ve tried setting up a password for that but no use, they’ve called me and asked me for the password. And I can’t say no. I don’t have any idea what to do about that. So if anyone knows anything regarding this, I want my pc to fake crash or look malfunctioning when they log in with my password. But only I should be able to access it. Is there any harmless trick??

Please guys 😭😭

Mparivahan Malicious APK

My friend's father got a message of fake challan with a link to download this apk. Father clicked the link and downloaded the apk but didnt knew how to install the apk so he asked my friend about it. At first glance he knew it was a fake app since it is common now days a lot of people lost money through same scam. This was a week a ago and the link is not valid now.

https://seva-mparivahan.vercel.app

I asked him to send me the apk to just mess around with it. I am sharing it if anyone is interested to poke it and find something.

APK link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/xy8iilqgyyyzkcb3hoaf4/seva-mparivahan.apk?rlkey=srjy9gxzjcootm5wyz25fwm59&st=ttvj2vp4&e=1&dl=0

Reason cybersecurity virus is a BITCH

So I was just using my laptop like normal and my nexomia executor wasn't working. So i went to the discord and made a ticket. We had a good conversation of his suggestions and ideas to iCoulterfixing my executor and he asked if I had an anti-virus and I said yes. So then he said why and i said that it was windows antivirus, but he said it was reason cybersecurity, and he asked me why I downloaded it. I said I did not download it and I don't know anything about it. He said then how did it get there and I said I don't know. He said uninstall it so I went to the control panel and tried to uninstall the "anti-virus" but it said when I clicked uninstall on the page there was no yes button. Just no. So I was like what the fuck you mean I can't say yes? So I asked him what the fuck is going on and he said try to do it through the settings app so i tried but it still didn't work and I ended up searching it up and stuff so I could delete it. But no it had already taken over everything pretty much. So I had to like go through troubleshoot blue screen cmd prompt. But when I ran the command to make me an administrator again they already corrupted that so I went to the master command prompt and successfully promoted myself but when I logged in my Microsoft family safety made me not an admin and all that was for nothing. So I used the master command prompt again to stop that process of family safety. And did a bit more bullshit to get rid of the virus and right now my laptop is sitting on my desk running a full scan of my files and deleting it at the moment. Fuck reason cybersecurity. This shit took my whole evening today 7:00 to fucking 10:00.
