I just downloaded the trial of uh... forgot it now. Some very famous audio eq and editing starting with the letter ''c''.

I installed the trial, upon completion my ALL of my legitly purchased programs suddenly said ''your activation period is over''. I PAID FOR MALWAREBYTES, bitdefender, dfx audio, adobe premiere, etc.

I immediately plugged out my ethernet cord. I opened my now ''expired'' malwarebytes and ran a test. it found 2 trojan.agents and 1 trogan.spyagent. WELL FUCK!

 

I removed them using malwarebytes (they are so kind, imagine not paying for it but still using it)

I start up my computer and every program still has the same problem.

 

EDIT: Oh, and i changed the year to 2060 for a reason i can't remember, maybe that's why they all expired? But how do you explain the trojans? Oh, and i got a ''bring me back to safety'' warning from google when signing into gmail

 

I am using my bros computer atm and it doesn't seem to affect the network, only my computer.

I am currently backing up my files.

 

Do i really have to go through all the hassle and reinstall and contact the companies that i bought the programs from or is there a quicker way / an ''easy'' fix?

 

I am going to install another free anti virus with a usb in a few mins.

Not pirated, it was the official trial.

 

What anti-virus are you using?

I am using the spybot search and destroy portable version free version.

It's not. Judging by your name, I'm guessing you're between 12-15. Stop pirating stuff if you can't deal with the outcomes/consequences on your own.

 

It's that easy.

program uninstaller > uninstall the shit you downloaded

 

im pretty sure its adware or some really shitty ransomware, uninstalling the crap should fix it.

 

Also, did it have one of those installers that has like 2 pages that say

 

"Download free subscription to chinese food pc optimizer for 99 cents"

 

you probably clicked yes by accident on one of those.

I know what i download. Pretty funny people assume that i fall for that stuff. The issue is fixed bcuz i turned back the clock to the current time.

H4X3R has been my gamer tag since 2011. I am not in the ages you specified. It was a hillarious comment though.

1) a few weeks ago i learnt the hard way (winsock corrupted) that pirating is bad, so i stopped.

2) why did turning back the time and rebooting suddenly fix the problem if you claim it wasn't the cause?
