So, this is insane. Period. If you've been following my saga, I had a laptop that got infected at the start of February. I was running McAfee and Malwarebytes when I got it. McAfee told me TS and gave me a refund because they couldn't get rid of it. I threw everything I had at it- RKill, TDSSkill, Hitman Pro, Avast, Windows Defender, a bunch of rootkit and malware removers, you name it. Every program anyone mentioned, I tried. I even used the system restore and took it back to factory settings. The virus came back. I had disks for it and planned to do a full Windows reinstall, but the virus had somehow managed to disable my CD drive. It acted like it didn't exist in the advanced boot settings and BIOS. I gave up and bought a new PC.
I sh*t you not, my brand freaking new PC now has the same virus. I went through all the same protocols and even wiped it down to factory settings. The virus is still there. This time, I got my hands on a USB drive and put an emergency antivirus boot program on that. The computer will not recognize the option to boot from USB. It sees the USB drive normally, just will not give me the boot option. I went back to my laptop, same thing. I also tried windows defender offline. No dice.
So, I basically have two pieces of junk that I can't do anything with and there's seemingly no way to boot from any device. *sobs* Please tell me there's an option I have not tried.
