Posting this for my buddy, he's having issues with his computer and I figured i'd post here to see if anyone knows whats up. I don't know his exact specs or computer or anything yet, but I know he's running the latest windows 7 home
The problem is, whenever he tries to run any NON JAVA program, even calculator and paint, his computer crashes instantly. But when he runs a Java program, say minecraft, the computer seems perfectly fine. Now we've delved pretty deep into this. He tried using a virus scanner, but it causes the computer to crash so I booted up a USB anti virus and did a scan but nothing was found. I then tried to boot into Kali and go on his OS and search his registry for anything, but the moment i went into his OS, the computer crashed. I've never seen anything like this before, so I have no idea if its a virus or a RAT. Maybe somebody is screwing with him somehow, i don't know.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
I will get more information on his computer tomorrow in the morning, but until then, any theories? We're stumped.
