Good morning all,
my recent run in with RATs, I assume, has brought me to the site. I'm by no means, more no more than a novice computer user. I I would say I have a little more experience with Windows-based operating systems and also iOS operating system. Linux is very new to me and I've only used it a couple times before I ran it to my issues. I haven't been able to give it a fair assessment yet but I hope to work with it more and learn the system to see what it can do to make my life easier. Hopefully I can pass on any of my knowledge with these other operating systems or RATs if any info or insight I have can be useful to anybody. The past four months dealing with these RATs has been nothing short of trying, every free moment I have spent trying to take back my life that they've stolen from me. I hope this site will be able help me get rid of this problem and be able to move on to better thing. God knows I've spent enough hours on the phone with Microsoft and Apple and gotten absolutely nowhere with them. But on a brighter note, I really have learned from them both on how to point a finger.

Hello and welcome to the forum. That's one of the more original usernames I've seen here.

While this is primarily a Linux forum, once in a great while we have questions regarding Windows and perhaps other OS's.

Regards...

Hi and WELCOME! Maybe will rescue you, from RATs!

Re: your 1st 'tech vs. intro' post here, I have 2 questions: what 'distro'? 'Private' IP?

I'm 'behind' a 'router', so my computers have a non-public IP, like 192.168.x.y
so outsiders can't [directly] access me (tho malware can connect out, once I accidentally 'click' it in )
(don't post your actual address IF it's 'public', like 123.45.67.89!)

Anyways, Best wishes! p.s. Have a read of this: it's my [current] favorite 'HowToLQ'

Greetings NND.
