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.

Edit: The worm was on one computer and it did not have windows defender installed. Seems like malware removed it and also disabled automatic updates. I installed MalwareBytes and sucessfully removed the worm :)

SCP or a share on a NAS, personally.

Not everyone can afford a NAS

You dont need a Nas to transfer files over your local network

But where do you store them? My computer isn't big enough for videos. Thats where cheap USB drives come-in

Not as cheap as USB drives

[–] realbadat@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago

What does that have to do with the question I replied to?

[–] WordBox@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You can pick up old PCs for free-$50 that'll suffice for a nas.

Maybe you can, but most people don't have the money or the time. Check your privilege.
