When you get hacked, or RATTED, I recommend this. 04-15-2017, 07:24 PM

So, when you get hacked or RATTED, they will normally delete a major file of your DLLS.
IF that happens, then you just go on the windows website, and search for the DLL.
If it's not there, just download an app called DLL File Recover.
That should fix it.
Good luck!

I usually reinstall, but I do have a few tools that could help. Rkill and Combofix are usually my go to programs when things get ugly.

First,
Install glasswire, Log the IP it connects to with pencil and paper
Second,
Re-install OS
Third,
Look up ISP and report IP knowing its static to receive data back.

Best bet is to not install sketchy software. If you somehow do, you should probably wipe the drive and reinstall.

If I got RATTED I would be more worried about my passwords and my personal files than my "system32"
Yes they would probably delete that, but 1. It's not hard to recover, and 2. I've had friends who've RATTED just to get passwords and to fuck with people. They never deleted System32.

A clean Installation of Windows Is exactly what I'd do.
Why spend hours on end trying to Identify and remove all malicious files when In around an hour's time, you'll be up and running with a clean Install at optimal performance and stability.
Thanks for the advice though.
