The anti-malware guide
It was around this time a year ago that we posted several tips for removing viruses, along with preventative measures for avoiding future infections. All of that still applies, but what happens when you have a particularly nasty malware infection that manages to evade your best efforts to eradicate it from your PC?That's when you need to kick your efforts up a notch. If things get really bad, the only recourse is a full-blown reinstallation of Windows, but that should be reserved for a last ditch effort. Before you consider the nuclear option, try these next-level tactics we put together to remove even the most stubborn malware.
Restoring Order
Depending on the type of infection, you might get away with restoring your system to a previous state. A stubborn malware infection is not necessarily sophisticated, and if that's what ails your PC, reverting back to a previous restore point (if one exists) can take your system back in time before things went south. In Windows 10, navigate to Control Panel > System and Security > System Protection and click the System Restore button. You will see a list of any restore points that exist, and if you click on one, there will be an option to scan for affected programs before going through with a restore. In Windows 7, click on Start > All Programs > Accessories > Systems Tools, then click the System Restore program icon.
Shock and Awe
If you're at your wits end trying to remove malware, then it's a safe assumption you already tried scanning your PC with an antivirus program, whether it is the one that Microsoft provides (Windows Defender) or a third-party solution such as Kaspersky. If not, start there, then move on to Malwarebytes, which often picks up malicious files that manage to evade traditional anti-virus programs. At this point, you've either eradicated your system of malware, or are ready to pound your keyboard in frustration. Don't do that. Microsoft offers a lightweight application called Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) that targets prevalent malware families and is frequently updated. Give that a go, and if you need more firepower, there are several free third-party programs you can (and should) try, including SuperAntiSpyware, SpyBot Search & Destroy, Zemana Antimalware, Norton Power Eraser, and Hitman Pro (free 30-day trial).
Portable Protection
Some of the more sophisticated malware infections are programmed to recognize certain third-party applications and either evade them or prevent them from properly installing. One way to get around that is by using a portable anti-malware program that can be used without installation. Even if you don't have an infection, these are handy to have on a USB flash drive in case a family or friend needs your assistance. There are several options, and it is a good idea to carry around more than one. Ones that we recommend include Emsisoft Emergency Kit, ClamWin Portable, Vipre Rescue, Dr. Web CureIt!, and Trend Micro House Call.
Outwit the Enemy
Malware writers play dirty, but so can you. If you've run into a malware infection that prevents your anti-virus program or anti-malware application from loading, you can try changing the program's filename and extension. In fact, the portable version of SuperAntiSpyware already does this by providing a unique filename each time you download the file. That makes it a bit more difficult for malware to sniff out a program. For other programs, you can take matters into your own hands by navigating to the directory where it's installed and renaming the executable that loads it. For example, the default location for Malwarebytes in Windows 10 is C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes\Anti-Malware\mbam.exe. Change the name of mbam.exe to something different, then try to load the program by double-clicking. You can also try changing the file extension from .exe to .com, which in many cases will not break functionality. To do that, you first have to be able to see the file extension. In Windows 10, open up any folder in Explorer and click the View tab. Go to Options > Change folder and search options, click the View tab, and uncheck the 'Hide extensions for known file types' checkbox. Once you've done that, you can rename mbam.exe to mbam.com and still load the program by double-clicking it.
That's a Funny Name
Some malware is considerably easier to remove once you've stopped it from running. To do this, type 'Task Manager' in the Start menu, and then expand the view by clicking on 'More details.' You will see a list of running programs and background processes. Scroll through these and look for any malware programs that might be clearly labeled, which can be the case if you know exactly what type of infection has found its way onto your system. Also be on the lookout for weirdly named programs consisting of a random string of characters. If in doubt, Google the program to make sure it's not something that is supposed to be running, and if not, right-click and select 'End Task.' Do the same thing in the Startup tab. Once the offending program has stopped running, it can be easier to remove using our other tips.
