I'm dealing with a really persistent Mimikatz PowerShell virus that keeps evading Windows Defender's attempts to remove it. I've scoured the net, but I can't find a single comprehensive thread on how to get rid of this. If anyone has suggestions or methods that could help me out, I'd really appreciate it!

The most effective way to deal with a tricky virus like this is to wipe everything and reinstall Windows using a USB drive. Make sure to disconnect the computer from the internet during this process. Once you've done the reinstall, change all your passwords to secure your accounts, just to be safe. It’s a hassle, but it’s the best way to ensure the virus is completely gone.
Also, consider creating the Windows install USB on a different computer to avoid transferring any malware.
Wow, I didn't realize it was that severe! Is there truly no way to fix it without wiping everything? I’d need to back up important files and photos first.
