Actually nothing is free in India.

I am from South Africa and almost any reputable PC shop, where you purchased a PC from would gladly update your BIOS for free and some will install
legal copies of Windows for free as well for their paying customers even has an after service.

You would have to pay for those service here in India in most cases. Just FYi . :)
 
I'll be off work in 4 hours.. I can then let you screen share from you phone.

I get off at 4pm MST.. so it less than 2 hours
 
Ok.. its really slow atm.. I added you as a friend.
 
I am getting my coffee.. its 5:30am here.. just let me know when you are available.
 
just FYI. always disconnect your internet as soon as you see that you have been "hacked"

Also change all your passwords and enable 2FA where ever possible.
 
Hi,
Call the beekeepers hehe

 
Just let me know when your ready..
 
Give me about 5 minutes to wrap up what I am doing.
 
You cannot have internet connected to PC, if you have an infected BIOS it will reload the virus as soon as you power up. Turn off the Wifi at the router if you can't disable it.
 
Fell out of a tree?

Guys, this was an April Fools prank.

:D

Likely contaminated UEFI-BIOS! Better prepare to get another motherboard! Getting "hardware-embedded-malware" does seem more likely these days than it was in the legacy-BIOS days!

Also once you've reinstalled windows:
Set and use 2-Factor-Authentication wherever possible and don't re-use the same passwords.

Yep, you must reset passwords for all your logins! Just like I had to with a redirect to a fake-McAfee web site back in early-February.

You didn't do it right. You must not run setup from your existing Windows!

I recently downloaded some sort of a file and it stole my entire computer, I was charged 30 bucks on ROBLOX and then he deleted all of my files, I factory reset the computer 4 times but he is still on the computer as after a little digging I found a workgroup that is not mine and I want to get rid of him from my computer what should I do.

#1. Take your computer to a repair shop before you screw up something else on it.
#2. Stay the hell off of ROBLOX & similar platforms until you learn how to manage/minimize the risks. To begin with, ROBLOX is a shit hole and not the place to be downloading "some sort of file" from unknown individuals. Otherwise this is going to keep happening to you. This is the best advice I can give you.