Roll Out RKill
Not all malware programs hide in plain site. If you're having trouble terminating a malicious program from running in the background, download and run RKill. This handy program was developed by BleepingComputer, a large support community run by volunteers, and a great resource for protecting against and removing malware. RKill is a portable application that doesn't need to be installed. What it does is terminate known malware processes that are running so you can resume trying to remove an infection. It doesn't delete any files, so it's safe to run. That also means you shouldn't reboot your system after running RKill, as any malware processes it managed to kill will just load back up.
Play It Safe
When all your efforts seem to be in vain because a malware infection is always two steps ahead, boot into Safe Mode. When you enter Safe Mode, Windows loads only the bare essentials. This limits the overall functionality of Windows, but it also means that malicious programs will not have a chance to load, putting you in a better position to clean up your system. There are different ways of booting into Safe Mode. In Windows 10, go the Start menu and click on the power button. While holding down the Shift key, press Restart. When Windows 10 reboots, it will prompt you to select from a list of options. Choose Troubleshoot, then Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart. In the menu that comes up, press the "4" key to choose the Enable Safe Mode option. An easier way to get there is to type System Configuration in the Start menu. In the Window that pops up, go the Boot tab and check the Safe boot box. Once you've booted into Safe Mode, you should be able to run an anti-malware program without any resistance.
Boot From a Live CD
Booting to an infected drive, even in Safe Mode, may seem like walking into the middle of a fire with a pail of water. Why not fight the inferno from afar, using a hose? That is sort of the idea behind a bootable rescue CD, otherwise known as a Live CD. Using a rescue CD, you can boot into an environment that is detached from your infected drive, and run a series of diagnostics and tools to pinpoint and eradicate malware. There are many different options out there, such as Ultimate Boot CD and SystemRescueCD. Some antivirus vendors offer their own rescue CD images as well, including Bitdefender and AVG. These are all viable options, though one we recommend giving a spin is the All-in-One System Rescue Toolkit. This is one of the newer rescue CDs put together by Paul Bryan Vreeland, a field technician who set out to build a streamlined option with both a bootable repair environment and a handful of Windows utilities in the same package. It's free to download, though donations are accepted,and it works with several versions of Windows, Linux, and even newer versions of Mac OS.
Time to Reset
If you have gotten to this point and still have not been successful in removing malware, there is one last thing you can try before going nuclear, but only if you're running Windows 10. One of things Microsoft added to Windows 10 is a Reset option that lets you keep your personal files while reinstalling Windows. It's a mini-nuke option, in that it removes your programs and settings, but keeps your documents and other items that you might not have backed up (and really, you should back them up anyway). To go this route, go to Windows Settings > Update & Security and select Recovery from the left-hand side. You can also type Reset my PC in the Start menu. Under the Reset this PC heading, click the Get started button and select the option that lets you keep your files. Follow the prompts and Windows will take care of the rest.

Everything You Need To Know About Destiny 2's Faction Rallies
Once again, Destiny 2's Faction Rallies are live on the PS4, Xbox One, and--for the first time ever--PC. For the uninitiated, Faction Rallies are an opportunity to earn exclusive rewards ranging from weapons and armor to shaders. In order to do this, you must pledge yourself to one of three factions and fight in its name. To join a faction, head to the Traveler and talk to one of the three leaders. Arach Jalaal (Dead Orbit faction) and Lakshmi-2 (Future War Cult) can be found in the Hangar, while Executor Hideo (New Monarchy) is tucked away in the Bazaar. To obtain the items they have, you'll need to trade them for rewards Tokens, which you earn by destroying supplies found in Lost Sectors or doing Public Events, Crucible matches, strikes, and the Raid. This gallery will help you locate each of the leaders and also show you what gear they have to offer. In related news, a Destiny 2 PC-only update was released ahead of the debut of Faction Rallies. Bungie has released the 1.0.6.2 hotfix, which is intended to resolve a technical issue that cropped up with a previous patch. The 1.0.6 update made changes to how Faction Tokens are earned.

