So i found out that everytime i do search something on Chrome or Edge there is always a new tab coming up after with a shady URL like search1.me if i remember correctly. And then after a while i realize that automatic new tab with sus URL triggered by an extension called ySharePrivate, on the extension detail page it says "unpacked extension" and then i open the source file location of the extension and it become more SUS, its locateed on Program Data and the folder name is "Zkmma" the the default state is hidden and read only and there is 2 folder that came with that hidden folder called "USOPrivate" & "USOShared". I try to remove the extension from every browser that i have and permanently delete the source folder but maybe after a couple hours those folders will come back with the extension already installed on browser, i didn't even restart or turning off the pc, those files just comes back from out of nowhere. I try to scan those folders with defender but no response at all. Is it a malware ? or its just a virus ? how do i get rid of it ?

 

 

ps : sorry for the long text, and thank you in advance

Yes. I'd suggest you to copy your data to an external drive, and then do a complete fresh reinstall of Windows. Some antivirus might be able to remove it but I would still not trust that personally.

I am getting pretty fucking sick and tired of the "watch something else" responses. It's such a cop out answer because you could say that about basically anything, and it doesn't address the actual complaints. People use it as some kind of card they pull when they can't actually respond to the criticism raised but they still feel like they need to defend some company/person. If you don't like this thread then stop reading it. See how stupid it is? It's basically like telling someone "shut the fuck up". It's not a clever responsive, it doesn't address anything said, and it is rude.

MKBHD is but an Apple propagandist and fanboy. Take his videos with a grain of salt, especially about anything Apple. In his video titled "I Visited Apple's Secret iPhone Testing Labs!", he has shown that he makes no effort to fact check Apple's claims, and takes it at face value. I do not believe he can be trusted as an Reviewer/Influencer.
