Purification protocol:
- Let an antivirus scan this folder
- If any threats are found, ask it to clean it (repair the executable)
- Once it's mitigated, SCAN IT AGAIN just in case the cleaning isn't done properly
- If the threat is mitigated, program MAY NOT BE OPENED UP for the next 7 days, in case an updated antivirus database found another one.
- If the threat can't be mitigated after 5 passes, DELETE IT permanently.
The main reason why I made this is because I forgot Jeff was completely infested by this Virus:Win32/Sality.AM
and I had to make a quarantine folder so I know not to open programs here. Not sure what this does but I’ll never let this virus run on my new machine.
(In case you’re wondering: Currently I have no plans of installing Linux or any other OS on John the Vivobook (if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it), but in case I did consider one, I had left 250 GBs free on my SSD for this purpose)