Veterans and New Recruits
For many players, the multiplayer mode of the yearly edition of Call of Duty is a major event. But fans of the series are facing down a lot of changes with the latest entry into the franchise, Call of Duty: WWII, which switches out the science fiction-inspired, near-future warfare of more recent Call of Duty games for a return to the series' roots in World War II. Key multiplayer elements, like how to develop your weapon and ability loadouts, are different in Call of Duty: WWII, and the game also offers some unique challenges with its new "War" game mode. Here's everything you need to know as a new Call of Duty: WWII player to get your boots on the ground and help you win your war. Call of Duty: WWII is out now for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. For our thoughts about the game, check out our Call of Dutty: WWII review. You can also see what other critics are saying about the WWII shooter in our review roundup. And For more on Sledgehammer's huge title, check out our guide on how to get the Tesla Gun in Zombies Mode or take a look at the quest that rewards you for watching other players open loot boxes.
The Key To Your Loadout: Divisions
Past Call of Duty games allowed players to build their own multiplayer "loadouts" of weapons, scorestreaks and perks to customize how their characters played. There's a system like that in Call of Duty: WWII as well, but it's a bit confusing even for veteran players. Instead of classes to choose from that define your character's capabilities and focus, you build your loadout starting with one of five "Divisions." Each one has bonuses that enhance a certain play style and weapon choice, like providing faster sprint speeds or more ammo. Divisions provide you with bonuses that can match your play style, and you can switch between them in-match like previous Call of Duty loadouts. You can also level them up to access even better bonuses over time. Unlock all the Divisions as early as you can so you can get a sense of all of them and start leveling the ones that match your play style.
Basic Training Is Your Perk
The other new element of your loadout is "Basic Training." These are basically the "Perks" of old Call of Duty games, usually conveying you with a slight tactical advantage, like being able to see enemies your teammates have damaged or keeping you hidden on other players' minimaps. You'll unlock additional Basic Trainings as you level up, and the early ones are kind of useless, so keep an eye on them for new ones. A few are pretty useful--Rifleman, for instance, lets you carry two primary weapons into battle, while Instinct can let you know when an enemy you can't see is targeting you. Finding the right Basic Training for your play style can give you a serious advantage, so try as many as you can.
Don't Sleep On Attachments
Call of Duty: WWII has a handy system that makes it really easy to judge how a weapon will work. Each gun has a number of different ratings, like damage dealt and effective range, with a number between 1 and 10 to tell you how strong each of those stats are. That feeds into an overall number to tell you how good the gun is in battle. But you can increase those stats significantly with attachments. Once you've found a gun you like, using it in fights unlocks attachments you can add to increase and decrease its stats. They unlock pretty fast and are very effective in making a so-so gun into your favorite weapon. Like other Call of Duty games, you'll unlock new sights and grips that can increase range and reduce recoil. In the aftermath of battle, make sure you take time to check out any new ones you unlock and add the ones you like to your weapons. They can make you much more effective.
Drop By The Headquarters
Like Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, WWII adds a new space you can hang around in when you're not in a multiplayer battle, called the Headquarters. It's a "social space" where you'll see other players, but mostly it's just a more interesting menu for accessing some of the less-used features of Call of Duty: WWII multiplayer. But you do want to stop by the Headquarters at least once every time you fire up the game. For one, you'll get your "Payroll" every few hours, which gives you in-game currency to purchase cosmetic stuff for your guns. You can also pick up "Orders," which are daily and weekly challenges that can earn you loot boxes. You'll want a fresh crop of orders every day so you can make sure you're earning everything you can as you play.
Practice Scorestreaks (And Learn To Avoid Them)
One handy spot in the Headquarters that's not immediately obvious is the Scorestreak Training tower. You'll find it close to the beachhead. Head there and you can trigger a gameplay scenario in which you stand above the battlefield, watching computer-controlled troops battle each other while you call down any of the game's scorestreaks on top of them. Scorestreaks, Call of Duty players will remember, are bonus abilities unlocked when you earn enough points in a given life. They include calling in a recon plane to reveal enemy positions or dropping bombs on certain parts of the map. You can try all of them in the training tower, which will help you be prepared to use them in the field. But more importantly when you're first starting out, you can use the training tower to see what high-level scorestreaks can do, even if they've never been used on you before. You can bet that when you get onto the battlefield, there will be people facing off with you who play a lot. Avoid getting blindsided with scorestreaks you haven't unlocked or used by testing them out, so you can learn exactly how to avoid letting them kill you.
