I'm really worried about my Windows 11 computer because I'm getting notifications that say there's been a blockage from a possible threat: "Trojan.Linux.Mozi Botnet Outbound Connection was blocked." I've never encountered anything like this before, and I'm not sure if the issue needs fixing through my computer's settings or if it also involves my router. I want to make sure that this threat is completely eliminated and doesn't try to connect again.

It sounds like a serious issue! I recommend starting by downloading free tools like Malwarebytes and running a full scan. If that doesn’t solve it, you might need to completely reinstall Windows to wipe everything out. Also, don’t forget to check your router settings for any potential security updates.
If you're already considering resetting your PC, definitely do that! Once you've reset it, using those cleanup tools after can still be very beneficial. Even after a reset, there's a chance some issues could linger, so it’s good to ensure your system is completely clean.
Make sure to only download tools like Malwarebytes from their official sites. There's a lot of fake versions out there that can make the situation even worse. After running the scans, keep checking your router settings—sometimes it helps to improve your overall security.
Yes, you should get Malwarebytes and Hitman Pro (those are great for this kind of threat). When you run the scans, make sure to do it in Safe Mode with Networking for the best results. It's a step-by-step process—run each tool one after the other until they all come back clean. It might take some time, but it's worth the effort!
