Fishing Scammers New Season Cs2

I lost all the ranking points I collected in the game myself, getting caught on phishing servers of scammers to which my Steam client connects automatically. After that, I don't want to be humiliated with ping blocking in matches; this is trolling and technical vulnerabilities that boosters use over and over again, disregarding all rules and the entire community. I'm tired of playing in such seasons and listening to insults directed at me, so I decided to write to everyone who has experienced the same treatment. I will simply remove this virus from my PC.

Yea again, no need to keep relying here with non-sense. Contact Steam Support and explain the issues.

Wipe your PC fully.
Use a clean USB flash drive and make new fresh Win10 22H2 or Win11 24H2 install media.

Be careful with files off of questionable websites. Never click links in emails. Know the official Steam websites and never login to any 3rd party site that requests your Steam linking or login info.

Request an IP# change from your ISP

Sounds like you're on 3rd party CS servers maybe.

deleting the virus is not enough as they often embed themselves into things

run antivirus software such as malwarebytes to get rid of it fully

Have you wiped the OS Drive out and started over?

After you redo your OS; are you relying on files you downloaded onto other drives, to reinstall back into your now fresh OS? Those files on another drive could be your problem.

Fishing scammers are people out to get a free piece of COD or maybe they are after some Haddock.

You're thinking of phishing scammers.

If you simply launch the Steam client, you randomly get thrown onto a phishing server that has an admin or a person with privileges or a group using rage software. Afterwards, you are asked to press F1 or F2, at which point an inject happens into the user's PC, and then you start connecting only to servers like theirs. You can easily get 10-15 minus lost games, and this happens unnoticed by the player.

You're funny. No you have malicious root kit malware on your PC and it didn't come from Valve or any Gane.

This is a hardware problem for user protection and their connection within the Steam client, which makes it so easy for attackers to intercept players' internet traffic and boost while violating all rules.

its not a hardware problem
the hardware is working properly, even if there is a malware in the os/software

its mainly user initiated problem, as the os or game would not do that by itself

This is a hardware problem with Steam and Windows 22h2 that has been ongoing for about two years after updates, blocking network traffic and disabling Windows Defender ping. On earlier versions of the system, this problem miraculously goes away, and if you disable Windows Defender, it also disappears. However, on version 21h1 and version 21h2, hackers more frequently introduce viruses into the system, causing panic on PCs.