Take A Team To War
The big new multiplayer mode in Call of Duty: WWII is "War," a multi-stage objective based battle in which one team attacks, trying to complete objectives, and the other team defends those objectives. The mode is the most interesting addition to the game, and requires a lot of coordination between players and, often, some strategic thinking as well as shooter skills. War is less about killing and more about working together to accomplish goals, though. You can play it in quick match like any other game mode, but it's best enjoyed with a team. War is the game mode in which you want to grab a gaming headset and some friends so you can coordinate your efforts, and if you play alone, you won't be enjoying the mode to its full potential. If you find the other players insufferable, you can pull up the roster and quickly silence everybody with a handy "Mute All" button.
Learn Multiple Roles
This is just good advice for shooters like Call of Duty, where different weapons and classes are useful in specific situations, but you'll especially need to do it if you mean to play a lot of War. As you work through the mode, you'll find yourself going from fights in tight trenches and bunkers to long-range battles defending positions or escorting tanks. The different Divisions, Basic Trainings and guns available in WWII make it possible to create loadouts that are great for some of those situations and terrible for others, so you'll need to be flexible. In War, it's not enough to just be good with a M1 Garand or a submachine gun--you'll want to be good with both. On the Normandy map, for instance, getting off the beach can be made easier if you're a solid sniper, but as soon as you're out of the water, you need to climb into a pair of narrow bunkers and other players up close. If you can't handle both parts of the battle, you'll have a tough time. Spend some time with every Division and different types of guns, and pay attention to where on each War map you'll want to switch your role to be most lethal, and most helpful to your teammates.
Take Multiplayer Slower
Call of Duty fans coming off Infinite Warfare are going to find an adjustment period in switching to WWII. It's not just losing the movement-enhancing jetpack from the last few games--movement has been tweaked a bit in WWII and it's going to take a little while to get used to the new reality. For one thing, the time between the end of a sprint and being able to use your gun is probably a touch longer than players remember. You can also get perks to increase your sprint speed and duration, but right out of the gate it's pretty short. In general, it's a better idea to avoid sprinting in multiplayer. It leaves you extremely vulnerable, and on Call of Duty: WWII's fairly tight, twisty maps, you're going to want your gun out for those moments when you round a corner and find an enemy you didn't expect. Slow down and take your time and you're likely to suffer fewer deaths.
Listen To Your Teammates
You'll notice in multiplayer matches that, even with other players muted, there's still a ton of talking going on in matches. That's because all the player characters in every multiplayer match are still very vocal, calling out their situations. Some of their barks are just to create that WWII atmosphere, but others are really useful if you're paying attention. Listen for your teammates' characters to call out what they see, specifically enemy positions. They're usually pretty descriptive, telling you players are coming out of tunnels or hiding behind trucks and ammo boxes. Use that information to your advantage whenever you can.
Loot Boxes Drop Special "Epic" Weapons
You can mostly ignore most of Call of Duty: WWII's loot box system if you want to, as the boxes you'll earn mostly dish out cosmetic rewards like Calling Cards and emotes. But every once in awhile, you'll receive a special weapon of the "Epic" or "Legendary" variety, and to those you'll want to pay attention. Epic and Legendary weapon are mostly just different takes on your regular weapons, but with some nice bonuses. They'll let you earn experience points faster for your character or Division, which means you can more quickly unlock new perks and guns. You don't need to pay attention to loot boxes or find Epic and Legendary weapons to be good at multiplayer, but they can give you a leg up in advancing through your character progression.

In case you missed the news, Disney is in talks to buy most of 21th Century Fox. As many fans of Marvel Comics know, this is gigantic news as Fox has owned the movie rights to both the X-Men--as well as everything mutant related--and the Fantastic Four for years. If this deal goes through, that more than likely means Disney will have access to some of the best characters and stories from Marvel, which we could see on the big screen. Here's some of our favorite Marvel Comics stories, featuring the X-Men and Fantastic Four, we'd love to see in theaters.
