Right, so this is going to be embarrassing but it's presumably something we've all been through at one point or another, and I guess this is my first time resolving something like this in the way that I did so figured I'd share if only to share that it's now a thing and that it's pretty cool..

A friend of mine sent a message asking what's up and if I wanted to watch a movie together, I was kinda hesitant but she buttered things a bit and finally I'm like fine, and so she sends me a link to some clearly vibe coded site that I'm kinda getting red flags from and so I forget about it and a little later I get another message going "we're waiting for you" and so I'm like shit, I guess I gotta do it huh, and so I open up this goofy looking site again. You gotta login to join a room, and you gotta sign up inside their downloaded software, sure whatever, next thing I know some fake 150MB file's fake install bar is stuck at fake 50% and both my Chrome and Discord's crashed and reloaded. Suspect, but I've been through this stuff before, it's probably just a RAT so I guess it's time to dust off Windows Defender and unplug the internet for a little bit. I message her to go on and watch it without me as my PC's giving me suspicious vibes right now, and seconds later I get some overly polite DietGPT in my IM's saying "sorry um excuse me but it appears that i've hacked you👉👈", occasionally switching to really hostile broken English asking for giftcards from some site I've never heard of. I stall, unplug the PC's internet so my router still responds to pings, and start punching into GLM "what do" and it tells me it's a session grabber - time to switch passwords. Meanwhile my phone's texts are blowing up with 2FA login requests from domain registrys and other bad stuff and I kinda freak out a little. I get my emails' passwords switched first and by the time it's Discord's turn my friendlist's already been nuked and the dude says I got 10 minutes to give him $200 or he's gonna fuck me up some more, and so I kinda figured welp time to figure out what more he's got and so I called him a giant pussy and he blocked me. An hour later my Discord was perma-banned, he had posted the phrase "i sell cp" using my account and used that as blackmail along with some really old photos of me, I though it was a bluff but oh well it's being handled with Discord's customer support on it's own. Now I sat there alone, in the middle of the night, having just had my friends on the phone yanked away from me with a permaban, knowing that if I reboot I'd probably be ransomware'd or something so I figured let's run Windows Defender - it found nothing, 0 results on a full scan.. Too good to be true, so I grabbed AwdCleaner on my phone and transfered it via USB. It found an AVG Toolbar for Chrome. That confirms it, I haven't used AVG for decades and so I removed it but it's back 5 minutes later. That double confirms it, I'm screwed. With nowhere else to go and potentially a ticking timebomb running on my PC that could start encrypting or deleting files at any given moment I figured why the hell not, if I'm going to watch my pc blow up I might as well send in the goofy little local LLM to cut one of the wires,

here's the situation. i've downloaded a maliscious file that unfortunately hacked my discord and got me banned. i'll be dealing with that on my own. your job is to study the files in the project folder and see if you can help me clean up my computer, as presumably the virus is still active. there's no internet connected, and i request that you refrain from running the ******.exe file (******.exe is the virus archive, do not run it, it's a 7zip archive), please help.

And so Qwen3.8-27B got to work, and to big surprise after around 60 minutes of clawing at the file it had done what I asked and a whole lot more. it fully deciphered all the layers these clowns had bundled this thing with in order to make it appear legit, it had created a single PowerShell removal script ready to go complete with a pre-launch check enabled by default and everything, and it was reverse engineering 0-days in qProtect to get the C2 domain used by this malware so that it could be blocked from the network.

If you're looking for what Qwen3.8-27B is capable of doing fully on it's own if you let it, here's a 15k line example of it's ability to tear some piece of shit session grabber to shreds in a single prompt: https://www.mdshare.online/s/Mamdrs1WWkurRtt8z8QzK

I let it do what it does best for an additional 24 hours, the additional information is going to the Discord Support team. Hopefully shit like this can be prevented.

TLDR; Qwen3.8-27B > Windows Defender, and don't forget to use 2FA.
