Do I have a RAT?

I keep getting this pop-up, it's annoying and kinda scary.

If that's the case, you're more than likely infected. Chrome is not known to do that. Never in my 10 years of using Chrome, nor any of my friends have experienced that. Only in Internet Explorer have I seen that normally.

I recommend downloading Eset Online Scanner and Hitman Pro and run a scan with them both (Not at the same time) and remove anything it finds. If it finds something classified as malware and you actively use the program, or think you need it, just remove it. Not worth it. For all you know, that program can be a culprit.

As far as a RAT goes though, a RAT wouldn't do that unless the creator is that stupid. A RAT will mostly just key-log you, or give the person who ratted you remote control to your computer, what you see and ability to view/download/upload your files.

thank you i just installed malwarebytes to see if that'll do anything

MB is not bad, though it's not as good as it used to be.

Good luck, though!

I got ratted on my other comp, they just took control instantly and started checking out files, but they were dumb and didn't lock me out.

Decided to install a few antiviruses and ran some scans removing some malicious shit. I’ve turned my PC off now and am on my phone. Hope I’m not fucked