Civil War: Written by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven
Yes, the Marvel Cinematic Universe already did this story for the third Captain America movie, and while it's a fantastic reshaping of the 2006 event, it is extremely underwhelming for fans of the comic. While most of the X-Men took a neutral stance in this conflict, Civil War completely split up the Fantastic Four, as Reed Richards was a major part of the superhuman registration act, working side by side with Iron Man while Sue and Johnny Storm stood with Captain America. Because of Captain America: Civil War's existence, it would be really hard to put a more accurate adaptation of this in the theaters without it feeling like a complete retreading.
Old Man Logan by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven
While 2017's Logan took a stab at the 2008 Marvel storyline, because of the characters involved, it would never be able to faithfully adapt it. The story takes place 50 years in the future, where most of the heroes in the Marvel Universe are dead and Wolverine went into hiding. President Red Skull has his own plot of land in America and so do the descendants of the Hulk. Logan has his own family and a friend who used to go by the name Hawkeye. Without giving much away, this is an adventure and revenge story that is one of the greatest Marvel stories of the 21st century.
House of M by Brian Michael Bendis and Olivier Coipel
With the news of writer Brian Michael Bendis heading off to DC Comics, it's would be a great time to honor one of his greatest stories at Marvel Comics: House of M, a story that completely changed the landscape for the publisher for close to a year and had an aftermath that still affects Marvel a decade later. In this story, Scarlet Witch's powers have become unstable and the heroes of the Marvel Universe decide they have to kill her. Before they can do so, she uses her powers to create a world where mutants are everywhere and now considered the superior species. It's incredibly crafted and would be an brilliant way to introduce mutants into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Secret Invasion by Brian Michael Bendis and Leinil Francis Yu
Secret Invasion is a nightmare when it comes to the rights of the characters, primarily for the book's main villain: The Skrulls. The shape-shifting alien race's film rights are partially owned by Marvel and partially by Fox. In addition, this book does feature Wolverine, as he was a member of the Avengers during this time. The 2008 event follows an invasion by Skrulls, who have been pretending to be both heroes and villains in the Marvel Universe. It was eight issues of the reader asking themselves "who can you trust," since anyone could secretly be a Skrull. Skrulls are already coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as the Kree/Skrull War will be an inspiration for 2019's Captain Marvel movie.
Secret Wars by Jim Shooter and Mike Zeck
Secret Wars perfectly combines all the heroes in the Marvel Universe into one, simple story. 33 heroes and villains have been plucked from their homes and brought somewhere unknown. They realize the person behind their kidnapping is the extra-dimensional being known as The Beyonder, who simply wants the heroes to fight the villains. Both Doctor Doom and Galactus are major parts of this story, but the rights to those characters are owned by Fox.
Avengers Vs. X-Men by Brian Bendis, Jason Aaron, Matt Fraction, Ed Brubaker, Jonathan Hickman, and John Romita Jr.
What better way to kick off Marvel owning the rights to the X-Men then having them fight the Avengers? In this 2012 event, the Phoenix Force is on its way to Earth--again--and both the X-Men and Avengers can't decide whether the cosmic being's arrival will save mutants or destroy the world. Their disagreement leads to an all-out-war. Much like Civil War, the story gives readers an insight into what makes these characters tick and the lengths they'll go to protect their own people.
Kang Dynasty by Kurt Busiek and Alan Davis
One of the Fantastic Four's greatest enemies is Kang The Conqueror, the time-travelling maniac who is incredibly technologically advanced. In 2001, a time when the comic industry was getting back on its footing, Busiek delivered this fantastic story of Kang coming to the present day, but this time, he's here to save it. Storywise, it's a little confusing, as in order to save Earth, he must forcibly take it over. It's one of the better depictions of the villain, and one of the best Avengers stories from that time.
