Buddy got a new welding rig off his boss after a shutdown.

Feel your pain on those long hoods, they will absolutely punish a flimsy block. I fought the same battle on a truck bed and once I switched to a rigid block the straight edges finally started acting right. Nothing worse than chasing waves you created yourself.

Wait, was his kid downloading mods from sketchy sites without telling him? Because that's how it always starts. Had almost the exact same thing happen last month, some guy's teenager grabbed a "free" mod loader and boom, browser hijacked to some fake search page plus a nice little miner tucked in startup. I still run Autoruns first honestly, it's the fastest way to spot what's set to launch and kill the weird stuff, then hit it with Malwarebytes after. The trick is checking scheduled tasks too, half these miners hide there now instead of startup folders. Good call making him watch the cleanup, that part matters more than the fix itself.
