Virus

Hello, I want to ask how to get rid of this virus and whether it is very dangerous.

[Guest]

Yes. This is a very dangerous Trojan downloader agent. Which means it can download anything  from simple  worms to even ransomware. My suggestion  would be to disconnet your internet and run full scan with windows defender and renove all the threats.

Download malwarebytes and install it. Then disconnect from the internet and run a full scan remove anything it finds.

Which is better Windows Defender or Malwarebytes?

Both are good. But Malwarebytes is better but it costs money unlike defender.

Uh, MWB is free, what costs money is automatic, real-time scans.

 

For the OP free MWB is all they ,hopefully, need.

Google is your friend.  There is a whole Reddit thread on this particular piece of malware which apparently linked to the discord cache.

Malwarebytes is better and you can get a 14 day free trial so then you can remove this threat.

You can still do that after the trial. The premium version just has active protection whilst the free is only the scanning portion. So still the full scan and removal but no active automatic protection.

I am aware.

ADWCleaner is a good second opinion scanner and is free too.