Young Avengers by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung
When the Young Avengers comic was first announced, I couldn't have been more against its existence. Then, I read it, promptly put my own foot in my mouth, and the book became one of my favorites at Marvel. The 12-issue miniseries follows a group of young heroes called the Young Avengers, and without getting too into the story--because there are tons of twists and turns in the book--the story is a perfect mixture of the characters within the Marvel Universe, combining elements from Fantastic Four, cosmic aliens, and mutants. This first run, along with the follow-up The Children's Crusade, would make great big screen adaptations.
The Coming of Galactus by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby
Easily, "The Coming of Galactus" could be the next Avengers film, in a post-Infinity War world. The three-issue story from 1966 introduces the world to not only Silver Surfer but also to Galactus, who is off to Earth to eat it. Fox attempted to tell this story in 2007 film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, but it was widely panned. This would be the perfect way to combine the efforts of the current Avengers and the Fantastic Four as well as a way to introduce a new cosmic threat, seeing as though Thanos will more than likely be out of the picture after Infinity War.
Crossover/Frightful by Mark Millar and Greg Land
The story of Ultimate Fantastic Four is one of the best things to come out of the Ultimate Universe at Marvel, especially when you consider Reed Richard's turn into the Maker later on. Reed Richards makes contact with a parallel world filled with zombified versions of all the superheroes and villains from Marvel. Eventually, the Fantastic Four gets everything under control, capturing the zombie versions of themselves, but Doctor Doom returns, and nothing goes as planned for the heroes. It is a Fantastic Four-centric story, but it does involve characters from outside the FF, like Magneto--who is a major part of the first half of the story. More than anything else, this is a solid horror story that could work well for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Cap Kingdom
Peach begins her journey as you did in the Cap Kingdom. You can find her near the bridge to the tower past the Crazy Cap shop hanging out with Tiara. Talk to her to get your first Power Moon.
Cascade Kingdom
To find Peach in the Cascade Kingdom, warp to Fossil Falls Heights and she'll be hanging out on the cliff's edge listening to the nearby waterfall.

In the Sand Kingdom, warp to the Tostarena Ruins Round Tower and take the electricity wire all the way to the top of the inverted pyramid. Peach and Tiara will be hanging out next to a Jaxi statue.
Wooded Kingdom
Warp to the Iron Mountain Path Station 8 and head up the nearby ramp. Activate the P block and jump your way up the path leading to the top of the tower to find Peach on top.
Lake Kingdom
Peach is easy to find in the Lake Kingdom. Warp to Water Plaza Terrace and she'll be at the top of the stairs watching the waves.
Cloud Kingdom
The Cloud Kingdom is pretty small, so it's even easier to find Peach. Head up the platforms and to find her standing at the edge of the level taking in the scenery.
Lost Kingdom
Peach can be found shopping near the Crazy Cap store in the Lost Kingdom. Warp to the Rocky Mountain Summit and she'll be waiting for you there.
Metro Kingdom
Once you arrive in the Metro kingdom, warp to the Rooftop Garden, and then use the electrical wire to get between buildings. When you arrive, use the orange posts and boxes to reach the top of the tallest building in town.

The Luncheon Kingdom is hosting a celebration after Bowser's defeat. You can find Peach in Proenza Plaza; she's standing past the shop waiting for her serving next to the big vat of stew waiting for her serving.
Ruined Kingdom
Like the Cloud Kingdom, the Ruined Kingdom is also a small area, which means Peach is once again easy to find. Simply head back to where you faced the dragon boss and Peach will be nearby keeping the reptile company.
Bowser's Kingdom
Leaving no kingdom out, peach even explores Bowser's Kingdom. To find her, warp to the souvenir shop and she'll be standing nearby its entrance with Tiara.
Moon Kingdom
To find Peach, go behind the church, capture the frog, and climb onto the roof of the chapel. You'll see her taking in the sights just under the church bells.
Mushroom Kingdom
Peach also returns to the Mushroom Kingdom after her travels are complete; she sets up shop on the castle balcony. To get to her, proceed behind the castle to find a scarecrow and throw Cappy at it to spawn stairs. This will take you to roof where you can easily jump down to greet Princess Peach and claim your last Power Moon.
