This is a humorous post, but also a cry for help.
I don't want to pay 700$+ a year for a certain 3D modeling software that is currently the industry standard. I have been looking up and down the 7 seas for a reliable and trustworthy treasure chest, one that was filled with ... other people who've also found the treasure chest and could verify that the treasure was actually worth the voyage! Yar!
BLASPHEMY! I yelled as after I unpacked my treasure and dropped it into my treasure stash, it was revealed to be NOT THE TREASURE I WAS LOOKING FOR! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I screamed! How could I have been so blinded by the sight of the treasure that I didnt take into consideration the very clear and very apparent warning signs that were right in front of my eyes the whole time!
Now .... I am fighting. I am fighting to save the rest of my treasure. I am fighting to save my vessels for which I store my other treasures! I have downloaded many anti-NonTreasure measures in the hopes that one of them could alleviate my suffering! but none have. All measures can only SEE the product of my misfortunes, but none are equip to handle the issues! YAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've dreaded this day. The day were I might just have to go fully nuclear and cleanse my treasure vessel! I am Dreading it, and with this post, I am hoping that the community of treasure hunters, 7 sea's sailors and hardened pirates can help save me' booty!
Ok in all seriousness now, Mcafee (I know it sucks, but I worked at office depot for a number of years and STACKED UP on all of the Mcafee discounted licenses I could. I have 8+ years of protection into the future, and I don't want to waste it!) keeps finding and quarantining files called "fn.exe". Along with Malware bytes, Hitman Pro and Windows Defender scans of my system, not one of these anti-virus/malware softwares are able to affirmatively delete the trojan horse off my system permanently.
Please help a fellow pirate out! Are there anyways to effectively get rid of this Trojan horse or do I have to just nuke my system from orbit? I really hope I don't have to come to that option but if it must be done then I won't hesistate!
Thank you for reading my story, and thank you for any and all suggestions!
Edit: This is BY FAR the most helpful community i think i've ever been apart of. So many people have given SO many suggestions, its kinda overwhelming. But nonetheless, thank you!!!! I've learned a lot in just the short time since i created this post!
