Repair: Seeking help with system restoration

[DRG]

I tried to generate the checksums you asked for but was unsuccessful and I don't have the time to figure out why which is why I said "If someone else wants to get checksums be my guest" ....Nobody did

You asked at the start " Any help appreciated!"

I gave you a screen shot of the two installers and what MS win 10 reports their size as... apparently that's not good enough so we are back to ........"If someone else wants to get checksums be my guest"

Are you checking EVERY program on your computer the way you want our installers to be checked and why would you suspect our game installers were specifically targeted by this malware you acquired?

Again I have to apologize! I completly misunderstood you here.

I had many secondary backups on a network drive, that was exposed to the LAN. A friend of mine, who has greater knowledge regarding computer security things, scanned my computer and found many files infected with or altered by the malware. Unfortunately we did forget to scan my network drive. So when asking him about it, he told me to keep only those files I could check against a secure checksum. Since the disk with my primary backups has failed, at least with regards of the one partition containing the game installers, I now have to rely on the potentially affected copies.

So regarding your question, yes I am in the process of checking every file, of which I have no safe backup, or which cannot be easily downloaded again, and I deem important enough, that way. And I don't suspect your game installers were specifically targeted by the malware.
