Asked By GamerDude87 On

I recently dug out an old USB-operated missile system from the 2000s and wanted to give it a go, so I installed some software from GitHub. One of the things I installed was called the "libusb-win32 Filter Driver," and now my computer is acting up. After the installation, my keyboard, mouse, and even the Ethernet connection don't work whenever I boot up my PC. My dad and I suspect that it might have optimized the missile system in a way that messed up all of my USB ports. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Hey, just a heads up! It sounds like what you installed might actually be malware. It can mess with your Windows registry settings and change your USB ports to only accept RAW USBs instead of HID devices, so you could be in a bit of trouble right now.
